Bird Gardens of Naples Inc.

If there’s one place that knows about birds and does the right thing, it’s Keri Ellen and her
Staff at Bird Gardens of Naples. Keri is not about hoarding birds, but re homing those that can, and taking care of those that can’t. Birds coming into the sanctuary must be tested and those that are ill are treated by an avian vet and receive proper care afterwards. Bird Gardens is a wonderful treat for children, bird lovers and novices. Educational tours are given, the wild Peacocks are spectacular to photograph (and observe their quirky behavior!) What I like about Keri is that she takes the time to listen and answer questions anyone might have. She sincerely cares about you and your bird! And don’t forget, this is a wonderful place to find a parrot if you are looking for one. If you live nearby and can volunteer this will give you an experience of a lifetime you won’t forget. And who knows, you might go home with a darling feathered friend. I’d give this place a 10-star rating and highly recommend a visit.

If you enjoy birds, have a parrot as a pet, or considering adopting a parrot, this place is the place to visit. You will see a variety of birds and very knowledgeable people who will answer your bird questions and provide an interesting and educational experience which will bring joy and entertainment to folks of all ages. You will have the opportunity to hold and feed a parrot and learn about the lifetime commitment necessary as they can outlive the human lifespan. It's a wonderful habitat provided for unwanted birds and birds who have outlived their owners established by some very caring people. We will return without a doubt.

I cannot even begin to sing the praises of the Bird Gardens and Keriellen. I'd need days to tell her how much her nonprofit and her acts of service mean to me and my fiancee. My fiancee is a HUGE fan of birds and especially parrots. So, I decided to surprise her with a tour of the Bird Gardens with a surprise engagement at the end. When I called Keri to coordinate this, she was the kindest, warmest person that I could have asked for. She and her team went out of their way to make the day a once in a lifetime experience. When I popped the question, the birds went nuts! (It was hilarious) My fiancee called it "the perfect day," and we went on to meet many of the birds Keri cares for. She sacrifices so much to make sure these birds have a safe home, and goes above and beyond to protect birds in need. I can't think of anyone else in the community that does more for these animals than her. Thank you for such a wonderful day Keri. We can't wait to come back and volunteer so we can say hi to our good friend Richard the cockatoo.

This is my absolutely favorite place to come to & send visitors in Naples! Bring unsalted pecans or almonds and you will have a great time interacting with all of the beautiful birds , they love the treats so much. Kerriellen the owner is devoted completely to all of the birds and each one definitely has its own character. You will get a chance to interact with some of the ambassador birds in a special area which is a great & fun experience. Donations are greatly appreciated for the tour to help keep this special place going . I personally also love walking the natural paths & experiencing hearing the birds excitement as they know that you are coming with a treat! It’s a place that you will want to return to again and bring your friends , I can guarantee it ❤️

this is a wonderful place they are very knowledgeable bout the birds. the birds are also very well taken care of

Bird Gardens of Naples is by far the best of all rescues, with a great staff and support group. The crew there works with relinquished birds to rehabilitate them and find new homes for the ones that qualify to be pets. When a bird would be happier in a conservation breeding program it will go to a responsible breeder working with that species. When a bird doesn’t fit in either category and should be retired it will stay at the Garden’s sanctuary. Birds relinquished are all vetted, and on great diets. The knowledge and experience of Keriellen goes a long way in assessing where a bird should be placed or worked with.

In addition to all this care and work, the Garden’s is a supporter of conservation and education. The Garden’s has regular tours of their facility while educating visitors and they also do educational visits to clubs, schools, and small groups.

I am a semi-retired breeder of 35 years and I refer many people to seek adopting a bird from the Garden’s. Again, I have to say, with all of the above, The Bird Gardens of Naples is the best of the best.

I have found Bird Gardens of Naples to not only be a wonderful rescue but a great learning environment for volunteers and the many visitors who take tours. Keriellen stands heads above the crowd for her knowledge of avian care, her high standards and ethics, and compassion for not only her parrots but others in need as well. She goes above and beyond whenever someone request assistance with parrot needs. She is a tireless advocate for parrots and Bird Gardens of Naples is a wonderful place to relinquish a parrot or to find a forever parrot through the adoption process.

I came to Florida for the Winter and had to find somewhere to move my macaws as my neighbors in the rv camp ground did not appreciate their voices! I was introduced to the Bird Gardens of Naples. Keri Lohrman took on all my birds and let me volunteer! I learned so much about parrots and learned how knowledgeable, caring and sincere the owners are. Along with her experiential knowledgeable, she also has studied advanced avian topics. I have known the Bird Gardens owners and staff for many years and they will be the people to take care of my birds as time passes. 5 star rating. Any parrot would be happy there. They also provide community education and enrichment programs. ������������❤

Bird Gardens of Naples is one of the best sanctuaries I have ever been to! Keri is amazing and her knowledge and love for parrots makes BGON a wonderful place for sanctuary birds to call home. Visiting is both fun and educational. The birds live in beautiful enclosures in a natural environment. They are fed a high quality diet and visitors can bring nuts to share with the birds. The walk in flight is such an amazing experience for everyone! And it's great to see the birds fly. Lots of photo opportunities. I highly recommend Keri and the BGON. They do so much for so many!

