CWA (Central Wyoming Aviary) is a 501 (c) (3) non-profit parrot rescue located in Riverton, WY. For over 10 years, CWA has operated as a foster-based rescue but we recently got our very own facility! We pride ourselves in educating others on the complicated needs of these complex creatures. Our mission is to educate as many as possible so re-homing and the over breeding of these precious souls wil

l STOP. Once a bird is in rescue, we quarantine and evaluate. After several weeks and a vet check, the parrots are either adopted out to forever homes or we provide life long care if needed. We have an extensive adoption process that includes an application, interview, home and reference check and several meetings with our birds. Our services include surrendering, fostering, and adoption. Our rescue is run entirely by volunteers and everything we do is for the birds. �

It with a very heavy heart that I write this post, so bare with me...
Due to personal circumstances of the board members, a lack of public interest, and the loss of our facility coming this summer, CWA has decided to dissolve as a 501c3 avian rescue.

For over 10 years, CWA has rescued, rehabilitated and adopted out abused, neglected and/or unwanted parrots in Wyoming and the surrounding states. Since inception, CWA has placed thousands of birds. The work we have done matters.

When a 501c3 dissolves, the organization must either turn over all assets to the government or to another like 501c3 organization. CWA has decided to disperse all birds and assets to SWEAR. SouthWest Exotic Avian Rescue (SWEAR) is a 100% volunteer, 501(c)3 nonprofit avian rescue based in Las Vegas, Nevada. For many years, CWA and SWEAR have operated as sister rescues, helping each other out, in the best interest of the birds. We are so very grateful that SWEAR has stepped up and helped CWA out during this very difficult time.

Wyoming may have another 501c3 avian rescue coming soon.
CWA adopter, Charlene W., has decided that she wants to start her own rescue (Friends of Feather). When everything is official, we will share all of the information for the public.

CWA has filed our intent to dissolve with the state of Wyoming and the IRS. CWA will be completely dissolved the summer of 2024 and a public announcement will be made with every step and detail of the dissolution.
