Today, 20 million birds are living in captivity.  20 million highly intelligent creatures that are confined to cages or aviaries. 20 million social creatures that are not living with their biological mates or flocks.

Parrots are among the most frequently abandoned, neglected, and abused “pets” in need of rescue.  Why?  Parrots live long, are loud, bite, chew your home, and can be territorial and hormonal. Many parrots, currently in shelters, sanctuaries, and rescues, have lived in several homes before ending up in a rescue.

Foster Parrots and the New England Exotic Wildlife Sanctuary in Hope Valley, Rhode Island, is a non-profit organization dedicated to rescuing and protecting parrots and other captive exotic animals.  Foster Parrots is home to over 400 captive parrots, with daily calls from individuals looking to relinquish their parrots.  

Foster Parrots promotes humane education programs within the community that advocate responsibility and accountability for caring for the earth and its animals. Foster Parrots also works with conservation groups in Central and South America to help protect the habitat of parrots and other animals.

“Parrots are worth more in the trees than cages; parrots and all wild animals should be free.” #NoCageIsBigEnough
