Our History

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!

Our Mission

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.

Meet Puppy! She join

Meet Puppy! She joined us from another rescue in fall of 2024. She is approximately 29 years old and has been through numerous homes. She has a history of both physical and severe trauma/emotional abuse. Puppy also has severe health challenges, including osteoarthritis, heart disease, and GI issues that we are working on resolving. Her prior rescue made great strides in healing both her emotional wounds and helping her become healthier and stronger, and we are committed to continuing their incredible work to help her heal. www.maars.org/support-puppy ...
