MAARS is the oldest avian rescue organization in the Midwest
providing sanctuary, rehabilitation, education and behavioral consultations for
our avian friends and their guardians. The , , and other of MAARS have
extensive experience working with exotic captive parrots of many species. We are a no-kill, non-profit organization funded solely
through
.
MAARS’ primary function is to care for the MAARS flock at
our shelter, The Landing. On any given day, approximately 90 birds call The
Landing home. MAARS' core mission is to educate the
public and people who already live with birds about proper bird care. We feel
that education about bird care and behavior helps people
to provide the best homes possible for the birds already in captivity.
Additionally, MAARS advocates and partners with other organizations working to
protect parrots in the wild and their habitats.
Why
We Do It
(click to read more)
MAARS was created in response to captive parrots whose needs
are not being met: Those who will lose their homes because their loving human
caretakers become ill, start a human family, move, or experience another life
change. Those who are bought to serve only as living room decorations, status
symbols, or business mascots. Those who will be "replaced" by a more hand-able
baby when their adult instincts start showing. Those who
are born with or develop physical or mental health problems in captivity. Those
who will overwhelm a bird breeder or
collector with their numbers. Those who
will be sentenced to languishing in small cages, never again to feel the sun
polish their feathers, or know the exhilaration of flight, or hear a loving
voice. Those whose hearts will ache with loneliness and
whose minds will be tormented by boredom and confinement.
Since the founding of MAARS in July 1999, almost 1500 unwanted
parrots have come through our doors. More than 1400 birds have been successfully
placed into permanent homes. MAARS is currently a sanctuary only facility and
due to space and resource limitations, closed to new intakes.
Although these numbers may seem high, they represent only one tree in an
entire forest of unwanted and unplaceable captive parrots and other birds. The
need for programs like MAARS is growing rapidly. The birds desperately need us
and your help!
