Feathered Friends Sanctuary & Rescue is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization located in Edgerton, Wisconsin. For nearly twenty years, we have been committed to providing a safe haven for homeless parrots living in captivity. This includes proper veterinary care, nutrition, socialization, physical and mental stimulation, clean spacious living areas, and educated adoption guidelines. Our mission is to give these beautiful and intelligent beings a life worth living. We will do whatever needs to be done to ensure that we accomplish this very important goal. Many birds will need our care indefinitely - some for the rest of their lives. We don't profit from placing birds and have no paid staff. Everyone associated with Feathered Friends Sanctuary & Rescue is a devoted volunteer. We function solely on donations and adoption fees. Donations and contributions are always needed and welcome. Every dollar that Feathered Friends Sanctuary & Rescue brings in is used to promote our mission and provide for birds in need.
If you're interested in adopting, the first step is to complete an Adoption Questionnaire. Once your questionnaire is received and reviewed, you can make an appointment to visit the sanctuary and meet our birds. You never know who you may end up falling in love with, or who may end up falling in love with you! When visiting, please keep in mind that our facility is a parrot rescue and sanctuary, not a pet store. All the birds in our flock have a home at the sanctuary until we find the right new home for them. Under no circumstances will you be able to leave with a bird on your first or second visit. At your first appointment, you'll talk with one of our experienced volunteers about what you're looking for in a companion parrot. You'll receive a tour of our facility and meet some birds! Education is crucial to our adoption process and to our mission. Education occurs throughout the adoption process, over the course of multiple visits. The education process covers the same materials, whether you're new to companion parrots, or whether you've lived with birds for decades. We want everyone to leave with the same knowledge, regardless of experience. After you've visited with your chosen bird multiple times, we'll schedule a home visit. One of our volunteers will visit your home and review the appointments and education you've had. Barring any serious problems, you'll be scheduled for an adoption appointment, where you'll sign an adoption contract and take home your new family member!
