Bird Gardens of Naples Inc.

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.

Such an amazing place. I’ve never met such loving and caring people.

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.

I started as just visiting Bird Gardens of Naples 5 years ago. I was so impressed I wanted to volunteer which I try to do for one weekend a month. Keri Lohrman, the CEO, is very knowledgeable, knows all the birds names and gives educational/conservation tours of the Gardens 4 days a week for those whom want to attend.

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.

A great non-profit, I think not. I personally saw the owner/director take a short 2x4 and brutally kill a trapped squirrel for no reason, except she doesn't like squirrels. And she let over 100 baby chickens, ducklings, and peacocks be eaten by predictors, because she claims "its nature's way". IMO, for her to obtain donations claiming to be an animal lover is gross misrepresentation at best. IMO, she is not fit to own an animal, let alone run an animal sanctuary. She told me many times, the reason she is involved with rescuing birds, is that it much more profitable than breeding them. It's said you never know someone until you live with them. If the truth ever comes out, the public would be shocked.

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 have been a volunteer at the Bird Gardens for 2 years. I have learned so much by volunteering about birds. It is a wonderful place and the birds are so well cared for and loved. I look forward each week to go out and spend time with them.

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.

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.
