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.

This is Winston! He has been at MARRS since 2019. He has endured so much trauma and pain that no bird should ever have to experience. He was locked in a cage for 11 years and was never let out. He was a transfer from another rescue who couldn't manage his behavior. Since being with us in our care, he has truly become confident with his choices and flourished into a happy bird! He has become more curious with trying new foods, and his favorite hobby is chewing wood!
