Parrot Outreach Society is a 501c3 non-profit organization whose sole concern is the welfare of parrots in captivity and the wild. We are comprised of a group of dedicated volunteers who are also parrot families. Our purpose is to assist parrots in need of a new home to transition smoothly. When owners can no longer keep their companion parrots we take them in, provide medical help if needed, re-train problem behaviors through positive re-enforcement techniques and provide love and environmental enrichment. Our parrots are provided with appropriate housing, nutritional diet comprised of pellet, fresh fruits and vegetables, birdie bread and other treats. They are given toys and enrichment opportunities enhanced with foraging oppportunities as well. Out of cage time on humans and playstands is provided daily.
We also promote conservation in the wild through educational opportunities in the community. Our volunteers make themselves available to the public to provide support and direction to prevent relinquishment due to behavioral issues. We also assist families in need of temporary food assistance or fostering short term. We network with other rescues/shelters, local Vets and Animal Control. We are licensed and inspected by FFWC.
We are PETCO partners. We also attend local animal welfare/adoption events throughout the year. Our organization runs solely on donations, grants and adoption fees. All monies earned are used for the care of our charges and to promote the rescue and education. We have no paid employees, no waiting list and each bird is comes through us where it is well known by our volunteers and gets daily interaction.
