Our History

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.

Happy Valentines day from our flock to yours! It’s never too late for love 💘 Puppy (29) and Hailey (50+) are both survivors of neglect and abuse, with decades of instability behind them. They met several years ago at another rescue and showed little interest in each other. Then they came to MAARS… and everything changed. Two birds who never knew safety are now choosing companionship. A Valentine’s story about healing, trust, and second chances. 🦜❤️ #MAARS #Parrots #Sanctuary #Cockatoos #Nonprofit ... See MoreSee Less
