Hello! I was wondering if you have any parrot or other bird rescues you would recommend supporting and/or adopting from in the United States? I’ve worked with rehabilitating wild birds before, but I’m a little overwhelmed trying to discern some reputable organizations for those kept as pets. Thank you for your time, and best of luck on your schoolwork and the rest!

hey, thanks so much! i do have some recommendations. there’s a few bad eggs you have to watch for that are really just people trying to fundraise to keep a flock of their own, but there’s a lot of good, dedicated people. not all are from personal experience, but I have heard great things about all of these places:

marden’s ark

companion parrots re-homed

the oasis

zazu’s house

best friends animal society

when i visited nyc there was a flock of pigeons i was feeding and i went inside a store for One Minute and my cousin yelled “QUICK! THE QUEEN PIGEON!” as i was coming out and i sprinted over because i wanted to see her majesty (apparently, she was a pure white and very large pigeon). when i got there she was gone. anyway nyc cheated me out of the queen pigeon experience and i will not forgive the entire state of new york for wronging me
