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 the Florida Parrot Rescue:
Just because it’s sold as a “bird cage” doesn’t mean it’s appropriate for full time housing. Pet stores routinely market small cages as complete bird “habitats,” leaving well-meaning owners believing they’re providing appropriate housing.
Birds need room to move, stretch, climb, play and exercise. A cage shouldn’t just give them room to fit. It should give them room to LIVE.
When we know better, we can do better.

These are just **three of the many things it takes to run a parrot rescue.**
**Cleaning:** Scrub. Rinse. Sweep. Mop. Repeat. A clean environment is essential to keeping our residents healthy. When your flock specializes in throwing food, shredding toys, and creating impressive amounts of debris, there's always something that needs attention. Sanctuary takes a lot of elbow grease.
**Feeding:** Every day means preparing meals for an entire flock. Fresh foods, formulated diets, individual dietary needs, safe food storage, preparation, serving. Then washing all those dishes. Good nutrition is one of the foundations of parrot care, and getting it right takes planning, knowledge, time, and a whole lot of chopping.
**Veterinary Care:** Wellness exams are only the beginning. Our residents may need diagnostics, medications, procedures, follow-up appointments, emergency treatment, or lifelong management of chronic conditions. Needs change as birds age, and new challenges can arise at any time. Lifetime sanctuary means providing compassionate veterinary care through every stage of life.
These are only a few of the daily responsibilities that keep our residents healthy, safe, and thriving. Throughout this month, we'll be sharing even more of what it really takes to run a parrot sanctuary. Stay tuned!
