Rhode Island Parrot Rescue
A home for parrots who need a safe place to land
Rhode Island Parrot Rescue is the only 501(c)3 non-profit rescue in Rhode Island to focus exclusively on rescuing, rehabilitating, and placing exotic birds into qualified homes.
Our Mission
Birds are surrendered for a variety of reasons. Some come from loving homes and were loved enough to be surrendered. Others have been abused, neglected or their owners have become disinterested. We do not judge anyone who contacts us, and we are here to make a positive difference by helping in any way we can.
-
Upon surrender, each bird is medically evaluated and transitioned to a healthy pelleted diet along with fresh vegetables, sprouts, grains, and fruit. Often, medical problems need treatment, which is provided by our avian veterinarian. We closely monitor the health of each bird during their stay with us, and provide enrichment in the form of toys, foraging, and training.
-
Our team of dedicated volunteers spend time observing behaviors, logging, and begin training during quarantine. We consistently see behavioral improvements. We maintain a safe, positive environment that is next to none.
-
Birds that have been rehabilitated are available for placement. We thoroughly screen potential homes with a detailed application, phone interview, a home visit, and require several bonding visits before being approved. Follow-ups are also required.
-
One of our most important jobs is to educate the public about exotic birds. We provide applicants with the education and knowledge needed to assure they provide their new feathered companions the best care, diet, and enrichment!
