Providing life-changing care and environment for special needs avian species in Minnesota.
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!
Read MoreOur amazing team of regulars and part-time volunteers are committed to helping all captive parrots. We take our convictions and turn them into action. Think you would be a good fit? Get in touch for more information!
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.

Apricot used to struggle when he first arrived. He would often leap onto volunteers’ heads because he wasn’t sure what was safe or how to ask for comfort. But once he settled in, he learned that MAARS is a safe place and that he has choices. He’s come such a long way. And like all of us, he still has tough days sometimes, but we never fault him for that! #MAARS #Parrots #Sanctuary #Cockatoos #Nonprofit ... See MoreSee Less

TODAY! Find Out How You Can Shut Down Bird Mills! March 18 at 2:00 PM EDT-1:00PM CST. I
In 2025, World Animal Protection conducted a first-of-its-kind undercover investigation at three bird mills that supply parrots to pet stores across the country.
We found filthy, crowded cages, dead baby birds, and birds suffocated to death. This is the reality for parrots in the pet industry. Hundreds of thousands of parrots are bred in mills and shipped to pet stores across the US every year.
Register for a zoom presentation on “Where Birds in Pet Stores Come From: Exposing the Horrific Reality of Bird Mills” on March 18 at 2:00 PM EDT-1:00PM CST. If you can’t join us on March 18, all registrants will receive a recording of the webinar. 👉 Save your spot — register today: bit.ly/4b7mqJ6
