Arcadia Bird Sanctuary & Education Center
Welcome to The Arcadia Bird Sanctuary. A 501(c)3 non-profit avian rescue.
OUR MISSION
Arcadia Bird Sanctuary and Educational Center is a shelter and we house all our birds on premises. We do not foster out our birds, but we are a sanctuary, offering a permanent home for companion birds that are no longer suitable to be pets. Many of our residents have been abused or neglected. Some are elderly and deserve a ‘forever’ home. Some will be adopted to the perfect family. We never make a determination on any bird until we know that bird well.
All our parrots are vet checked every six months and are also micro-chipped. Some birds will be with us for many months and many for years.
Knowledge is power and the more people know about parrots, the better off birds will be. People need information in order to make intelligent choices: about what kind of bird to choose, about how to keep the bird and how to treat the bird.
Arcadia Bird Sanctuary and Educational Center conducts presentations and seminars to teach people about parrots. We believe there never can be too much information or too small an audience.
