This is an awesome exotic bird rescue and adoption place! I conduct my own yearly fundraiser for it on Facebook and attend open houses to see the new improvements to it. I know that my donations (and those of my associates) are being spent wisely and truly for the best care of the birds. Wonderful place!
Mia, our 26 year old Umbrella Cockatoo, went to her forever home, Patty's Parrot Palace, last October. For 25 years she was a pet in a cage, now she gets to live her true life, in a spacious aviary with lots of friends just like her. We know she is happier, healthier and full of life. We thank Trish, the owner, for Mia's "new life and digs". We visit Mia and can attest to the wonderful care Mia and all the other birds get, top notch!
I have had the most greatest experience with Patty’s Parrot Palace and continue too! I adopted my Moluccan Cockatoo, Willie, from Patty and he is absolutely amazing. We have had some ups and downs but Patty has helped me every step of the way without hesitation!! She is absolutely amazing and her number one concern and love is for all the birds!! The love she has for all these birds is AMAZING AND BEYOND WONDERFUL! I now board willie there for camp when I’m out of town and Willie has a great time!! I have never experienced such a beautiful place in all my life! The poor birds that are just given up on or don’t have a home anymore or their owners have passed away get to live out their life in a bird sanctuary that is bird heaven on earth! So blessed beyond belief I found Patty’s Parrot Palace or I would never have found my Willie!!! Highly recommend 100%!!!!

We adopted our Amazing, Sweet, Adorable Moluccan Cockatoo, Willy, from Pattys Parrot Palace. The whole experience was absolutely amazing from the beginning. I felt right at home when meeting my Soul Mate Bird. Patricia and her husband educated me from the beginning on how to have a successful adoption and future with Willy. Walking into Pattys Parrot Palace is like walking into a beautiful Caring bird heaven. All the birds are happy and healthy thanks to them and get to live their life out with tons of love. Highly recommend them to Adopt a bird or to just visit an amazing beautiful bird sanctuary.
The palace is one of the most compassionate and rewarding places I've ever been lucky enough to volunteer at. Trish and Tony truly love and care for every animal here as a part of their family!!
A very fun and unique place to volunteer and visit. The people are so amazingly fun and nice, the birds love to join in on the fun and it makes anyone's day better. A wonderful place to put on the "sights to see" list.
I have been volunteering at the Palace for about one and a half years. I''m proud to be a part
of this nonprofit for many reasons but mainly for the way the birds (and goats, chickens, dogs
and turkeys) are loved and taken care of. I have been to zoos where you can see the difference in the bird's attitudes. They are happy, healthy and loved at the Palace and have a great attitude compared to the zoo birds. Everyone should visit to see that happiness can come out of a bad situation for these birds.