Keri is absolutely amazing. Bird Gardens of Naples is the best rescue/sanctuary I have ever been to. Large clean aviaries for flighted birds. Keri disease tests and vets everyone. She educates people about proper diet, care and vetting. She understands that not every bird is adoptable to pet homes and she also understands that not every pet bird should end up in an aviary either. I cant say enough good things about the way she runs things.

I volunteered for 5+years and learned so much in the process. I witnessed Keri in action behind the scenes on how she handles the birds, cares for the special needs birds and immediately acts when a bird needs help. She is amazing and the birds in her care are in special hands. The bird Gardens of Naples is a special place❤️

What an amazing rescue and asset to our community! The amount of knowledge that Keri has is steller! I’ve learned so much from the Bird Gardens and I had never been a parrot owner before. I now have 3 with the education and care instructions from Keri. The endless days of her rescues and placements of the birds is fantastic and I’m so glad they are here to work in our community!!

It was late, about 8pm. I was asked to help 2 Amazon's. I certainly knew I couldn't help but I knew who to call. Keriellen jumped into action. The owners of the birds were unable to care for them any longer and it was vital for them to get help.
About 15 minutes after I called her, she had someone read t go get them.
Another time, an Amazon was dieing and needed urgent help. I again called Keriellen. She arranged him to g to a vet in south fla where he happily lives and will forever with the veteran who saved his life.
The calls are endless and her ability to step in and save these babies is as well.
The Bird Gardens of Naples is more than a place they call home.

Keri has so much knowledge it was mind blowing. Property and birds are beautiful, great outing for everyone. The kids were happy to see the birds and be able to feed them.

Absolutely beautiful! Tours are full of knowledge! Keri is a very sweet woman and loves and cares for these beautiful birds.

The caregivers seem very knowledgeable. They take wonderful care of the birds

The people here have beautiful hearts. They put in a lot of time to love and support these animals.

Amazing people who truly care for all the birds there!

Overall the place is clean and well organized. You could tell that they interact with all the birds, and put lots of effort into doing it. The volunteers are great and consistent. And especially since I've been volunteering, you learn something new each time you go. In general it's just an amazing establishment.

I volunteer there and the birds there are always clean, well fed, and the owner of bird gardens always interacts with them. I love volunteering there becuase the birds are cute and funny and becuase it is a way to relax for me.

Best place great volunteer staff super helpful with any and every question you may have.

They truly put the animals first and all have such big hearts. Love my time volunteering here with these wonderful people and birds!

Hermosa experiencia se los recomiendo!!!!
Es un lugar donde cudan muy bien a todas las aves!!!

Love it there! Love the animals and love the people

Best place in the world to find peace. All around excellent. Dedicated people who devote their life to the wellbeing of each animal.

The Bird Gardens of Naples is a hidden gem. I thoroughly enjoyed a tour of the gardens. The care taker, Kerriellen, Is extremely knowledgable in caring for these beautiful birds. She shared so many interesting facts about each parrot species. The birds seemed very happy in their large aviaries which were kept very clean. The aviaries are set in a very natural environment with lush trees and foliage. If you enjoy nature and parrots, this is a must see in Naples.
I was so taken by the Bird Gardens that I am now a regular volunteer.

Great place to visit with the kids. Great people and amazing animals

I have been volunteering at the Bird Gardens for over two years. The place is kept clean and beautiful. The birds that are in cages have them cleaned out EVERY DAY. The birds all have filtered water and pellets for food. They are also given fruits and veggies. There are daily tours of the grounds where the guests are educated about the birds. This is the source of their donations but the owners have always supplemented with their personal funds when necessary. I have not ever met more dedicated people than, not only the owners, but the group of volunteers working here.

I have volunteered at and used the services of The Bird Gardens of Naples. They provide an excellent home for parrots and occasionally have parrots that need to be in a home as a companion parrot. The owners are extremely qualified to run the sanctuary and are very caring about these beautiful birds. I learned so much while volunteering.

Great place to visit. Love to see the parrots in such a natural setting. Tour guide is very good at explaining the different parrots and their wants and needs. If you are ever in Naples be sure and take one of the tours at Bird gardens. It’s a treat for the whole family and I can’t wait to go back

Was there in 2017 love the place the owner Kerri is great the birds are awesome very tranquil

One of the best parrot rescues in the United States. Every bird is loved and handled. The director knows each bird and they all respond to her. When you take a tour of the sanctuary it is so much more than you expect, you get educated on each species and treated to hands on with certain birds. The property is such a treat as well❣

Loved your place had a lot of fun and was amazing to see all the birds and be in cage with some of the birds (that was really fun) would love to come back again

Bird Gardens of Naples is one of the best parrot adoption & sanctuary facility in the U.S.! This facility has the experience and knowledge to serve the individual bird based on the bird's needs! 5 star all the way!

