Parrot Palm Ranch is committed to providing a safe haven, including proper veterinary care, nutrition, socialization, physical and mental stimulation as well as a clean, spacious environment for exotic birds.

With exotic birds recorded to live over 100 years and many of them outliving their owners, the sanctuary is a solution to fulfill their needs.

Many people are drawn to their beauty and are not aware of the challenges of keeping a pet bird. They tend to be high maintenance in many ways which sometimes can create a challenge for many households. This includes such things as being very loud, messy, in need of attention, jealousy of certain family members which in turn can often create a neurotic, mean and ultimately unwanted bird.

We have found that many people seem to lose interest after discovering these requirements and that it is a life-long commitment. Few community shelters and humane groups are equipped to handle the larger birds, which makes parrot sanctuaries even more important to a community. 

We realize that those who invest in a bird have probably spent a lot of money to purchase them as well as adequate housing and accessories for them. The initial desire for some people is to get back a return on that investment and seek to sell them. Before you place that advertisement, please consider this: your bird may end up being caught in a cycle of continuous instability, abuse or neglect creating a traumatized and unwanted bird.

Birds are extremely intelligent and without attention and social interaction, they often develop psychological problems such as feather plucking and self-mutilation. Once these behaviors have started they cannot always be reversed. However we have found that our sanctuary has created many happy, rehabilitated birds that could eventually be placed into pre-approved loving homes.

If you have a bird that you feel you can’t properly care for, please contact us for more information about placement.
