About Us

HISTORY

 

Florida Parrot Rescue was established by Jennifer & Chris who are team members of a local animal hospital, After getting repeated requests from unhappy bird owners wanting to surrender their birds they decided to see what they could do to help. Realizing there are few avian rescues out there prepared to handle the intake and veterinary care of exotic birds, they formed the Florida Parrot Rescue. This organization was established to pair the right birds with their forever families.

 

Florida Parrot Rescue is a not-for-profit avian rescue dedicated to the rescue, rehabilitation and placement of companion parrots. We understand that all parrot owners love their birds, and that finding a new home for their birds is used as a last option. Florida Parrot Rescue remains non-judgmental and supportive in your time of need. If you need to re-home your bird, Florida Parrot Rescue can help by offering your bird a safe place to stay and get veterinary care until the right home can be found!

 

Florida Parrot Rescue is run & supported by the help of our wonderful volunteers. We are 100% not-for-profit, & have no paid employees. Everyone who works for the Florida Parrot Rescue does so without any financial compensation, donating their time & efforts to our goals. Because we run & depend on our volunteers, we ask you to be patient & understanding when inquiring about adopting a bird or volunteering to help. Most of us work full time jobs in addition to supporting the rescue, & we appreciate your patience.

OUR MISSION

 

Florida Parrot Rescue is dedicated to the rescue and rehabilitation of companion parrots. We strive to educate parrot owners on proper handling and care of parrots. Should someone be unable to keep their bird(s) for ANY reason, we want them to know there is a place to turn, and that they are not alone. It is our goal to provide a safe haven for birds that cannot stay with their owners or birds in need, and then to find those birds permanent forever homes with loving and responsible families.
