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.

"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.