This place is an amazing sanctuary for the birds and a few others.
Kerry is a great caretaker and is full of Love and Enthusiasm.
She is brilliant with everything bird related.
What a wonderful home for these beautiful creatures!
She also assists with adoption for birds needing re-homing.
Injured and sick birds get quality and loving care.
The Volunteers are also truly amazing.
I wish I had time to volunteer, one day maybe.

Fantastic Operation! Keri really cares about her birds and was fantastic in helping us board our 3 macaws for almost 7 months while we were waiting on export permits to move them with us to a small island in the Caribbean.

Best parrot rescue in the country in my opinion, Keri love the parrots so much.... They have beautiful large flights and are very well taken care of

Fantastic place to see. Many beautiful birds with many interesting back stories! It's awesome to see the education Keri is bringing to South Florida about parrots.

This is the only rescue/sanctuary I trust. The director/founder is an extremely knowledgeable person with a great deal of compassion and integrity. The birds are cared for in the best, most professional manner possible, all are loved and given the best possible outcome based on what they need. I cannot recommend this organization highly enough.

The Bird Gardens of Naples is a fun and educational non-profit sanctuary for parrots who are abandoned, abused or otherwise surrendered and in need of new home/s. I highly recommend a visit, I promise you won't be disappointed!!

Bird Gardens of Naples is a hidden gem tucked away off of Immokolee rd. 20 minutes east of Interstate 75. Nestled between Oaks Farm and Union Farm there are approximately 200 exotic parrots that reside on a rustic 5 acre parcel of land. Keri; the head caregiver and tour guide, will walk groups up to 20 people along a natural path pointing out native wildlife and the array of exotics that reside there. Every bird has a name and a story so if you want to book a tour on the website you and your guests can learn all about them. Tours are BY APPOINTMENT ONLY. The native flora is almost as beautiful as the colorful parrots and Rocks the dog will probably join your tour. Give yourself around 2 hours for the entire adventure and be sure to bring unsalted almonds (the birds favorite snack) and bug spray. This is truly an amazing place. There is even a small picnic area with restrooms.

Exciting and Educational! It was so much fun to be able to hold Murphy and Romeo! So beautiful and gentle! We recommend coming and experiencing the beauty, dedication and love these beautiful birds are given. The devotion the owner and volunteers give to these parrots is humbling.

I cannot say enough about what a fantastic place Bird Gardens of Naples is. It is a gorgeous exotic place. Aviaries are maintained and clean. Keri puts her heart and soul into loving and caring for these beautiful creatures. I love to roll my car windows down as soon as I enter the property just so I can hear all the tropical sounds. It is one of my favorite places in Naples.

I had to give up my blue and gold macaw do to personal heath issues. Bird Gardens of Naples found him a new home. 2 years later I went to go visit him and I got to see how happy and well taken care of he is. It eases the mind to know he’s in good hands

The Bird Gardens of Naples does a wonderful job educating the public about the pet bird industry. I was also really impressed by the love, care and protection that they provide all the birds there.

We had an amazing time at the Bird Gardens! The tour guide was extremely knowledgeable and knew every bird by name, and there were over 150 that we saw. The trail was a little bumpy, but no one had any issues navigating that path. We will be telling our friends about this hidden gem, and will be back ourselves!

Handsome, caring couple running the place, peacocks and ducklings running around the property with you. Great family dogs too!

Very informative and fun. Educational not just on the birds but the plants and animals in the environment. Like that you can go in a flight and interact with some of the birds.

Bird Gardens of Naples and Kerrie Ellen are well worth visiting and supporting!! I found it very educational. The outside aviaries are designed to meet her feathered flock. If you have questions or concerns, Kerrie Ellen is always accessable to answer and advise you.

Over the years that I've visited Bird Gardens of Naples, I've watched this amazing place blossom. It's obvious that the members of the board and especially the proprietor who lives there and keeps the place running day-in and day-out loves the endless job of caring for the precious birds who go there for life-long care. I'm impressed time and again with how much energy, time, experience, knowledge, love, compassion, work, tenderness, more work, more energy, goes into this endeavor...and the birds benefit from it all! Anyone looking for an inspiring afternoon in Southwest Florida should take a tour of Bird Gardens of Naples; you'll come away with a newfound love and understanding of parrots, that's for sure. Beautiful place. Beautiful people. Beautiful birds.

best place for the bird lovers in SW Florida. Dont miss an opportunity to schedule a visit to Naples Bird Garden. Keri will assist and organize a tour and you will meet many many parrots. Have fun !

This charity is a one woman show : with lots of help from those around her. She is an amazing person who is always willing to help wild foul, parrots and birds of all kinds. Her knowledge is extensive and her understanding is profound.

