Volunteer
Volunteers are the heart and soul of any non-profit and we are no exception! Our entire staff is made up of dedicated volunteers that donate countless hours and personal funds to keep the entire rescue maintained.
Are you interested in joining us in our mission? We happily accept volunteers every day of the week.

Volunteer requirements and recommendations
Fill out a Volunteer Information Form
This is required for all Volunteers. Please see the form below. These are also available on site.
Sign a Waiver
This is required for all Volunteers. Parrots can be unpredictable and bites happen to even the most experienced bird keepers. It is highly recommended to listen to staff instructions to minimize risk.
"Work" Clothes
We are an outdoor facility. As such, much of our work is outside. Please dress accordingly. Comfortable clothes are highly recommended. Often our work is dirty, so if you would prefer to wear work gloves, we encourage you to bring your own. HOWEVER, gloves are NOT PERMITTED when working up close with the parrots. This is for your safety as well as the birds. Many parrots are fearful of gloves and may become agitated or violent at the presence of them.
Close Toe Shoes
This is a requirement. Our work usually consists of working outside and with animals. To minimize risk, close toe shoes are recommended for volunteer work. Flip Flops and sandals are NOT acceptable attire.
Long Pants
Although not required, it is recommended that you wear long pants.
No Perfume or Cologne
Parrots are sensitive to odors and some of our staff suffer from allergies. Please refrain from wearing any perfume, cologne, body spray or strong smelling anti-perspirant/deodorant while on the premises.
Bring Documentation if Required
If you are volunteering for required hours (community service, senior project, adoption requirements), please be sure to bring any of your required documentation for us to fill out.
