This is Bucky, a Patagonian Conure, a truly magnificent creature, with a past history of misfortune.
Parrots are the third largest group of domestic companion animals in the United States, and just
like cats and dogs, they become homeless for a variety of reasons.
Many are rescued from abusive situations.
In many cases when people?s lives change, when they marry, or divorce, or have children, or grow
old, or become ill, no thought given to what happens to their companion parrots.
The average length of time that a parrot spends with a family is between five and eight years. Considering
some of the larger parrots can live upwards of 80 years, over time parrots can live in many homes. Some parrots become resentful
of being bounced from home to home and they act up, before long no alternative exists but to kill perfectly healthy parrots
because there is no loving and/or understanding home, or shelter to take them in.
We as a civilized society must assure that these magnificent creatures have a suitable place to
live out their lives. Homelessness should not equate to death.
AMANDA, a Green Wing Macaw, about 27 years old, and is even more beautiful in person. Amanda has a wing span of at least 4
feet. Think about it, no matter how big a cage, it is too small for a creature as magnificent as Amanda. Please
think twice before you buy a creature to keep caged, they deserve better.
Parrots cannot be left alone in a cage without
interaction, with other parrots or humans. Parrots are flock creatures they require companionship, a proper diet, and specialized
medical care.
The mission of Lucky Parrot Sanctuary
is to provide a haven in a natural setting, for homeless, abused, and/or unwanted parrots.
We have a 4 acre site in Southwest Florida.
The Parrots now live and thrive out of doors in this sub-tropical climate.
The various species do not all get along with each other, and for this reason no single structure will suffice
for all the Lucky Parrots.
We maintain
four outdoor full flight aviaries so that the parrots can do what they were born to do, fly.
Our aviaries are large, but no matter how large they are, they should be larger.
Hopefully with your help we can realize our goal to expand these aviaries.
Please, dear reader, if you can, make a contribution.
it will help a parrot that can never have complete freedom, to at least have an opportunity to fly.
Your help can return to these marvelous creatures some of their lost
dignity.
Thank you, from all the Lucky Parrots.
