Friends Of Feathers Bird Rescue And Sanctuary

The Goals Of Friends Of Feathers Bird Rescue Are The Following:

1. To rescue languishing, abused or unwanted parrots from abusive or neglectful situations.
2. To act as a placement service for all birds whose guardians have had to
    give up their bird(s) in urgent or emergency situations or for whatever reason.
3. To serve as an educational resource and advice service for:
    a. Prospective bird guardians.
    b. Current bird guardians.
    c. Schools, as an educational resource on the care and responsibilities of sharing your life with
        any animal as a pet.
4. To serve as a permanent sanctuary for birds not suitable for adoption.

5. To protect all parrots, in captivity and in the wild.

Further,

• We do not breed or place birds with people who breed.
• We do not sell, trade or use birds in our care for commerce or profit.
• We promote responsible guardianship of all captive birds.
• We promote education on all issues of avian welfare.
• We oppose the sale of unweaned baby birds and production breeding methods.
• We oppose the mass-marketing and selling of birds through pet store chains, bird marts and internet venues.
• We maintain that all captive breeding contributes to the displacement and suffering of captive birds and, with very few exceptions, does not contribute to the viable preservation of the species.
• We do not condone, endorse or promote the breeding of birds for life in captivity.
• We strongly oppose legal/illegal exportation/importation of parrots and encourage all countries to adopt legislation, enforcement and conservation policies to prevent wild birds from entering captivity.
