| Our Mission |
Our mission is focus on abuse prevention and to pursue the rescue of abused, neglected, unwanted or displaced companion psittacines (parrot type birds) where we specialize in identifying any medical, behavioral, dietary, or other needs and treat the bird as necessary. We find adoptive home from interviewed applicants that meet or exceed the same standards of commitment we expect of ourselves while placing emphasis on education of current or future bird owners as well as the general public. We teach about the compassion, commitment, care and information required for companion avians to thrive in domestic situations. We also commit ourselves to offering aid to elderly or terminally ill applicants who inquire of the organization to have a companion songbird or other small bird to offer comfort in the final days of the person(s) utilizing the service. Proof from Hospice or your doctor is required in order for you to be eligible for this service. PPAR provides the cage and food. There is no charge for these services, though donations are always welcome. In more detail, we: |

Whether the bird is a seemingly devilish creature, its noise level is too loud, or a new baby and jealousy enters the home - we are here to help. Whatever the reason we will take in Parakeets, Cockatiels and Finches all the way up to Macaws and give them a second chance in a new home. Our goal is to be non-judgemental (in most cases other than serious abuse) and to aid in any behavioral. medical or nutritional rehabilitation if needed. We encourage owners to utilize our services. There have been instances where people will release a bird outside and we want to convince owners to be responsible and call us instead. Domestic raised birds cannot fend for themselves outside for long and to let them go outside is the same as giving them a death sentence. Outside they would live for a few days until they starved, dehydrated or are predated upon. Birds who have had their beloved owners pass away without making provisions for them are another welcomed displacement. Bonds between owner and avian are often immeasurable and to be suddenly severed by a death may cause stress and depression in any avian companian. We place special attention on the needs of all the birds coming through our facility and match the needs of the birds with the capabilities of our qualified and experienced staff. We love each and every bird who comes to us. We love the little naked plucker and the African Grey with the potty mouth. We set up an individualized treatment plan for each bird and how we will work with them - Health and Wellness checks, dietary needs, socialization levels, ability to entertain themselves with toys and ability to interact with other birds or humans are all checked, noted and used to plan what will be the best treatment of each bird and ultimately what kind of family will be best to adopt it. Who Is Allowed to Adopt? Everyone is welcomed and encouraged to fill out an application. Each potential adopting family is screened and interviewed to see which kind of bird they would best be paired with. A first time bird owner will not typically be paired with a Macaw that needs an experienced handler, and in the same sense an experienced Macaw owner of 15 birds won't necessarily get the macaw either because of possible time constraints they would have in offering one on one time. Each condition is looked at and decided on for its own merits and how it will benefit the bird the most. Family size, financial situation, other pets, experience and how much time you can spend with the potential new companian are all included in the decision for being able to adopt. All who adopt are required to take a minimum one hour education course. Educational courses may cover topics from nutrition to biting to first aid and are aimed to expand the owners knowledge of care as well as their interaction with their companian. We want all placements to be permanent so we strive to offer the tools for families to do just that. We also ask all to call with any parrot related question at any time. We want to help you and your bird in any way we can, whenever we can. Visit our FAQ's |
