Melbourne Avian Rescue Sanctuary (M.A.R.S.) is a Florida Parrot Rescue non-profit dedicated to the rescue, rehabilitation, care and adoption of exotic birds.
(74)

Adopt a parrot and support our cause with a donation! MARS is located in Melbourne Beach Florida in a 1925 house within a tropical seaside community. We provide boarding, and do wings, nails and beak grooming. We have a program called Birdy Boot Camp, which provides for troubled birds to stay for a month of rehab. We are a complete adoption center but now due to liability and Covid, pre qualification is now a requirement for adoption. It is a simple but necessary process. Thank you for reading.

More from yesterday’s bath day.. keep in mind these are not edited photos. Their colors are just amazing naturally.

What was I thinking….lCannot take out one Macaw for a bath, (boarder Stormy), without the others protesting in earnest. Result, all the Macaws got their bath time and lots of sun-time today TOO!
Stormy before during and after, did beak wings and nails as well.
He was so happy to see his mom.

We always say TWO birds are better off than ONE alone. At the request of the owner who is surrendering we ask that these TWO stay together. They are not here at MARS yet. Soon to be picked up, possibly schedule in for next week.
Wanted to share their pics to generate some adoption interest.
So if interested in adoption you must fill out some paperwork, get pre approved for adoption so we can see your space and place for them. Once approved we pick a day together for you get to come and meet them here at MARS.

Meet Mac, Scarlett Macaw. After receiving just a little over a year of rehab here at MARS is NOW ready for adoption.
MAC is a SPECIAL NEEDS BIRD. Mac has limited physical capacity, but mentally Mac is as smart and happy as any other Macaw. We all here at MARS actually witness Macs frustration at his limited abilities but we also see how he continually tries to overcome them. We then, happily, get to see his pure joy when he presses through his disabilities.
He loves his outside days, and getting his BATHS, are ABSOLUTELY over the top pure JOY to him.
It will take a special person or family to care for Mac. His inside cage set up requirements can be easily adapted to suit his special needs. His outside needs space can be set up just as easily. MARS WILL GUIDE YOU THROUGH IT.
Please consider adoption of Mac and providing him with that very special life.
Mac NEEDS and whole heartily deserves love, care and patience, thus allowing for him to live with much continued joy and happiness.
Thank you for reading.

QUESTION of the day… was something g trying to get in or gnawing its way out when the screen door was closed. Never ever dull in rescue.

FIVE TRIES……What it takes to get a video. SO CUTE 🥰

07/09/2024

Come on people…. What is this bird trying to tell us with this sound? pretty darn funny no mater what the communication is meant to be.

07/09/2024

Remember this beak we worked on not that long ago.. need to get with the owner for an update on how this little girl is doing..
Just had a picture sent to me of an Amazon with a scissor beak not as bad but bad none the less.

So just when you think you have timed everything just right, YOU DON’t!!!
Knew the rain was approaching, they had their outside time and treats and I knew it was approaching from the west but BAM!from the South it came, and then from the East. Heck it was coming from all directions hahahah.
SO why not , I just let them get a real rain bath. In and out of the aviaries they went choosing just how much they wanted and they all loved it.

Having a little Sunday morning fun time. Exploring how to combine videos and add music ( this song is entitled Spring Rain). Not sure if I like the (comic book) I chose but it’s fun learning none the less.

Caption please….beautiful day for a birdy beach outing.

06/28/2024

Mango at his new home, clearly enjoying the aviary Jesse built. AWESOME to see THIS…

06/26/2024

Well today we finally got to weigh a certain girl bird…She was so funny and so cooperative.
Upon research it said typical Congo greys weigh around 400g. But the more you read on the less clear that fact is. I can absolutely say though she needs a birdy version of weight watchers for certain…I have been exercising her which is also funny.

06/25/2024

Trying to convince owner of this bird that her coloring will improve from very pale grey to vivid grey by getting her outside in the real sun. Been doing so while she is boarding here at MARS but the “Bat Bird”here enjoys the sun on her chest over her back….

06/25/2024

Another one to caption…Mango….need to work on that beak just seeing that.

06/25/2024

Sapphire and Bella doing well in their new home. These were pics from our aviaries, such good photos had to share again..
Their new aviaries are just awesome. 👏 Thank you to the new adopters for providing such a happy place.

CAPTION TIME…… good Sunday morning to everyone.
April captured this photo yesterday and it so deserves some good captions…..

06/17/2024

How can I title this anything but “CHOP CHOP”. ❤️💕💕
Hahah if you have a title for this pic please share with MARS.🥰

06/17/2024

Lost bird was found by a Good Samaritan ( safe as you can see till the owner can be found) yesterday at wall-mart on Palm Bay road. Please share and post and let’s get this little one home….

06/16/2024

Mango Mobrella cockatoo almost adopted. He is at his new place and acclimating to his new spaces. I personally think they are awesome and very safe spaces, totally built for the birds enjoyment and enrichments. Multiple aviary stations to choose from.
He seems to be in love with his new adopters and they with him….

Better Lowell video It’s my old phone that’s the culprit …. Good to go vial my I pad .

Rosie recent boarder here at MARS getting her bath day before going home. Birdy spa day all the way….thanks Dawn for the video.

Here is a video of Sidney captured by Dawn..the ringing sound in the background is Angel (Moluccan) ringing for a bath too. Yes he got one.

Lowell (boarder here at MARS) getting his bath. He totally loved it. Happy 🦜 Lowell is. He makes all of us happy too. Lynn you have a great Amazon.

Sidney and Loka. A strange pair, as in, they preen and preen each other and then have a birdy argument. Eyes on when they decide to be together is the rule of the day.

Sweet sweet Crystal getting some bath time and sunshine time. Crystal is boarding here at MARS. Thank you Dawn for taking this video…

Loka and Sidney

Just having fun with reels… adopt don’t shop.

Yes 👏 and you know he could go on forever.

Angel in the morning, Angel in the evening, Angel at any time …MOST Extraordinary bird all the time. So appreciative of all we try and do for him. Unless we can get his diabetes regulated naturally, he will have to be Insulin dependent. For now, Diet and additives , lots of exercise, we are trying very hard with and for him. He is to special to be euthanized. Hope you like this mini video.
