All of Moon's sponsorship needs have been met - with many thanks to Catherine Stansfield!

Moon is a Moluccan cockatoo, who was caught in the wild about 30 to 35 years ago. He has had a home for life at the Refuge for six years now. Moon is a gentle, sweet bird who enjoys spending time with all of his friends in the Special Needs Unit.

"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.