I started going to PPP goat yoga classes and absolutely feel in love with the goats, birds and Trish. I have been volunteering for about 6 months. These animals have found an unbelievably great home. They are all loved and well cared for. The Aviaries are clean and everyone I have worked with, is caring and loving to the birds. Trish loves each bird and they love her in return.
This is by far the most animal friendly bird sanctuary I have ever had the privilege to be a part of. The birds are so well cared for and loved. The time and consideration taken with each bird is heartwarming. It amazes me how she knows each birds name and likes. She is not only on top of the birds nutrition she also has a keen sense of their health and nothing goes unchecked. It is like a helicopter mom to each and every bird. I have a a cockatoo that lives at Patty’s Parrot Place and she is the happiest I have ever seen! I love visiting my bird but also seeing all the amazing happy birds. If you want to donate to an amazing nonprofit, this is the one!!
Patty's Parrot Palace is quite simply a non-profit animal rescue with true heart. Trish and Tony not only provide outstanding care (food and medical) for many parrots, but truly love each and every one of them, and know all of them by name!
I found them when searching for rescue organizations when I developed a severe allergic/asthmatic reaction to my Grey after 28 years and was forced to re-home him.
As a "parront", I provide financial support and can visit my baby, while he can enjoy having other birds to socialize with plus be outdoors in a more natural bird habitat.
Truly an amazing, magical place, and I am so thankful to have found them!
Please support if you can so they can continue to provide the very best care for all their beautiful feathered protégés!
I inherited a parrot and while researching ways to give him the best life I could I started reading about all the parrots that are neglected, abused and in a lot of cases just have to be re homed due to lack of education (live too long, get louder or more destructive than anticipated or they bite) and it broke my heart as it does with any animal. So I knew if I ever expanded my flock it would be through adoption/rescue only. I was so surprised to find a sanctuary in MY HOME TOWN. Like what?! I haven’t decided to expand my own flock yet but I started to feel called to help in some way and reached out to volunteer. I was nervous because, I won’t lie, “rescues” just doesn’t bring images of good things or warm fuzzy feelings. PPP is NOT those other places! They are very clean, have aviaries that provide for more than “bare minimum” for survival. The birds are free flighted in flocks of their own kind. They have great diets and lots of opportunities for enrichment. Trish and Tony are so great. I don’t think they know strangers, lol. When I showed up the first time it was the same as if I had been there a dozen times. To see them know each bird and take time with them all; well this place does give me the warm and fuzzies. It is a home. Even though I clean up a lot of bird poop and risk feeding the big guys my fingers as snacks I am so excited to go back each week! If I could be there every day I would. If you can volunteer or you choose to donate this is the place to do it your time and your funds will all be appreciated and used very responsibly.
Patty provides a [literal] palace for every single animal under her care!! She not only helps facilitate the daily welfare of the birds, but also does her part in combatting the root causes of animal desertion. A lot of props to this FABULOUS organization!! :D

This woman and her volunteers dedicate their time & other resources to educate, foster and help eradicate the domestication of these exotic animals. We live in a world where suffering often times go unnoticed, but what Patty has created is a safe environment where these majestic creatures can thrive and live out their life being cherished. Way to go PPP!! :)
Absolutely an amazing place! Trish and Tony have built a beautiful place for the birds. I look forward weekly going to volunteer, everyone has fun and the birds are thriving! So many awesome things happening here, the birds are given their second chance and that is really great.
What an awesome bird rescue community!!! Trish and Tony have made it their mission, to care for these birds. Also, goat yoga is a fun day for friends and family

Patricia, owner of Patty’s Parrot Palace, has an amazing connection with the birds under her care. She gains their trust and helps them open up and become more sociable. It’s amazing to see this interaction. Like the majority of nonprofits, adequate funding is always in short supply. However, Patty’s mission to improve the quality of life gives her the determination to grow and keep her sanctuary thriving. We need more people, like Patty, who follow their heart and help animals.
Had a wonderful time this morning with some friends and family... the goats cooperated fully! We had a chance to hold a baby goat that was just born last night, he was so cute.
Great for men, women, and kids.... although, I wouldn't bring very young kids as they may get frightened by the goats.
Donut, the turkey, is an added benefit

