It all started with our first bird Marshmellow, a Molluccan Cockatoo. We always had a fascination for the Exotic Birds and always wanted to get up and personal with them at the bird shows and could never understand why we could not but we do now. Our next was a Umbrella Cockatoo named Lou that was given to us because the owners were expecting a baby. The third was a 27 year old Blue and Gold Macaw
, named Sabastian, who was given up because the owner drove a truck and was on the road a lot and couldn't take care of him. We could never say no as it was for the welfare of the Bird. We have had up to 100 birds at one time but have adopted many in the last year. We currently have 53 (and that number changes weekly) in the sanctuary which include Macaws, Sulfur Crested Cockatoos, Molluccan Cockatoos, and Umbrella Cockatoos, Cockatiels, Parokeets and Amazon's. Some came to us because they are loud, some because they bit the owner and others because the owners were just tired of taking care of them. They certainly can be a lot of work and can be loud but the bond that can be established is worth it. We have done workshops at local pet stores and local Boy Scout meetings and plan on many more in the future. We would like this page to profile our birds and serve as an information base.
