The story of Sadie’s Parrot Sanctuary
After retiring from the Department of Defense in 2004, I was searching for something interesting and meaningful to do when I encountered Nelson, a young Sun Conure. He was smart and sassy. I immediately fell in love and adopted him. Nelson quickly became a part of our family. Much to our surprise, shortly after we adopted Nelson, we discovered that Nelson was a girl; “he”then became Nelsi. Our interest in parrots quickly blossomed, and, as it did, we became aware of the many birds who owners had given them up. We found our next bird, Pepper, at the Wilson Parrot Foundation. Pepper, a Scarlet Macaw, was 25 when we adopted her; she will be 42 on January 1, 2021. As we opened our hearts and home to unwanted parrots, our flock grew steadily. Sadie, also a Scarlet Macaw, was one of the birds who came to live with us. She passed away in 2019, but she was special, and her imprint on our lives will last forever. Sadie’s Parrot Sanctuary was named in her memory.
Some members of our flock can be loud, and most all of them are a bit messy, but each is wonderful in his or her own way. Most of our parrots talk, but smart and loquacious as they are, they cannot tell us when they don’t feel good. We were fortunate to have found an avian vet, without whose advice and counsel we would not have been able to give our birds the care they both need and deserve. She taught us how to recognize warning signs of illness and was always available to provide professional care. Her assistance was invaluable to us, as our parrot family grew. Sadly, she moved from this area, but, with her assistance, we found another avian practice that satisfies our avian friends’ medical needs.
Sadie’s Parrot Sanctuary is a non-profit corporation under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code, as amended.
