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.

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!