A great nonprofit well worth a visit -The Birdgardens of Naples is ran by a very knowledgeable woman who care about her charges and know the story of every parrot in her care. The birds here have room to fly and access to natural rain and sun, they are provided species-specific nutrition and get to enjoy the company of their own species - evidence of the very high level of knowledge and the expertise on all things avian at The Birdgardens of Naples. This is a great place and nonprofit and every single dime donated go directly to care for and to ensure the welfare of the birds.
Please check out the website and stop by for a visit if or when in the area - I’ve never seen another place like this where you get this up close to so many different parrot species and it’s a lot of fun to hear all the different little voices (and some not so little..) talk, whistle, sing and make the oddest noises as you walk through the grounds.
This is a nonprofit I am happy and proud to support and I highly recommend you check it out for yourself - spend a couple of hours and you may learn a thing or two in the process. (And if you’re very careful and watch your surroundings closely as you drive to and from the Birdgardens you may even get a glimpse of the highly endangered Florida Panther..)

I love volunteering at The Bird Gardens of Naples. I’ve learned more than I ever knew there was to know about parrots including what rescue and sanctuary mean to these beautiful creatures, proper diet, rehabilitation and about how people all over the world are working on repopulating these beauties into the wild where they belong. I’ve hosted a few tours and the visitors are so much fun! It’s been an amazing experience to learn from Keriellen and humbling to see the time and effort she puts into each parrot that comes through the gates. The Bird Gardens of Naples does rescue the right way...110%.

Love the educational tour and the care given to the flock. Keri is very knowledgeable regarding bird care and works very hard to give these birds great quality of life.

One of the best Parrot places to visit!! Great education tours for the kids too!

What can I say about Keri at The Bird Garden of Naples? She is an angel! I have never seen a woman so passionate and dedicated as Keri. I love going to the Gardens to visit her and her birds. She is beyond amazing. I highly recommend the Bird Gardens to everyone. You can even bring non salted almonds to feed all the birds and Keri allows you to go into the parrot enclosure where you are surrounded by parrots. I love it there!

A loving home with the best care is the only way to describe the bird garden of Naples....

This parrot sanctuary is expertly run by Keriellen. I run a parrot club and refer many people looking to rehome their bird or adopt a bird here. She takes in all parrots and adopts out every one if possible. If not, they live the rest of their days protected, fed, and in a beautiful, natural environment. I truly respect Keriellen and all she does for the parrot community.

The birds are great and Keri does an awesome job taking care of and nurturing the birds back to health.

Absolutely one of the best sanctuaries in the United States that is opperated by a person with a beautifully compassionate heart, the drive to overcome and press forward with confidence, and a brilliant mind that has the ingenuity to effectively problem solve the crisis of what can be done to help too many captives bred or wild caught parrots without a home. I have been to this sanctuary, and they have lovingly taken in more than 30 unadoptable parrots that we had taken into our rescue. I have nothing but upmost respect for all the wonderful work they do and the immaculate care of their birds.

Kerriellen Lohrman's Bird Garden does a wonderful job of bird rescue, with active programs for bird "foster care" and rehoming, as well as a great environment for birds that cannot be placed. Her tours are educational for young and old. We recommend this place for bird lovers of all ages!

Love this place! 3rd time i have visited in the last 5 yr ,What a long way they have come . Very educational and a all around great time . Always the highlight of my vacation. I am hoping to adopt one day !

I love the birds..I've been involved with breeding birds for almost 20 years now. I lived and worked at the Bird Garden of Naples for the last 3 years or so. While the conditions at the Bird Gardens of Naples, look good the the average person, they is much that goes unseen or is hidden from public view. If the public would know what goes on there, I doubt if they would support the owner as they do. The place is infested with rats, and many, many birds have been killed and eaten by rats. A problem that could be solved, but hasn't been. I would estimate while I was there, over a hundred birds have been lost to rats. .The flights and cages are built in a low area; durning the rainy season, which is half the year, the mosquitos are attacking the birds in their cages and flights. The birds are trapped in their cages with hundreds of mosquits attacking them... yet no one seems concerned, out of sight, out of mind. Of course the management stays indoors, ...If you don't think mosquitos are a problem, I suggest you spend the night in in a cage in the everglades / swamp. Up until recently, the birds were forced to drink sulfur water....it took 5 years to solve that problem.... try drinking untrested sulfur water for 5 years, see how you like it.

To me, the most upsetting thing and the root of many of the problems there, is the owners uncaring mindset when it comes to killing small animals. I personally watched her bludgeon a squirrel to death with a 2x4 for no reason except she does not like squirrels. The owner knowingly lets the hawks swoop down and kill baby chicks, peacocks and ducklings... at least 150 that I know of....I wanted to protect them from the preditors, but the owner objected. It's nature's way according to her. However it is very irresponsible and cruel way to raise poultary. In effect all she is doing is feeding the hawks, which is illegal. In my openion she should be arrested for animal cruilty. The owner's mantra is if a person can not take care of their animals they should not have them. I agree, problem is she can't take care of the animals she has, so she should get rid of her's and stop being such a hypocrite. Many of the problems at the Bird Gardens of Naples, can be solve, but it take someone who cares about all animals, not just parrots. In my openion she should be arrested for animal cruilty, and replaced by someone who is not a Narcissistic Sociopath. I am trying to kept this review short. This is just the tip of the iceberg. To fully expose all that is taking place at the Bird Gardens of Naples would require many pages. If you do take a tour, you may want to ask the owner what she is going to do with the two freezers full of dead birds she has...