I love this place! I’ve visited and it’s very nice and well-looked after. Obviously, the donated funds are being used for their intended purpose and it’s wonderful to see continuous expansion and improvement of the facilities. The birds seem very content and it’s really just a great place to stop by and see. My donations here are very well spent!
I found this piece of paradise last year when I was watching a local news program that was doing a story on Patty's Parrot Palace. At the end of the piece they said they were looking for volunteers & my heart jumped in excitement. Within a couple of days I reached out to Trish to let her know I was interested & within a week I was pulling up in the driveway. I don't believe that Trish has ever met a stranger, only friends she hasn't been introduced to. Once I got underway making myself busy with changing water & food bowls & cleaning cages the time just flew by. All of the other volunteers welcomed me warmly & it felt good to give back & help where I could. Trish & Tony have such big hearts & are doing amazing work taking in neglected & abused birds along with all manner of farm animal. I will keep coming back to this amazing place as long they'll have me to interact & care for these amazing birds and this wonderful non-profit!
Great place !!! Trisha is awesome, she is wonderful with the birds. She knows all the birds by name, the characters, likes and dislikes. Those birds are definitely in good hands.
PPP is a nicest bird sanctuary I’ve ever seen. Trisha and Tony know birds by names. My bird is very happy there!!! She is enjoying her friends company and warm FL weather! Thank you PPP
PPP is just the best sanctuary hands down. Its clean, well kept, and the perfect environment for the many animals that live there. Trish and Tony know every single animal by name and share their love with them all unconditionally. They are the most dedicated care takers I know. In the time I’ve been volunteering there they have expanded the aviaries to make sure all the residents have the space they need to live happy and healthy. They take in the most damaged souls and through love, patience, and a healthy environment they restore them to healthy happy birds. Their service to the community is unwavering. They sponsor community activities and engage students from the local university and through these activities they are helping to raise awareness for the plight of displaced pet birds and are encouraging the next generation of caretakers and advocates.
The Palace is the best part of my week! To watch how much we have grown, as a family and as a sanctuary is amazing. To watch Trish & Tony build such a strong team and outstanding aviaries for the birds; shows that their heart goes beyond just housing the birds. They want all of the birds to be homed, happy and fully-flighted; to excel, to be happy and to be loved everyday of their lives. Volunteering here each week has helped me to grow as a person and to see what true dedicated and love is! Patty's Parrot Palace isn't just a nonprofit, it is a family filled with dedication, determination, gratitude, humility and love!

Patty’s Parrot Palace is MORE than just saving birds, we are a family!! My sister had been a volunteer there for years and invited me to go there with her one day in November 2016. Thank God that she did because I needed it. The Palace reminded me that there was more to life than me. It also reminded me of the amazing people that I have in my life!! Trish & Tony are the 2 most selfless people that I have ever met!!! Their dedication to the birds, all animals for that matter, continue to amaze me even as a volunteer. They continue to be an inspiration to me! I love them and I love being able to be a part of such an amazing organization!!! I am eternally grateful to them for allowing me to be a part of their amazing organization and family!! ♥️
Patty's Parrot Palace continues to be my favorite place to volunteer! Each day more and more progress is made to make it an oasis for the birds. Trish and Tony always outdo themselves, I will be supporting this non-profit for years to come!

