Carman's Parrot & Exotic Bird Rescue

I rehab parrots of all kinds and train them to assist special needs persons. I have the priveledge of working with some of the most wonderful people and learn new things everyday!

Carman's Parrots Exotic Bird Rescue strives to enhance the lives and well-being of surrendered companion birds, through veterinary care, rehabilitation, and the correction of aggressive non-social behavior.
When a bird is suitable to be placed in a responsible, loving, life long home, it is then available for adoption.
Occasionally a bird does not progress to an acceptable physical or socially healthy state to be adopted. Such birds are provided with a life long and loving home at the rescue.

Carman's Parrots Who We Are

All of us in the Carman's Parrots Exotic Bird Rescuestrive to achieve what is best for the life of a companion bird. We diligently focus on making their lives better for them, not ourselves. We are very honest, loving and knowledgeable people. When we get in a pet bird, we focus on their personality and we evaluate them for what their disposition is in certain situations. Some birds come in that have never been handled, and they may take more time to trust the human hand, however, it can be done in most cases. We welcome individuals to stop over to see our facility and to gain knowledge of what we do, in a day, of Animal Rescue. We are all very committed, honest and social individuals that will gladly answer, any of your questions, to the best of our knowledge. Please feel free to give us a call and stop over to see us and our feathered flock.
Our Organization provides sanctuary and cares for all birds that are exotic that are suitable for adoption or placement in foster care or for persons that have specifically requested that their birds remain in permanent sanctuary. All sanctuary birds receive the same high level of care as the birds available for adoption and foster care. Sanctuary birds are housed in species-specific rooms of our main facility and have access to outdoor flights, abundant enrichment, and psychological and environmental support on a daily basis. Our facilities provide:
A safe haven for birds that prefer not to interact with humans in a companion animal situation as well as those that need a new human companion and are available for adoption.
A home for birds with chronic disease with supportive care and nurturance.
Staff dedicated to meet the needs of the individual bird.
Educational programs that focus on some of the sanctuary birds' specific needs or problems, indigenous habitats, conservation status, or social interaction to promote the parrot welfare cause
Nurturing and care for wild birds that are injured or in some specific need of our services so that they may be returned to their natural habitat or sanctuary as quickly as possible.
At our Organization "to rescue" is to bring a bird that is in an acute, life threatening situation or is in immediate need of assistance into a safe environment to be cared for by a knowledgeable and dedicated staff committed to improving the bird's quality of life. If present quarantine is filled and an emergent situation requiring immediate assistance occurs, we have an interstate network of people and veterinarians available to us. Our Organization rescues:
Birds found in deplorable conditions or in danger either by the general public, the foundation itself, or by animal control officers.
Birds owned by owners who, because they were unable to provide a safe environment for the birds, turned the birds over to our Organization.

*** Our new goal is to focus on placing 50% of our tamed exotic birds, strictly with special needs families, who have the desire for a exotic bird, but not the financial capabilities. ***
We hope to continue to aide these families, with education and a network of Avian veterinarians who will offer discounted services fees & services. And a great bird companion for life.
