For the last few years parrot rescues and and sanctuaries across the country have seen a dramatic increase in the number of foundling birds, with the largest and most unmanageable number being little birds. Foundlings are birds who have been let outside with no one looking for them.
At MAARS’ sanctuary, The Landing, almost our entire flight room of little birds is comprised of these foundlings. Small parrots are sold cheaply at pet stores and are often bought impulsively without considering the 15-30+ year commitment. There is misinformation about small parrots being less work, quieter, or less destructive, which is untrue. They require the same care, attention, and financial commitment as large parrots. #MAARS www.maars.org/support-budgies/ ... See MoreSee Less