I love this place im a care giver I happened to,take my one client here he still talks about how he loves this place and when will we go again . The tour was awesome got to hold few of parrots which was really cool and you get to feed them to if you bring parrot food peanuts that are recommended by owners . There are so many exotic and very beautiful nice birds first time I visited and we both fell in love with the birds this is by far best non profit that is free and all they ask are for donations to help for the love of the birds
Thank you so much for this wonderful place we hope to come back soon

I am very familiar with the parrot rescues in central and southwest Florida. Kerriellen is one of only two that I know of who is honest, above board and transparent with her operation. She is also only one of two that I will be trusting with my own birds.

There is such great work being done at the Bird Gardens! It's wonderful to have been able to volunteer here and see first-hand the natural environment and care given to the beautiful Birds that have come to know this place as their home! Anyone would enjoy a visit to the sanctuary, gain knowledge about parrots, and even enjoy giving the birds some nuts and treats

If you love birds this is a must see. Incredibly informative. My experience there was unforgettable and will return.

Keri and her crew are tirelessly amazing. When our lives changed, Keri took in our 3 macaws for several months until we could get settled enabling us to be able to keep our beautiful babies.

Take time and walk through any of the aviaries with Keri and you will see how much all of the birds adore her, this comes from time and mutual respect.

Keriellen is amazing. She and her team give the very best care and atmosphere for birds that have no where to go. They have fresh air fresh food and activities to keep them engaged in life. She cleans all those cages herself and makes so they all aree feed loved and happy. If you havent been to her sanctuary you need to go and bring your kids its a very special place.

I am a volunteer for Keri Lohrman of the Bird Garden of Naples. The Bird Garden of Naples is a nonprofit organization. Keri is very down-to-earth, sincere and caring person. She has such a pleasant personality that it's a joy to work for her. The birds are all kept clean, happy and healthy. She has 300 of the most beautiful and exotic parrots in avaiaries throughout her property. She does educational tours on the weekends. She also shows her ambassador birds for parties and events throughout Naples and can be booked through her website at www.birdgardensofnaples.org or through the Bird Gardens facebook at facebook.birdgardens.org. Caring for 300 birds, she could always use more volunteers and donations.
- Carol King

This is a great place with knowledgeable people, whose experience they willingly share, It is a favorite spot and a place I try to get to every few months. Kudos Kerri and team!

Bird of Naples!
Does an amazing service for the sounding communities. Helping take care of your (any) type of parrots. Caring for them and if adoption is for the bird, finding great homes for them.
As nonprofit organization they are very excited to receive any donation to help.
I received my bird from Keriellen, who runs the rescue center, and she and her group of volunteers are a great organization for birds and people of the community.
Even going to the extent to take care of my bird when I was in great need for it.
So open your hearts and pockets for this awesome group!

If you are looking for a place to learn everything you can about exotic birds, this is the place. Keri is one of the most informative people I have ever met when it comes to parrots and their habits. She cares very much for the welfare of these birds. They take a lot of work, but she never complains about the cost or the time it takes to feed over the hundreds that live on the property. She only boasts about them!!! I absolutely recommend you take a trip to Naples and visit the sanctuary where all of these wonderful creatures live and prosper.

As a wildlife educator in northern NY I contacted the Bird Gardens of Naples to inquire about a tour of their facility and the possibility of networking with the organization. I was absolutely taken in awe at the amazing care, knowledge, and work this organization does. This organization doesn't just house hundreds of birds; it houses love, compassion, knowledge, passion, and dedication. I was amazed at the cleanliness and beauty of the facility - it was like walking through the jungle and seeing a new species of bird around every corner. While visiting we also decided to adopt 2 birds that needed a home and we couldn't be more happy to have done so. I wish for more people to find it in their hearts to give to this organization!

The Bird Gardens of Naples is a magical place! I have been here multiple times and I wish I could live here. The tour is very informative and it's like stepping out of city life and into the rainforest. The birds are very well cared for and very Interactive. Kerri is very knowledgeable about parrots and other critters and is a very welcoming hostess, as she lives at the gardens. Her relationship with their birds there is so encompassing and I often wonder how she remembers all of their names.

If you come to florida bird gardens of naples is a must see place. Absolutely beautiful. If you love parrots of all species this is a must visit place. Ms Keri has to be the most knowledgeable person I have ever met on many many levels when it comes to parrots. I highly recommend bird Gardens of Naples to everyone. I have been there many times and can't wait to go back every time. I give bird gardens of naples 100 stars

I 've been to this Sanctuary 2x. I was so intrigued at the organization of the cages, and how well adjusted the birds seem. My friend adopted a GW Macaw and things are going great. I recommend everyone visit, donate and support this sanctuary.

The place is amazing so many birds and great people running it!

