Parrotcare and Rehabilitation

Parrotcare is a Welsh based charity but covers the whole of the UK.
While healthy birds are re-homed there are many birds that cannot be re-homed, these are given a home here where they are loved and cared for.
Some for life and some until they are well and happy and ready to go to forever foster homes.
There can be upwards of 100 birds being cared for at any time and this costs a lot of money for food, cages toys and veterinary care.
We rely on donations to help care for these birds.
If you would like to help us help them with a donation we would be very grateful.
Parrotcare is not just a charity, it is a way of life.
I rescued my first Parrot; a wild caught macaw at 15 (I am now a lot older) from a consignment of blue and gold Macaws (4 crammed into a tiny wooden crate) brought in to the pet shop where I worked weekends and school holidays.
Wugger as I later named him/her was thought to be near to death so was to be thrown out, I asked if I could have him, the owner of the shop allowed me to take the limp bird home where I dripped bread and milk into his beak. Slowly he got better and I kept him in my bedroom (suffering many bites) until he chewed the door one day and I had to buy him a cage. He lived with me for many years during which time I took many birds into my home and my heart.
As more and more Parrots were bred or brought into the Country the need to rescue them became greater until the present day where it is not unusual to for me to take in 6 or more birds a week.
As I never turn a bird away this has meant my home is filled with up to a 100 birds at any time.
Of these birds many have been ill treated not always on purpose but by lack of knowledge and understanding of the requirements of Psittacines.
Some come from homes no longer able to keep a beloved bird due to change of circumstances or health problems of their owners.
There are as many reasons as there are parrots, for whatever reason these birds find themselves at my door, they are all afforded the same, Veterinary treatment where needed, good food, warmth and above all love.
