Athena, the Blue and Gold Macaw

Athena is now fully sponsored by a very special family who wish to remain anonymous. Thank you so much for your generosity!

Athena, the Blue and Gold Macaw came to the sanctuary 7 years ago. Her caregiver was going through a very traumatic time in life and felt that she could not provide Athena with the time and love that she deserved. She is a very sweet macaw.

Coco, the Severe Macaw

Coco is a very sweet macaw who is so happy that the Humane Society decided to give him the freedom he loves. Coco has already made friends with an Amazon parrot who arrived the day after he did. They sit together and tell stories about their very colourful lives. Life is so much more fun in a free flight sanctuary where parrots have freedom and friends.

If you want to Virtually Adopt Coco or contribute to his care, you may do so in a few ways. A full virtual adoption is $500 per year or $42 per month, but any amount is very welcome:

Alberta, the Green-Winged Macaw

Alberta is a Greenwinged Macaw. This beautiful girl has lived at the sanctuary for more than 7 years. She arrived here wearing the same outfit that she shows off today. Feathers are just not her thing. Alberta believes that if you have it then you should flaunt it - and she does. Alberta loves Wendy and only Wendy, and makes sure that everyone else knows that. She sits with many parrots and talks to them - but her heart belongs to Wendy.

Alberta is one of the huge number of parrots here at the sanctuary who has never had a Virtual parent. She may not sit on your arm if you come to visit her - but she will pose for photos as you can see.

This special guy is now fully sponsored, thanks to the generosity of Andrew Elliott. Thank you, Andrew! Thanks for his new name!

My Name is Elliott!

Elliott was caught in the wild and survived the horrific trip from Seram to Canada. His reward was to be put into a breeding situation with a female he did not even know. After decades of unhappiness he was brought here, terrified and very sick. He suffered further for several weeks while we treated him with medications to help him regain his health and strength.

He now has freedom and lots of friends of his own choosing.

Mr Beaky is now partially sponsored thanks to the generosity of Sheila Cantwell - thank you so much!

Hey Folks! Nice to meet you! I'm Mr Beaky. In case you've never seen such a good-looking guy like me before, I'm a Bare-Eyed Cockatoo.

I've come a long way from the old days, when I was moving from home to home and cage to cage! I really got lucky and ended up at the Refuge. That's all thanks to my last human flock - she was a great lady who gave me lots of freedom. She was so good to me! She really understood what I needed - lots of space and friends to have fun with! She realized she couldn't give me that at her place so she brought me here.

I'm a crazy, fun-loving guy. I like to stick my beak into everything. I also like to roll around on the ground. It's fun! Wheeee!

Oops, yeah, so I have lots of fun these days with my new flock. It would be great if someone would be a pal and help by Virtually Adopting me. Then there'll be no worries about my care and all my bills will be paid at my new place. I can focus on doing what I like doing the best! Having fun!

I hope you come visit me sometime!

See you all later!

"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.
