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.
Part 1.
Parrots see the world differently than we do!
Because their eyes sit on the sides of their heads, parrots have an incredibly wide field of vision, helping them spot movement, navigate complex environments, and stay safe in the wild. They can even use each eye independently, taking in different information at the same time. This remarkable vision evolved for survival, communication, and life in a flock. Thats another reminder that parrots are beautifully adapted to the wild, not our living rooms. Understanding how they experience the world helps us better meet their needs in captivity with patience, choice, and compassion. #MAARS #parrots #sanctuary #cockatoos #nonprofit
Happy 27th Anniversary, MAARS!
Today we celebrate 27 years of providing a safe haven for parrots in need. Since our incorporation on July 7, 1999, we've overcome challenges, celebrated milestones, and remained committed to giving every bird the highest quality of care.
None of this would have been possible without our incredible volunteers, donors, members, and supporters. Your compassion, generosity, and belief in our mission have made every rescue, every renovation, and every success possible. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for being part of the MAARS family.
As we celebrate this milestone, we're also looking ahead with excitement. We can't wait to see what the future holds as we work toward building a new sanctuary designed specifically for the needs of our flock—a forever home where parrots can truly thrive.
Thank you for helping us make the past 27 years possible. Here's to the next chapter!

For 24 years, Sam has been part of the MAARS family, teaching us lessons that no book ever could. His resilience, strength, and ability to adapt through life's challenges have inspired everyone who has had the privilege of knowing him. Through every chapter of his journey, Sam has shown us the incredible spirit parrots possess and why they deserve our respect, compassion, and protection.
We are endlessly grateful for the joy, wisdom, and connection Sam has brought to our flock over the years. Thank you, Sam, for trusting us, teaching us, and reminding us every day what perseverance looks like. We are so lucky to have you as part of our flock.
