Help MAARS Take Flight!

MAARS needs your help to create a new sanctuary that provides space for flight. Your support is vital for giving the birds an environment that can better meet their unique needs than the current location.


Our History

Since  the founding of MAARS in July 1999, almost 1500 unwanted  parrots have  come through our doors. More than 1400 birds have been successfully placed into permanent homes. We’ve consistently grown since then, all thanks to the helping hands of this amazing community!

Our Mission

MAARS’ core function is to care for our flock at our facility, The Landing. Our primary mission is to educate the public, people who already live with parrots, and the veterinary community about the issues that face captive parrots.

Our September featur

Our September featured birds are Puppy & Hailey!

Hailey and Puppy both came to MAARS in 2024 due to significant health issues, each bringing a big personality and even bigger opinions - especially about volunteers and free-flying Goffin’s. They've since found common ground in toy chaos, cockatoo gossip, and hallway patrols. Watching their friendship grow has been as heartwarming as it is entertaining.

Stay tuned for more information about these two!
