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.

"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.
