Parrot rescue · Fate, Texas

A soft landing for parrots who need one.

We take in macaws, cockatoos and other exotic birds from across North Texas, get them healthy and settled, and match each one with a home that is ready for them.

Our work

Three promises to every bird

  1. Rescue

    When an owner passes away, moves, or simply can't cope any more, we give their bird a safe place to go. No judgment, just a way forward.

  2. Rehabilitate

    Good food, a clean and roomy space, patience, and veterinary care when it's needed. Many birds arrive plucked, frightened or under-socialized. They get the time they need.

  3. Rehome

    We get to know each bird and each adopter, then make a match meant to last. Parrots bond deeply, so we want this move to be their last one.

Because every bird matters

The birds

From budgies to blue-and-golds

Macaws and cockatoos are our specialty, and they are the birds most often left without options. But a bird doesn't have to be big to need help.

Large parrots

Macaws, cockatoos, African greys, Amazons and eclectus. Loud, brilliant, long-lived, and the hardest to place.

Small and medium birds

Conures, cockatiels, budgies, lovebirds and the like. Smaller bodies, the same big need for company.

Found an injured wild bird? We aren't licensed for native wildlife. Please contact a Texas wildlife rehabilitator so it gets the right care quickly.

Before you adopt

A parrot is a decades-long companion

Most birds come to us because nobody explained what living with one is really like. We'd rather you hear it from us first.

They may outlive you
Large macaws and cockatoos commonly live 40 to 60 years or more. Adopting one means planning for who cares for them after you.
They are loud
A cockatoo's call carries through walls and down the street. It's communication, not misbehavior, and it doesn't train away.
They need you every day
Parrots are flock animals. Hours of daily time out of the cage, conversation and things to chew are basics, not extras.
They are worth it
A settled parrot is funny, affectionate and endlessly curious. For the right home, there's nothing like it.
