Rickie’s Parrot Rescue and Sanctuary of South Florida, Inc. is a 501c3 non-profit rescue organization formed in the State of Florida in 2017.
Their mission is to take in parrots and birds that have been abused, neglected or who are simply losing their homes. They do not judge and know that sometimes life changes force you to give up the pets that you love.
Their mission also includes education. Owning a parrot is NOT easy. They are not like dogs. However, with the proper upbringing, knowledge and commitment, they can be loving, wonderful companions. Too many people think owning a parrot is “cool” without really doing the research. Please do the research before you decide you want to bring in these highly intelligent toddlers. They are wonderful and amazing…but they are as demanding as as a two your old child..and can throw temper tantrums like one too! So, please do your research before bringing a parrot into your home. It will require some changes in your every day living and when they are given up…they mourn as much as their owners.
