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.
Every year, more parrots are bred into a world where thousands are already unwanted. They sit in cages. They are passed from home to home. They are surrendered when they become too loud, too messy, too expensive, too much.
And still, we create more.
Not because parrots need us too; because we want them.
Maybe it's time to stop asking:
"How beautiful is this bird?"
And start asking:
"What will this bird's life look like in 10, 20, or 50 years?"
A beautiful bird is not a justification for a lifetime of captivity. A rare mutation is not a justification for creating more lives while rescues and sanctuaries struggle to care for the ones already here.
If you've watched this entire video, thank you.
The easiest thing to do is scroll past. The harder thing is to confront a reality that makes us uncomfortable.
Parrots don't need more admirers. They need more advocates.
