Our community outreach is based on a belief that the collective “we” in the avian community are the passport, spirit and the voice to a better future for every captive parrot.
We encourage everyone to exercise their voice in the plight of the captive parrot through our platform of education and awareness.
We use multiple touchpoints to inform followers about parrot guardianship, adoption and standards of care. These touchpoints include the Birds of Paradise website, blogs, social media, sanctuary events and in-person events. Birds of Paradise avian influencers regularly contribute informative think pieces, showcased as blogs, that cover subjects ranging from protecting the captive parrot to how avian flight is informing the new wave of artificial intelligence drone and robot flight.
Birds of Paradise is thinking about protection for captive parrots. As we recently completed two back-to-back emergency rescues of 41 parrots, we started musing about what protection exists if any for the captive parrot, what if there was a “Captive Parrot Bill of Rights”, and how the collective avian community can be the passport, spirit and the voice to a better future for every captive parrot.
Joe is one of dozens of parrots rescued from a life of abuse and neglect in Ohio...
Birds of Paradise has long operated an emergency rescue program for distressed, abandoned and abused parrots. In fact, the sanctuary was founded on just such an event in August of 2011. This story presents a “birds eye” view of the most recent BOPS parrot rescue event, dubbed the “North Port 15”.
In 2014, during a visit to the Yucatán Peninsula in Mexico, an ornithologist came across a new species of parrot with a completely different vocalization and color patterns from other known species. And that alone makes this discovery unusual... and controversial.
Birds. We LOVE them (especially our parrots), but sometimes when wild birds do what wild birds do they pose a danger to aviation, can be massively destructive to food crops and can spread disease from foraging in landfills.
