Rhode Island Parrot Rescue
A home for parrots who need a safe place to land
Rhode Island Parrot Rescue is the only 501(c)3 non-profit rescue in Rhode Island to focus exclusively on rescuing, rehabilitating, and placing exotic birds into qualified homes.
Birds are surrendered for a variety of reasons. Some come from loving homes and were loved enough to be surrendered. Others have been abused, neglected or their owners have become disinterested. We do not judge anyone who contacts us, and we are here to make a positive difference by helping in any way we can.
Rhode Island Parrot Rescue is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization. Your donation is tax deductible as allowed by law. RIPR is funded primarily by private donations and receives no government funding.
Our Mission
RESCUE
Upon surrender, each bird is medically evaluated and encouraged to eat a healthy pellet diet along with fresh fruit and vegetables. Often, medical problems need treatment, which is provided by our avian veterinarian. We closely monitor the health of each bird during their stay with us, and provide enrichment in the form of toys, foraging, and training.
Rehabilitate
Our team of dedicated volunteers spend time observing behaviors, and begin training immediately upon intake. We consistently see behavioral improvements. We maintain a safe, positive environment that is next to none.
ADOPT
Birds that have been rehabilitated are available for adoption. We thoroughly screen potential adoptive homes with a detailed application, phone interview, a home visit, and require several bonding visits before being approved to adopt. Follow-ups are also required.
educate
One of our most important jobs is to educate the public about exotic birds. We provide all adoption applicants with the education and knowledge needed to assure they provide their new feathered companions the best care, diet, and enrichment!
