Our incredible supporters at West Coast Tropical Bird Studio, Vicki and Eric Ballard, have come through for the parrots of the World Parrot Refuge again! They have donated three fabulous prizes for a raffle to raise funds for the care of the WPR parrots! The raffle will be drawn at West Coast Tropical Bird Studio in Vancouver on December 22, 2009, at noon. Email or phone West Coast Tropical Bird Studio, or contact Wendy Huntbatch for tickets. Please lend your support to the raffle, and perhaps buy some tickets for your parrot-loving friends! The parrots say "Thank you!" and so do we!

Birds who are now partly sponsored, thank you!

"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.
