Macaw and Parrot Rescue
Please note that at present time, I am not a 501C3 Organization. Regardless, I have provided sanctuary and a forever home to parrots in need. I have a particular fondness for macaws. They can be the hardest birds for shelters to place due to their size, space requirements, and other challenges that they posses. I promote parrot rescue and parrot shelter support on a daily basis. Through my company's efforts, I have also made financial contributions to help support birds in need at other ethical shelters. I have loaned my expertise to other shelter operators to help them promote their facilities. I have also assisted owners to help them find placement for their birds.
Please note that your bird did not ask to be displaced from his home. I advise all parrot owners that want to surrender thier birds that it is in the best intrest of your bird to surrender your bird, its cage, and its toys together. You want to minimize the stress that you are placing on your bird during this transition. Do not have the impression that you can dump your bird and sell the cage without having further negative effects on your bird.
Please note that I am temporarrilly not accepting macaws but I may be able to help you with placement. We are interested in other small parrots. If you have a bird that you are interested in surrendering, contact me directly at
(847)204-8932.

Moe's Story
Moe is our oldest bird. At 16, he is still a youngster for a blue and gold macaw. He is massive and may be of Bolivian foundation stock. He lived in several other homes prior to comming to us. Although he was loved by his previous owner, conflict existed between Moe and the older kids. Moe was a junkfood junkie. He lived near the kitchen and screamed regularly, every time a cabinet opened, begging for junkfood. I later learned that he also screamed for french fries from fast food joints. Although he was fed a good pellet, the rest of his diet was not overly nutritional.
Moe had an old Prevue 128 Parrot Cage. He broke all locks and latches and was kept in with twisted coat hangers. He had a piece of PVC pipe for a single perch. His cage had stalagmite like piles of poop on it. Fortunately for Moe, I happened to have an available PH 3155 in the box in my garage. We moved him into a huge macaw cage with plenty of room and multiple perches. We give him lots of wood to chew up and destroy.
Moe has become best friends with our scarlet macaw, Sunny. In fact, he is very protective of Sunny and gets kind of crazy around him! Moe is featured in the KeyLime Cove Water Park and Resort Television Commercial. Look for Captain Jack in the beginning of the commercial and you will see Moe with him! How about that! Rescue bird to TV Commercial Actor!
Cobalt's Story
Cobalt is a Blue Fronted Amazon Parrot. He was 4 years old when we rescued him. Cobalt originally was part of a petting zoo, then he wound up with a family in Sturgis, Michigan. His last owners got too busy breeding macaws and dogs and decided that he had to go. Needless to say, they just had way too much breeding going on to give him much attention. Cobalt has a bald spot on top of his head and at one time, got a torn cere. He is also missing a few toe nails.Have you ever heard the saying, "I'd drive through a snow storm to help", well, that is exactly what we did. I loaded up the family and we headed out to South Bend, Indiana to pick him up..... in the middle of a snow storm. After we got him in our possession, we stopped at a Denny's for some food. The manager gladly aloud us to bring him in. Within just a few days of bringing him home, Cobalt attached himself to my daughter Annie. They are real friends and she spoils him rotten. I intended to add a good talking Amazon to my education programs, instead, my daughter got a lifelong companion.
OJ's Story
OJ is a 16 year old Citron Crested Cockatoo, from the Island of Samba. Citrons are currently on the critical endangered species list. It is estimated that 7 out of every 10 birds that were exported, died in transit. OJ has lived in several homes and is particularly bonded with me. He distrusts everyone else. OJ's last owner kept him in a cockatiel sized cage and gave him no toys to play with. As a result, he became a feather picker. I load his cage with lots of stuff to play with and we give him foraging opportunities to keep him stimulated. OJ is a talker. Gimme a kiss and Gnite bird are regular comments from him. He is a natural ham! With no formal training, OJ has become the official greeter as children enter for our school programs. He dances and shows off and quickly steals their hearts. OJ helps me teach what "Endangered" means to thousands of school children annually.
Thank you to Julie Kelly, OJ's temporary foster mom. Julie boards parrots in Crystal Lake, Illinois and also helps to find homes for unwanted birds. Julie placed OJ with me. I will have information on Julie on my links page.
Our rescue birds live very active lifes as avian ambassadors. We make a difference in their lives and in return, our birds touch the hearts of thousands of people and serve as ambassadors for other birds in shelter programs. Surrendering your bird to us will make a difference.
