The wonderful people at Eatmore Sprouts in Courtney bring us all kinds of sprouts every week for the birds. If we had to buy these we would certainly not be able to include them in our menu. They even deliver them to us! The sprouts are all organic, fresh, and only the best quality. They are perfect for the parrots. This company contributes to the health of the Refuge birds in a very special way and we are indebted to them for their generosity. Thank you to the caring folk at Eatmore Sprouts!
Please click on the thumbnails below to learn how you can help some special birds have a home for life through our "Virtual Adoption" program! More stories coming soon!
Birds who are now partly sponsored, thank you!
Birds who are now fully sponsored, thank you!
"This is, in a word, a great place and these miraculous creatures deserve no less, but few places can deliver it this well. It is, indeed, 'world class'."
– Stewart Metz (author and Director of the Indonesian Parrot Project), after his visit at the Grand Opening of the Refuge on August 13, 2005.
"The World Parrot Refuge is a true sanctuary where parrots live out their lives in a loving, spacious and happy environment under the guidance of extraordinarily caring people. The many visitors destined to pass through the refuge will come to understand that parrots are not toys or trophies, but beings with needs and emotions as real as our own."
– Rosemary Low (author of more than 30 books on parrots)
