Providing life-changing care and environment for special needs avian species in Minnesota.
Since the founding of MAARS in July 1999, almost 1500 unwanted parrots have come through our doors. More than 1400 birds have been successfully placed into permanent homes. We’ve consistently grown since then, all thanks to the helping hands of this amazing community!

MAARS’ core function is to care for our flock at our facility, The Landing. Our primary mission is to educate the public, people who already live with parrots, and the veterinary community about the issues that face captive parrots.

In November 2025, we renewed our accreditation with The Global Federation of Animal Sanctuaries (GFAS) after a thorough, comprehensive on-site evaluation, confirming our compliance with their rigorous criteria. MAARS has been engaged with GFAS since its inception, and we take pride in upholding their high standards for animal care, organizational sustainability, and ethical practices. GFAS ensures animals receive top-tier care throughout their lives. As a sanctuary specializing in caring for birds with special needs, we appreciate the value you see in humanely caring for wild animals in captivity through no fault of their own.
