Donor Bill of Rights
Philanthropy is based on voluntary action for the common good. It is a tradition of giving and sharing that is primary to the quality of life. To assure that philanthropy merits the respect and trust of the general public, and that donors and prospective donors can have full confidence in the not-for-profit organizations and causes they are asked to support, we declare that all donors have these rights.
- To be informed of the identity of those serving on the organization's governing board, and to expect the board to exercise prudent judgment in its stewardship responsibilities.
- To have access to the organization's most recent financial statements.
- To be assured their gifts will be used for the purposes for which they were given.
- To receive appropriate acknowledgment and recognition.
- To be assured that information about their donations is handled with respect and with confidentiality to the extent provided by law.
- To expect that all relationships with individuals representing organizations of interest to the donor will be professional in nature.
- To be informed whether those seeking donations are volunteers, employees of the organization or hired solicitors.
- To have the opportunity for their names to be deleted from mailing lists that an organization may intend to share.
- To feel free to ask questions when making a donation and to receive prompt, truthful and forthright answers.
Here is your chance to make a difference in the world!
There is NO paid staff! We operate exclusively by volunteers!
What your donation goes towards:
The necessary supplies and equipment to facilitate proper care for resident parrots and parrots awaiting rescue and/or new adoptive homes. Your gift will allow us to continue the extensive work we do in rehabilitating parrots from all situations.
Veterinary care, pharmaceuticals, and supplies and special equipment.
Food and dietary supplements. A quality pellet based diet (we use Mazuri and Prime supplements), fresh, frozen, dried fruits and vegetables, legumes, beans, nuts, pastas, rice, a variety of other perishable and non perishables foods.
Cages, food, feeding bowls, toys & toy parts, perches, stands, carriers, cage litter, cleaning and miscellaneous supplies, tools used to sanitize cages, perches, toys and bird areas.
Office equipment and supplies. Printer ink, paper, pens, postage stamps and supplies, outside print jobs we can not do ourselves.
Grooming supplies needed to properly trim wings,
feathers, beaks and nails
Website fees
Outside behavioral consultants when needed
Travel expenses incurred for birds in need of immediate refuge and travel expenses to do home visits (adoptions)
Expansion of our current educational workshops and programs to include more events that promote and educate bird owners on proper dietary requirements, complicated social and physical needs, husbandry, positive reinforcement training, and public awareness of the plight of bird kept in captivity as well as their wild counterparts. We need help with expenses associated with traveling and attending such events and programs
Expansion of our Animal-assisted therapy program. Animal-assisted therapy is designed to improve the physical, social, emotional and/or cognitive functioning of the patient, as well as provide educational and motivational effectiveness for participants. We visit nursing homes and other institutions
Contributions to the shelter’s operating fund are always needed. This money allows the shelter to run on a daily basis, feeds our animals, pays for medical treatments and supports our many programs
  
With your help, we will be able to build our resident parrots an exquisite facility that will offer travelers and visitors an up close and personal experience with some of our amazing residents. Our new shelter will be as close to the species natural habitat a possible. An example would be watching macaws forage and play in the duplicated rainforests and savanna habitats of South and Central America. Each indoor-outdoor (weather permitting) habitat will have flowing water, trees and plants from the parrots native environment
 
Whether you are planning a school trip or researching as part of your educational curriculum, you are sure to find the information you need at our future facility that will be open to the public

There are over 334 recognized species of parrot and more than 30% of them fall under some form of protection as endangered species. This number is increasing annually and therefore we, as a group, feel committed to proceed into the world of conservation by both assisting programs that are already in existence and by initiating our own programs.
Birds are the 3rd most popular pet in the United States. Just like cats and dogs many become unwanted and homeless. Birds are rehomed 7-9 times on average throughout their lives. Many develop unfavorable behavior issues and as a result end up in shelters that are over-flowing with unwanted birds.
Every dollar counts! Help us make a difference! Donate to an exotic bird that needs your help to survive!