Fantastic place. Keri is very close to nature and such a beautiful spirit. You know when people are attuned to nature. Go visit for the peace, birds and beautiful surroundings. She has rescued many animals and has her heart in it.

Keri had encyclopedic knowledge of all captive birds. For those who go on her tour that have birds in their homes, she gives advice about diet, behavioral issues and hormonal events in the birds life. For those who don't have birds but are thinking of getting one, she tells the real truth about having one of these animals living in your house. They don't just sit in a cage and look pretty all day! She works closely with her vet and the community to ensure the safety of all birds, wild and hurt ones. I have personally seen her go to people's houses who have birds and try and help them through times of crisis. Allot of times these birds are religuished in times of human crisis. She will give advice and help where she can but lets the people make up their own mind about what to do when things have to change. She helped me when I was at my wits end with my bird and I've seen her help others in the same way. Her efforts of reform and education on good bird care extend beyond the sanctuary to bird owners too so that the bird can stay in a loving home and healthy environment for the bird. Her birds are well fed, watered And cared for. Unfortunately this is the place for them to go when there is no where else but Keri takes them in and makes sure they have proper cages, water, food, fresh air and sunlight. Basic things that abused and neglected birds do not receive. She has a hoard of people helping her and that is the only way a place this large can withstand the demand of so many unwanted birds. Keri knows how to network and find people who are passionate about birds. She is very warm and welcoming and shares her birds and their lives with all the people who come for her tours. It's a wonderful place in a sea of the overwhelming numbers of homeless and unwanted birds.

My sister and I visited the bird gardens of Naples few months ago. What an amazing place for birds that didnt have a home or that were not tame. Kerri is an amazing person she gives everything to those birds. Not just her but her whole family. The birds are happy well cared for and loved. If you havent been to bird gardens of naples you need to its a rare treasure of a place.

I met Keri, who runs Bird Gardens of Naples three years ago when we moved to Naples, Florida. We have two Macaws that live with us. When we travel we leave them with Keri. We always have peace of mind when we are away knowing that they are cared properly. Keri is devoted to the birds in the sanctuary and treats them as her children.

What a great bunch of people helping out hundreds of parrots in need!!! Keri gives tours explaining about each of the birds. She is like the Bird-whisperer - she is absolutely amazing around all the birds. It is very educational to find out about all the different types of parrots, where they come from, what they eat, and how long they can live. I recommend this non-profit organization to everyone!

From hearing from people that have been there, it is a wonderful place, I can't wait to visit.

The Bird Gardens of Naples is a fabulous nonprofit in Naples, Fl and that is all due to Keriellen! She loves her birds and is passionate about helping them thrive. Her tour is a must-do when visiting Collier County!

This is always a great place to visit. With over 300 birds, there is always something entertaining going on. The educational tours are extremely informative, and they let you interact with different birds to help people understand them better and become more comfortable around them. I recommend this place to everyone who visits Naples, as they are doing great things for the birds that can no longer go to a home.

I have been there twice to help & go on the tour. These people are so amazing for giving these old, mistreated , & breeder birds a place to live out their days in a beautiful atmosphere. If you're even thinking of getting a parrot or what to learn more about these exotic feathered friends it's an excellent place to visit to learn & see what you are getting into! So welcoming and caring! Can't wait to go back!

I have been there several times and Keri Lohrmann has always been there to help. When I had 22 quakers which needed a place to call home she volunteered her services right away. The flight that was built for there is beautiful and are living a great life.

Will go back again and recommend a visit to anyone in the area.

After countless retreats to the Bird Gardens of Naples, it has become my treasure. I grew up rescuing and adopting birds so this place is a haven for me. As a photographer I’ve had the opportunity capture so many beautiful images at the gardens, where there are hundreds of beautiful and exotic birds including some rare and endangered species from across the globe.

Keriellen’s dedication to these birds is above and beyond anything I’ve seen before. She is so knowledgeable and informative about all of the birds, which allowed me to learn and experience so much more than I ever expected. She has rescued many of these birds from terrible situations and I really appreciate everything she sacrifices to give them a good home. Unfortunately for many birds the damage from their previous homes are permanent, such as severely plucked feathers.

I recommend a tour for anyone who has any interest in animals or birds. It’s great whether you’re interested in an education about different breeds or stories of each bird and where they came from. After bringing friends and family to visit, many realized just how much personality birds have and how fun they can be.

The grounds of the bird gardens are more natural and less manicured, unlike a zoo or typical animal attraction, which gives a feel of actually being in the wild. With that in mind, bring bug repellant and a cool drink for your journey. There's no fee for your visit, but donations are appreciated.. the cost for upkeep would make you sick!

I first came to the gardens with a friend of mine and I fell in love! the birds are amazing keri is so knowledgeable on all of them. She has such a passion for every single bird. Every one is very nice and friendly. This is an amazing place to learn and to heal, not only the birds but yourself as well.

