We will not be taking in, adopting out and boarding parrots for an undetermined length of time. We do have another rescue we can refer people to. We can do nail trims and wing trims for local parrots. We found that we need to focus our energy and time on the massive clean-up efforts. With that said, we are looking for donations of old used towels and washcloths for when we reopen. We are currently looking for the large black totes with yellow lids 30" wide by 20.5" front to back and 14" deep. We are still in need of volunteer help as well.

It seems we are getting hit with spams and scams. Some of you maybe getting hit as well. Try to block and report them if they message you as well.

We are hosting our first Pampered Chef party to help raise funds! Lots of great products to choose from! I know we have some followers who love to cook and bake, so what better way to find some cool new kitchen items than an online Pampered Chef party?

We would like to send out a BIG Thank You to Wyspur Kallis and Jane Hansen for the bird toys. Our shelter parrots are really flappin' happy!

We are still looking for volunteers for this weekend's big clean up. Friday, Saturday and Sunday from 9am to whenever we get tired and have to quit. You can arrive anytime between those hours and put in whatever time works for you. The weather looks to be a little cooler which is a perfect time to put in some time in at the shelter. We will have donuts for breakfast and pizza for lunch so we will need a head count of who will be joining us in the fun.

Tweety the yellow-tailed black cockatoo is mostly yellow due to a rare condition. While that has resulted in it being shunned by its kin in the wild, collectors see Tweety as a prize — and that is a problem.

To our local members and shoppers. We now have a food supply available for purchase.. It will be at a private home, so you will need to schedule an appointment to pick it up.
We are still looking for volunteers for cleaning on the 9th, 10th and 11th of August.
Thank you all!

UPDATE AND A CALL FOR LOCAL HELP!

We have finally tested all of the shelter birds twice, and 12 out of 15 were negative. We have moved the negative parrots and the shelter is now empty. With that said, it's time to start our major clean-up project. Top to bottom hard labor cleaning. We need volunteer help from our community to get the job done effectively and efficiently. We need help on August 9th, 10th and 11th starting at 9 am. We do not expect volunteers to show up right at 9 am but whatever schedule works for you on those dates. There will be donuts for breakfast and pizza for lunch! We will have refreshments as well! Private message us if you intend on coming so we organize the day.
Let's kick this mess to the curb and start fresh!

After being locally extinct for a century in Belém, the host city of next year’s COP30 climate summit, it’s being reintroduced by conservationists who have so far released 50 individuals into the wild since 2018.

Retail sales of birds promotes the suffering o millions of individuals who are kept in conditions unsuitable to express their natural behaviors, released outdoors to die, or relinquished to overburdened and unprepared shelters.

It's time Petco and PetSmart do their part to end this cycle of abuse. Sign our petition to tell Petco and PetSmart to stop the sale of birds in their stores now. https://www.thepetitionsite.com/takeaction/716/488/144/

We have received a report of a possible Sun Conure flying in the area of 13th Ave. S. and the I-29 off ramp. Should anyone see it or manage to capture it, please call us at 701-293-3833 or message us here. Thank you. FARGO, ND

Just a quick reminder that our store and shelter are still closed until further notice. We are working on a plan to have food and toys available. We apologize for any inconvenience.

UPDATE: Cockatiel has been reunited with her family! Happy endings are the best!

Let's help get this Cockatiel back home safe!

With good news comes some bad news. 6 Budgies came back negative. Sadly, 2 others came back positive.

05/24/2024

Now this gave us a little positive news we needed!

05/22/2024

We had a few more birds come back as negative and 1 come back positive. We had a few that show they were exposed but far too low to call positive. We will retest those again after 60 or more days. It gets a little confusing understanding the lower levels. We hope to start to disinfect and repaint the shelter soon and would love to have some help with that in the coming weeks. We have such a hard-working board and volunteer base! We can not thank them enough! We will continue to stay strong and push forward!

05/11/2024

We would like to acknowledge some monetary donations that came into our shelter. We thank you for your continued support.

05/11/2024

More great news!

05/08/2024

Good News! Another negative test result from another frequent flyer that boards and visits CAARE regularly!

05/07/2024

Something positive to share! A frequent flyer that has been in our shelter numerous times since December has come back negative!
