The Refuge is deeply grateful to staff, volunteers, donors and supporters, who have helped us through the rough times and challenges of 2007. We could not have done it without you, and we hope you'll continue to help us in 2008 to secure this important "Home for Life" for all of our special flocks. There are so many people who don't know about us yet - even the locals on Vancouver Island! Please let your friends know about the Refuge so they can support us too, even if it's just by coming out to visit and say hello. Our flocks love visitors, and so do we! Thank you!

Thank You to all our Supporters in 2007!

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)