The Bird Gardens of Naples is a wonderful sanctuary. The owner, Keri, has devoted her life to the care and rescue of nearly 300 birds. You can see how much she truly loves each and every feathered friend - my parrot loves it here. Keri was kind enough to take my parrot in (hopefully temporarily) and our sweet girl is so happy at the sanctuary. I dreaded finding a place for her to go and am so relieved that I found Keri and her wonderful bird haven. Keri lets me visit my girl/volunteer whenever I like - I can't say enough good things about the wonderful care and attention the birds receive. Their standard of care is excellent and I love that my bird lives in a flight with 6 other parrots. Keri is a bird lover through and through. Her knowledge is impressive, as she's taken care of birds for years. Visit here, you won't be disappointed and you'll come away with a great bit of education and understanding of many types of birds. A++++ Non-profit!!! A major asset to Naples and SW Florida!

I had one of the best times volunteering here at the Bird Gardens of Naples. They were very kind, the birds are funny and very beautiful. I love volunteering for them and i would gladly do it more often. They take great care of their birds and the people that help out around the garden. Their very nice people to be around. i love it there.

Have birds of my own. Visited this place and became a volunteer. Just wanted to lend a hand to some really good people doing wonderful things for the birds. If you get a chance, give them a call for a tour. It's worth it. Not too many things to do today that are enjoyable, in addition to helping make life easier for the animals.

Beautiful place! Keri is very knowledgeable regarding the birds as well as the beautiful flowers, plants and bushes. Wonderful day trip filled with beauty and peacefulness.

Came for a visit. Came back to stay and now I am a volunteer. Just love the place and Keri makes you feel welcome. Its where you go when you want to see something beautiful. If you want to go see some beautiful birds, gorgeous wild landscapes and not pay a fortune for parking etc., this is a welcome change and a great place to bring the family.

WOW ! this place is out of the world . I had such a great time with Keri . I learned so much about parrots and the plants on her property . I found this place by chance on trip advisor , so glad i took the time to visit . the people there are doing great work . I cant wait to go back . Make sure you call to make an appointment this place is her home and she is a very busy woman .

Great place Great people !!!! I got my bird from them (( Michale )) they took verry good care of him till he picked me to come home with.

When you step into The Bird Gardens Of Naples, the first thing you hear are birds happily being birds. Then the feeling of peace and tranquility there hits you. It is nothing short of magical. Keri has become more than a friend to me. She is a sister. Keri's love and devotion to the birds is so clear, she is an amazing and hard working person. Someone mentioned Keri as being a "Bird Whisperer", I say this often. Her knowledge of birds & their care is second to none. The hard work of Keri, family, and volunteers is turning The Bird Gardens Of Naples into what a sanctuary should be. A place where birds can be birds, never being told to "be quiet". They can sound off and they do, in a jubilant way! Make a point to visit and donate to The Bird Gardens Of Naples. It will be an experience you will not only enjoy, but cherish as a high point in your life! Thank you Keri, family, and friends, for making The Bird Gardens Of Naples what a sanctuary should be!

I have been there i my capacity of a volunteer with the Bird Lovers Club in Pembroke Pines FL -- assisting in building a new macaw flight.

When I first stepped onto the property I thought I was on a tropical island, we all the unique foliage and the birds' flights build into this tropical landscape.

It is great there and I would suggest that one would visit and volunteer.

Keriellen has an amazing sanctuary. I encourage any bird lover to visit the bird gardens of Naples it's truly an amazing experience.

We have not only visited Bird Gardens of Naples, but have also placed several birds in their care. Keriellen and her family have created a desperately needed haven for parrots that are left with no where else to go. The parrots who live here are surrounded by natural beauty and given the opportunity to enjoy their lives as they wish. Large, well spaced flight aviaries equipped with water systems, natural perching and multiple forms of enrichment, as well as quality food and organic fruit grown on the property. The caregivers are extremely knowledgeable in avian medicine, nutrition and behavior and spend many, many hours a day with the parrots. Bird Gardens of Naples is a great facility and deserves recognition as a Great NonProfit.

Keri has built wonderful aviaries and is totally dedicated to the parrots well being and futures. Through her hard work and private donations and volunteers she has a place where unwanted parrots can be rehomed and live out their lives happily enjoying good food, attention and flight. Now we just need hundreds of more just like Bird Gardens of Naples!

I've not had the pleasure of visiting Bird Gardens yet but know just from talking with Keriellen and looking at pictures that she has a wonderful home for many needy birds and her cages and aviaries are immaculate and she has her birds on great diets and gives them much love and excellent care. She is a wonderful person who is also very giving to her human friends. I have not yet met her in person but she has offered to help my partner and I with anything we need in our battle with cancer. An amazing loving woman and wonderful aviculturist. The world should have more people like her.

