Our Mission Statement
Since 1999, “Birdman”
has been placing exotic birds for free to the special needs individuals
in our community. We are a bird welfare organization provides for the
complete physical, psychological and environmental well being of the
birds in the organization’s care. Through the education of the public,
proper legal documentation, extensive support services, and constant
follow-up procedures, a bird welfare organization insures that whether
the birds remain in a sanctuary, in rehabilitation, are placed into
adoptive or foster homes, or released back to their natural habitat,
that the birds are continually nurtured. Our bird welfare organization
also provides for the general welfare of birds in the public domain
by providing accurate, comprehensive and reliable educational materials
and resources to the public.
Our Organization provides
sanctuary and cares for all birds that are exotic that
are suitable for adoption or placement in foster care or for persons
that have specifically requested that their birds remain in permanent
sanctuary. All sanctuary birds receive the same high level of care as
the birds available for adoption and foster care. Sanctuary birds are
housed in species-specific rooms of our main facility and have access
to outdoor flights, abundant enrichment, and psychological and environmental
support on a daily basis. Our facilities provide:
- A safe haven
for birds that prefer not to interact with humans in a companion animal
situation as well as those that need a new human companion and are available
for adoption.
- A home for
birds with chronic disease with supportive care and nurturance.
- Staff dedicated
to meet the needs of the individual bird.
- Educational
programs that focus on some of the sanctuary birds' specific needs or
problems, indigenous habitats, conservation status, or social interaction
to promote the parrot welfare cause
- Nurturing
and care for wild birds that are injured or in some specific need of
our services so that they may be returned to their natural habitat or
sanctuary as quickly as possible.
At our Organization "to rescue" is to bring a bird that is in an acute, life threatening
situation or is in immediate need of assistance into a safe environment
to be cared for by a knowledgeable and dedicated staff committed to
improving the bird's quality of life. If present quarantine is filled
and an emergent situation requiring immediate assistance occurs,
we have an interstate network of people and veterinarians available
to us. Our Organization rescues:
- Birds found
in deplorable conditions or in danger either by the general public,
the foundation itself, or by animal control officers.
- Birds owned
by owners who, because they were unable to provide a safe environment
for the birds, turned the birds over to our Organization.
*** Our new goal is to focus on placing tamed exotic birds, strictly
with special needs families, who have the desire for a exotic bird,
but not the financial capabilities. ***
We hope to continue
to aide these families, with education and a network of Avian veterinarians
who will offer discounted services fees & services. And a great
bird companion for life.