I have been volunteering at Patty's Parrot Palace for the last 8 months. Volunteering at the palace has been one of my greatest pleasures. Trish and Tony are extremely caring and attentive owners. On top of the 100+ birds that they provide for and home, they also take the time to farm their own chickens and goats! They add culture, substance and value to their community. Every Sunday they host Goat yoga where participants are able to interact with the animals while also enjoying the serene surroundings that Deland has to offer!Birds that come to Patty's have transformed from abandoned, featherless dismal creatures to loved, lively, happy go lucky birds. Both Trish and Tony push to continuously make themselves and their establishment a better home for the birds. They've moved from Winter Springs to Longwood and finally to Deland in search of the perfect sanctuary.
If you ever have the chance to volunteer at or donate to Patty's Parrot Palace, you will not only have the pleasure of knowing that you've assisted a great cause , you will also know that you've helped one of the kindest people on Earth fulfill their passions of making a difference. What they've done is truly an inspiration and I can only hope that I one day dedicate myself to a noble cause just as they have.
The palace is a wonderful place for the birds, I’ve been Volunteering there for almost 2 years and I still love coming, Trish makes every day about the palace, she only looks to better the palace and the birds.
My wife and I have been contributing and volunteering at PPP for many years. We have seen them grow from a home packed with birds to their beautiful and professionally managed facility in Deland. Their dedication and care for their little charges is an incredible thing to experience.
Patty and her husband have given their lives over to caring for these wonderful birds, many of whom would not have found a home elsewhere. They have overcome so many obstacles in their goal of providing high quality and personal care for their birds. We are encouraged to continue our support for them and urge others to do so as well.
Having COPD, I had to re-home my African Grey. She is 22 years old and I adopted her when she was a very young chick.
After much searching for the right environment, I was told about Patty’s Parrot Palace. I did not want her to go to a home and take a chance that new owner would soon pass her off to someone else... Upon my first visit to PPP, I knew this was the only place I want her to be. What a wonderful environment!!
Patty’s Parrot Palace is everything you could hope for- it is extremely clean, spacious, equipped with everything the birds need and filled with love. Trish and Tony are hands on with the birds, taking time to sing, dance and play with the birds daily. They are fed a very tasty, nutritious diet and thrive by the love and care they are given.
As difficult as it has been without my bird at home, I can visit her on a regular basis and see how well she is being taken care of. Many thanks to Trish, Tony and the volunteers who provide this second chance for these very special birds.
I have been visiting Patty's Parrot Palace for over two years now. It is such a beautiful experience to see how much the birds are loved as well as all the other animals on the farm. They have continually had to expand due to need so the birds will have room to spread their wings a little. The owners really do everything to take care of the animals and you can tell how much the animals are loved. They also have a wonderful group of volunteers who help to spread the love.
I have volunteered and supported nonprofits all of my life. For several years, I even ran one. This one is like no other, and it not only cherishes the folks that support it (hey, if your donation is sustaining, you get to pair your support with a specific bird there. How cool is that!?") but they take nothing for granted. A hands-on sanctuary like this is daily work and its founder, her husband, and the volunteers that work here are passionate about keeping this place healthy and afloat. I will forever be a sustaining supporter of Pattys Parrot Palace.

We have watched Pattys grow tremendously over the past year since they relocated across the street from us in DeLand. It is humbling to see how much work and dedication it takes to run the sanctuary, and often inside-their-home intensive care station.
The dedication of Trish and Tony is reflected in their loving volunteers and the welcome to our family/visitors for occasional educational tours-well that has us convinced its worth our support! It’s so much more than a sanctuary...but a bigger word escapes me
These are wonderful people doing wonderful things to help the birds. I can’t say enough great things about Patty’s Parrot Palace,
It’s rare to find people so committed to something that would take up all of they’re free time and resources. This place cares for each rescue as if they were the only one. It’s always a pleasure go and visit. You definitely don’t leave there feeling bad for any one in the flock. The birds and other animals are happy and thriving in this ever growing and developing environment they call home now. Thanks to Patricia, her husband Tony and all the awesome volunteers she has.

I couldn't be more great full for the team at Pattys Parrot Palace for being able to take my Petey and Blu and give them the attention and care they deserve. Though it was hard to do, it definitely was the best for them. I've since been able to visit and have seen that not only are they healthy but thriving in their new flock community with all the other rescues. The time and dedication this team of animal lovers puts forth is commendable. Thank you all you do.
This is an awesome place! Trish and Tony give so much for these birds, many of them coming from horrible situations and now they can be as much of a bird as they could be with the flight aviaries. Along with giving all of these guys a new life, they give back by offering community service hours such as Bright Futures for high school students.
It takes more work than meets the eye to run this operation, Trish and Tony do it very well and make sacrifices every day so that these animals may have a better life. Thank you

