About Us

Our standards of care can be found on the animal page 

Unfortunately we do not accept or adopt animals.

It is strictly against our policies and philosophy to bring out animals to our programs that would be stressed out by the experience. This would be an abusive and unethical practice.

It is equally important to understand that for many animals in our care it would be abusive and unethical to deny them human interaction. The mental and physical health of hyper-social animals like parrots, especially parrots that were raised by and with humans, depends on regular and positive experience with people. The animals in our care are pets, they are used to and positively crave human interaction.

We are not a pet store and we do not sell any animals to the public, nor are we even allowed to. 

Our animals are extremely safe. We carefully consider the temperament and behavior of each animal to determine whether it can go out in public at all. If an animal is deemed safe enough to do public programs then careful consideration goes into how long the animal can be out, how much interaction and what kind of human interaction is appropriate if any, and what rules must be in place to do the interaction safely.

That said, no animal related activities can be 100% safe. It is impossible to completely eliminate risk of allergic reactions or injury but we can get very close. Our animal programs are much safer than most other programs and activities such as sports games and school athletics.

All of the animals can and probably will poop. Our birds mostly stay on perches when they are not passed around and those perches are over drop-cloths that we put down and the birds do most of the pooping. So we take most of the mess with us but the occasional poop on a participant or the floor will happen. Its all part of the experience!

Let us know if one of the participants has a particular phobia and we will save that animal for last or not bring it out at all.

All of our animals undergo fecal tests and visits from the veterinarian to ensure their health. Vaccination records are also provided if your administration requires them.
