WELCOME!
Our Mission Statement
At Florida Exotic Bird Sanctuary we are committed to providing care and love, time, devotion and a lifelong natural habitat for unwanted, abused, neglected and non-saleable parrots or for parrots that the owners are merely looking for a permenant solution for their bird, in order to have the peace of mind that their bird will not end up be moved around from home to home.
Our one and only purpose is that of a rescue organization.
Florida Exotic Bird Sanctuary, Inc . is a non profit organization 501 (c) (3) organization that is a unique haven for parrots. Unlike some aviaries, Florida Exotic Bird Sanctuary, Inc. will not be using these rescued birds for research, sale or adoption. Rather than a life of abuse, neglect or unknown future, these birds will be provided for in a optimal habitat for the rest of their lives.
Florida Exotic Bird Sanctuary, Inc. was established as a non profit in 2003 (501 (c) (3) exemption status) although we begun taking in unwanted parrots and personally funding their care for the last 15 years. We have been trained in Avian care by some of Florida's most prominent Avian Veterinarians and have countless hours of " hands on training" and experience in the Avian Veterinarian office. We take care of all the birds needs (ie nail trims, ect...) here on premise or have our Avian Vet come to us for anything more advanced.
Through the efforts of its staff, board members and the generous donation of various company's and individuals we have been able to erect a 750 sq ft 25' high "Macaw Parrot-ize" that currently houses rescued Parrots who are free to eat , fly and chew, bath in misters several times daily and interact with each other, living out their lives in a natural, healthy environment. We have just completed the 10x20 flight that some of the smaller birds can interact with one another. There is a great deal of expansion going on at FEBS this summer so updating and new pictures and the Newsletter is a bit slow but come the fall you will be able to see anothe great environment for these beautiful birds that are adjusting nicely to their new found home at The Sanctuary.
All the birds that have been placed with Florida Exotic Bird Sanctuary have come for various reasons including biting, screaming too loudly to be kept indoors, sexual frustration, feather picking, aggression and sometimes simply because owners really find that to make the sacrifice to have their birds cared for in a Sanctuary type environment opposed to selling their bird and not knowing their fate is in their birds best interest. We have found that this natural environment, flight, fresh air and sunshine that is abundant here in Florida, combined with lots of love and attention and the proper diet has been instumental in rehabilitating and/or lessening the stress of leaving their previous homes and is key in making the change over to "real interactive bird life" an easy, smooth transition. We have not experienced ANY bird that did not totally enjoy this newly found freedom!
Our goal in the next five years is to be able to erect more large aviaries and provide a permanent solution for med and small species of parrots, while maintaining the care and upkeep of the birds already living at the Sanctuary. Your help would be essencial in meeting that goal.