As a bird owner I was told by a friend about Keri. So this summer my daughter and I took a weeks vacation to Florida making a stop by to visit Keri and her flocks. AMAZING isn't even close to the experience we had there! She named off every bird with a brief history of each one! She went into details about how you can look at a wild caught and a "born in captivity" and see and tell the difference! I learned so much that day that even as a bird owner who has been to the best vets with my birds didn't tell me. Some of my birds came to me in not the best shape, and lots of trips to the vet, and medicines I learned a bunch but nothing compared to what I learned from Keri! Keri is such a wonderful women and cares so much about birds and kids as my daughter got her first fire ant bite! Keri rushed into action doing everything including keeping my daughter calm. My daughter had ants on her feet " she had to get Florida flip flops" and wear them, and only got 1 bite! Keri took us into her home and fixed her all up. There are not enough kind words I can speak about Keri!! Her knowledge is remarkable!!

The Bird Gardens of Naples is a great adventure and learning experience. Keri knows so much about birds and seems to be a "Bird Whisperer"!! They are working so hard to turn this great piece of land and their dream to care for birds into a place where people can come and learn and have fun at the same time. There's something neat to see around every corner. It's so relaxing to be out in nature and see these beautiful creatures and listen to Keri talk about them! The kids will find this very interesting and I think schools should make this a field trip destination! Keri is truly a caring person and loves animals of all kinds. All the birds who are at the Gardens have been rescued and have been given a second chance at a happy life thanks to Keri and the Bird Gardens of Naples!

What an amazing individual~~Keri truly knows the feathered ones as well as they know & TRUST her! The interaction between Keri & the birds is fascinating to witness. There is no doubt about the love & adoration shared. Keri devotes her life to the feathered ones & she knows each & every story each bird comes to her with! The birds' long life spans contribute to most everyone of the birds having experienced ups & downs throughout life's journey. Today they live content & safely tended to with unconditional love at Bird Gardens of Naples.

An amazing place run by an amazing woman. A great resource for any bird owner as they are very knowledgeable and helpful.

Bird Gardens of Naples has been a miracle to many birds and other animals! The staff is very knowledgable, clean and caring - more than caring, they love their animals. I am more than impressed with the care given to all animals at this establishment. More animal facilities need to be like them!!

Great cause, they do such a great job caring for the birds. It takes a lot of dedication and caring and of cause money. Visit the Bird Gardens of Naples and donate to this great cause.

Working with Kerri and her family is a delightfull experience. She teaches me something new every day I am there and they make you feel at home. She clipped my macaws nails and wing feathers as well. My bird enjoyed spending a day at the bird garden as I volunteered. She treats her rescue birds with the upmost care and can handle birds with ease that other people have given up on.

I am a board member for Parrot Outreach Society and I could not be prouder to work with such an amazing santuary. The grounds are fantastic and beautiful, birds get top notch care and have so much room and freedom. I hope by us working together, we will set an example for other rescues. Together we can make a huge difference!

This sanctuary assisted with taking 20 cockatoos from a hoarding situation and did an absolutely fabulous job all throughout the process. The owner is kind, knowledgable and extremely motivated. The facilities are breathtakingly beautiful, clean, and well organized. Each flight is more than enough room for the birds to enjoy. The birds emotions and physical health are of high priority. All of the animals appeared happy, healthy, and well loved. The sanctuary is not overcrowded and staff is not overwhelmed. A very well run, top knotch organization!

I had the chance to Meet Kerriellen and see the great work she is doing. I was very impressed with her commitment and all of the hard work she is doing to provide a safe place for those birds that need to live out their lives in a sanctuary situation. God Bless her and her family. I will be back for a visit when I can!

The people of Bird Gardens of naples are some of the finest people I have ever met. They have become my saving grace. I am a owner of a wonderful guy named Charlie Bird Powell. He is a Moluccan Cockatoo Aged around 30. Charlie has been with me from his first breath he is gentle, sweet and overly loving. He started to pick at his feet and after a lot of lost sleep and planty of meds and rewrapping I found myself completely overwhelmed. Thats when the ANGELS of Naples Bird Gardens Sanctuary/Rescue-Rehabilitation came into Charlie and my life. Keriellen Lohrman and her family, voluntee's have taken Charlie and are working hard on making him better. He has wonder care and lots of love 24-7. There are no words for the feeling in my heart for the care they give to each and every species that need a helping hand are a good home. THERE THE BEST!

As bird owner I want to show support of this group

Awesome work done by an awesome people! Knowledgeable, caring and devoted. Bird Gardens of Naples is so beautiful you won't want to go home.

Bird Gardens of Naples is a part of a significant movement, a movement towards rescue and rehoming, a movement that is necessary in aviculture today. The dedication is obvious in the care the birds receive and the way the facility is ran.

I am Executive Director and Founder of Birds of Paradise Sanctuary & Rescue Inc. I had the opportunity to visit Bird Gardens of Naples and found it to be exemplary in all aspects of parrot care and compassion. The staff is well knowledgable and caring and the grounds are beautiful. It is difficult to maintain the level or care these parrots need in captivity and Bird Gardens of Naples provides above standard food as well as atmosphere for these parrots to thrive. I would and have highly recommended them to supporters as well as parrots needing forever care.

We know these people and are sure this isn't just a business. They sincerely care about birds. They work very hard at it and are doing a lot of good

Keri and her team are absolutely wonderful, great people, with great attitudes and a loving and welcoming place!
