Hello; Welcome to The Lucky Parrot Sanctuary!
We are glad you stopped by. Thank you
for visiting. Parrots
are fantastic, incredible, charming creatures, endowed with strong emotions, and superior intelligence. They are the feathered
equivalents of Chimpanzees and Dolphins. Parrots are also the most demanding and misunderstood of all companion animals. People
don't understand what they are getting themselves into when they first purchase a parrot. The anticipated wonderful experience,
often turns into something very different, and very sad, for both people and parrots; because of normal human events, illness,
death, or something as simple as a new boy friend, a marriage, a new baby, a divorce, a move to a new home, and the poor bird
must go. Sold to the next home, where history repeats itself, until 4 or 5 homes later, we, the sanctuaries, take in some
of these rejected birds. "The Lucky Parrots".
Most sanctuaries are overflowing, and therefore, many of these perfectly healthy parrots can
potentially be destroyed, killed, because there are too few loving homes for them. A better balance must be found between
current levels of parrot over-breeding and the existing, present day over-population of parrots.
