Why? The Refuge was established to provide a safe place for those parrots that, for a number of reasons, have to be re-homed, sometimes through just the unfortunate situations that sometimes arise. Most of them were loved dearly loved and cared for and when that was no longer possible, their companion-person did the most selfless act of kindness in finding them a good home…
Security in Numbers Some of our feathered friends come to the Refuge as an only companion to find a true connection, whether human or bird…
Friendships The Refuge is about gaining friendships between the volunteers who so diligently and lovingly help care for those birds waiting for that forever home, as well as establishing bonds amongst our many fortunate birds that reside here…

Corky - Congo African Grey

Corky African Grey Parrot

Good News!  Corky went home on 08-08-08 to his forever home.  Lots of tears of happiness and some of sadness went with the occasion.  We shall keep you poted on his progress.

Corky has come to the Refuge because his Dad became very ill and had to have a transplant.  It did not take and he is not doing well so Corky's Mom felt that she needed to place Corky with the Refuge so he did not get neglected.

Corky can be quite loving, but generally prefers females.  He is a little shy about stepping up out of his cage, but if you wrap a towel around your arm, he will step up.  Once he is out of the cage, he has no problems stepping up for anyone who is confident about asking him to.

He does have a problem with some feather growth in one wing so he does not fly and needs to be monitored so as not to hurt his wing.

Our Mission is Simple

To work in joint cooperation with all avian rescue groups to try and eliminate the need for rescue groups by educating the public about aviculture issues.  Until that is accomplished, we will provide a sanctuary for those unfortunate parrots that are in need of a home.
