Who we are:
Miss Vicki’s Parrot Village is a tax-exempt, 501(c)(3), non-profit parrot rescue that is licensed by the Georgia Department of Agriculture. We are located approximately 15 miles south of Atlanta. We rescue, rehabilitate, and re-home parrots of all sizes. We also offer assistance in the form of low-cost and no-cost boarding in the event of documented emergencies, and we provide sanctuary to birds that cannot be safely re-homed.
Our Mission:
Our ultimate goal is to do whatever is necessary to keep the birds with the families that love them. When that is not possible, we do our best to provide both the birds and the adoptive families with the tools necessary to build a loving and lasting bond. Our sanctuary birds become members of our family; everything we do is for the birds.
Our future goals for parrots in need:
We are currently raising money to turn our 1400 square-foot walk-out basement into a parrotopia. Our focus is on developing a strong, secure, self-sustaining, and environmentally responsible rescue and sanctuary, complete with aviaries, play areas, TVs, web-cams, and boarding rooms. This area should be complete by the fall of 2011.
Beyond improving the living conditions of the rescued birds in our care, our future goals include lowering the need for rescue overall by building a network of educated and trained volunteers to serve the parrot community throughout Georgia, Eastern Alabama, and Northern Florida. This includes in-home training, seminars, and a bird club focused on families and their rescued parrots. By educating families as a whole, the next generation will be able to continue the care of the family bird when the primary caregivers are no longer able. This will greatly reduce the need for rescue of the senior birds.
Farther in the future, we would like to build a state-of-the art avian medical facility and invite avian veterinarians, researchers, experts, and trainers from across the world to treat parrots and educate the community about avian wellness, conservation, disease prevention, and enrichment. Each goal, when achieved, will reduce the need for immediate rescue. Education of the community is our proactive approach to keeping the number of homeless parrots to an absolute minimum.
