We want to help the senior members of our community keep their birds as long as it works for both of them. Sometimes they need our help with veterinary, cage cleaning, upgrades to avoid dangerous metal toxicity, or food. We would like to help.
When you are facing a family crisis with your parrot, it is difficult to continue to provide them the high quality fresh food and pellets they are accustomed to. We want to help you maintain your parrot with the FPB opportunity.
If you need to have your bird(s) fostered due to life-changing events such as military deployment, divorce, loss of home, illness, or college? We want to help you and your bird(s) stay together until such time as you can reunite your family. It will be stressful for you and your bird(s) but we will be here to help you both get through it. Space is limited. Let’s discuss how we can help.
We love to share information on parrots in captivity and how to take care of them using the latest information, tools, and guidance. If you would like us to come to speak to your group or class submit a services request.
Experiencing the death, forced separation, or a missing beloved companion animal, can be an incredibly challenging and devastating experience. Our aim is to create a support group that offers a safe and supportive space for those who are grieving, without any judgemental, critical, or diminishing responses. Our role is to listen, share, and provide comfort, as we understand the pain of losing a loved one. Please note that while we are not psychologists, we are here as friends to offer our support. Join us on our Zoom call on the 15th of every month at 7 pm EST by RSVPing via Services@Papayagorescuehouse.org
