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 May featured bir

Our May featured bird of the month is Kai! Since joining MAARS in 2022, Kai has gone from nervous and unsure to a confident flyer with a talent for echoing coughs, destroying toys, and shouting “woo!” at just the right moment. With space to explore and the freedom to make her own choices, she’s learned to navigate the flock on her own terms - and that something fun (or delicious) might be happening around any corner.

Kai is a medium-sized parrot; the cost for her food, medicine, and toys is approximately $40 a month or $480 a year. If you would like to contribute to her health and well-being, please click. Thank you!
