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!

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.
Karen Windsor, executive director of Foster Parrots Sanctuary in Rhode Island:
"The enormous volume of unwanted parrots being fielded by the rescue community indicates an epidemic failure of parrots as pets.
We’ve done everything in our power to manipulate parrots and to change them to fit better into our lives. We clip their wings and confine them to cages. We remove them from their families and from their flocks and instead try to fit them into ours. We reject their language and expect them to recite our words. We genetically alter their colors and the contours of their feathers to create designer birds. We render them utterly dependent upon us and then, when we find we cannot entirely eradicate the true nature of the animal, we abandon them."
