Our History

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.

Parrots rely on heal

Parrots rely on healthy, intact habitats to survive. They depend on native food sources, safe nesting sites and balanced ecosystems. When their numbers decline, it’s often a warning sign that something in that habitat is under pressure. When parrots thrive, forests and all who depend on them thrive too.When we protect habitat for parrots, we’re protecting entire ecosystems, including the plants, insects, reptiles, amphibians, birds and mammals that share those same environments.

Parrots rely on healthy, intact habitats to survive. They depend on native food sources, safe nesting sites and balanced ecosystems. When their numbers decline, it’s often a warning sign that something in that habitat is under pressure.

Protecting parrots strengthens biodiversity and supports the natural systems we all rely on, from the smallest insect to the largest mammal.

This World Wildlife Day, we’re proud to work alongside partners around the world to safeguard parrots and the habitats they call home.

Because when parrots thrive, forests and all who depend on them thrive too.
