The Issue: Parrot Owners Unprepared for Challenges

Although parrots can be colorful, exotic pets, they require far more care than domesticated animals. They are messy, loud, and nip at fingers, challenging many new owners beyond their abilities. The unexpected demands of caring for a parrot cause some owners to fear their pet or give it up, leading the birds to endure abuse, neglect, and the stress of being rehomed many times throughout their lives. Parrot rescues work to intercede on behalf of the parrot, providing a shelter wherein the unwanted birds can live with dignity and respect.

The Campaign: Feeding Rescued Parrots

If this Grassroots campaign raises $300, then The Priceless Parrot Preserve can feed its resident parrots a healthful diet for one month. The more than 100 parrots receive regularly donated food pellets, but require nutrient-packed seeds, nuts, and fruit to remain healthy. By keeping the birds well fed, caregivers can prevent diseases and stress-related behaviors such as self-plucking. Each additional $300 raised will feed the parrots for another month.
