MAARS needs your help to create a new sanctuary that provides space for flight. Your support is vital for giving the birds an environment that can better meet their unique needs than the current location.
From Parrot Trust Scotland:
Parrots are highly intelligent creatures and have their own versions of adolescence and puberty.
And yes - just like human children - they will become uncooperative, difficult to please and prone to tantrums at this time!
It's during this important and stressful phase that they establish their unique personalities, so it's up to us to try to help and understand them with patience and kindness - even though they can drive us to distraction at times!

In the past month, two high-profile pet store disasters made headlines. These tragedies underscore the danger of keeping and selling animals as “pets.” Almost all animals sold in pet stores are bred in cruel mills and shipped hundreds, even thousands, of miles, to reach a shelf. Even if an animal survives that journey, there’s no guarantee they’ll survive in the store.
