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.

If you want to Virtually Adopt Alberta or contribute to her 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:

• Click on the 'Donate Now' button below to make a secure one-time or monthly credit card payment with CanadaHelps.org, the national non-profit organization that collects donations on behalf of Canada's registered charities. This very safe method is our preferred choice as it reduces overheads and helps us focus our efforts on caring for the parrots.

  

• Click on the 'PayPal Donate' button below to make a secure online donation with your credit card or bank account at PayPal.com.

  
• To pay by cheque, make your cheque payable to F.L.O.P.R.S. and send to F.L.O.P.R.S. (For the Love Of Parrots Refuge Society), Box 645, Alberni Highway, Coombs BC, V0R 1M0

"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.
