In this special campaign spearheaded by supporters Tina, Andrew, & Elvis the Budgie, we are looking for 2500 wonderful people to commit to a regular monthly donation of $10 each, to help provide a strong funding base to carry the work of the World Parrot Refuge forward.

We realize that making a commitment for the full or half virtual adoption of a parrot can be difficult in these trying times - so Tina, Andrew, and Elvis came up with the idea of the For The Birds! Campaign. If you can spare $10 a month, you can become part of this important campaign to establish long-term funding for our parrot friends.

Click on the "Donate Now" button in the top right-hand corner of any page on the website, and select the "For The Birds! Campaign" as your fund designation. In this way, we can keep track of progress toward our goal of 2500 permanent monthly $10 supporters! Remember that your donation is tax-deductible, and CanadaHelps (the organization that securely processes our online credit card donations) will issue you with a tax receipt.

"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)

"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.