I started volunteering here when I was a seventeen year old senior in highschool. Now I am a twenty year old college student and I am still here! This is a great place! Trish and Tony not only rescue and sanction all of the birds in the palace, but they very positively influence all of the people that are exposed to it. They show heart with the cause that they are behind and if they can do all of this, what can you do?
The love and care that the volunteer team provides to these beautiful birds is amazing. The amount of fresh fruit and seeds that is needed to provide nutrition for the many mouths they house is staggering. It takes a team hours to prepare and provide the meals these birds need to survive. Most of them are from abused or neglected environments and when the Palace staff is called to rescue, there is no hesitation to help. When the bird needs medical treatment, many times the staff has to cover the cost of the care and put out a request and plead for donations in order to keep everything running. The volunteer staff is amazing and I wish I was financially able to give enough to help build new aviaries and provide medical care, so the team can continue to accept birds that need a safe home. Watching a bird transform from their life of neglect into a happy, talkative creature truly tugs at the heart strings and reinforces the desire to continue to help in any way possible.
Such a great organization. The animals are well cared for- Patty is amazing and loves what she does.
Amazing place that cares for birds as well as other animals. The birds are in free flight which is unheard of. They fly free and the care and food is top notch!! I encourage you to go visit. Thank you Patty for all you do for the birds.
I love Pattys Parrot Palace. Everyone there is so welcoming and loving to the animals. I have never seen people have so much compassion towards animals. All of the animals are well taken care. Thank you all for your hard work!
Pattys has continued to be one of the best things in my life. I have been greatly influenced in a positive way by my work with the rescue and by the life-long relationships I have created. The sanctuary is not only a safe haven for deserted, homeless or needy birds, but is also a place for people to have a positive experience. I am extremely proud of my birdy mama.

I cannot even begin to vocalize how amazing Patty's Parrot Palace is for the birds and any people who get to have an experience here. After 2 and a half years, I can absolutely say I am a life member; Trish and Tony have made the most amazing home for over 75 parrots. Any animal would be lucky to have so much love in there life.
The palace has provided the perfect home to Bubbles, Juno and all of the amazing birds that have come through. It is an amazing organization to be a part of and I will continue to remain a permanent part of Pattys.

After adopting Bubbles, it fills me with joy each time I see how improved he is and how great of a life he is living. Trish will always text me if I haven't been by in awhile because Bubbles gets sad and she does her best to keep him satisfied in my absence. It is such a relief since I'm a full-time student and Bubbles has truly become my child. Not only has the rescue grown, but so have I and my heart. Definitely a top rescue and best place for any bird to live out their life. I'm so proud to be a part of this!
The palace provides a top home to relinquished and rescued birds. Amazing organization and amazing people.
Everything about the palace is wonderful. You can tell how much love is given to every bird. She has give all the birds flight again in there new aviary. The palace is a true sanctuary.

I was fortunate to visit Patty’s Parrot Palace for there grand opening. I was beyond amazed at the actual work and dedication that was given to these birds. The world needs more people like Trish and Tony that paid attention to a great need to help protect and save these mistreated and abused animals. I will continue to donate and support them as long as it takes. God bless them and the amazing volunteers that run this sanctuary.
I could no longer care for my parrot after 11 years and thankfully Trish was there. She knows these birds and they all love her!!! I truly think she speaks parrot. I am so grateful to know Azul is happy now with all his friends, and Trish is to thank for that.
I just adopted the sweetest 20 year old Cockatoo from Patty’s! It’s been a fantastic experience and I feel like I’ve made a new friend. Trish is so good with the birds and is willing to be a resource if I need help going forward. All in all a terrific experience!
I had a conure literally drop in on me. Animal control first took him and then they handed him over to Patty's. They were awesome. Had him looked over and worked hard to keep us together. You can really tell they have a great love for thier birds. They were very professional and quick to respond to any questions or concerns. Couldn't be happier. Thank you patty's parrot palace!!
When my grand mother passed away a few months ago I was left with a beautiful Amazon. I tried my best to give her the attention she needed but my efforts were not enough. She ended up plucking her chest. That's when I started looking for help. We found Patty's website and gave her a call. After visiting the facility my mind was at ease. We ended up leaving our Amazon with her and I kid you not with in a week she was able to turn her around and find her a adoption mom. This woman is incredible I'm so happy we found her and I hope more people do.
The Palace is an amazing place. Each and every Parrot is given the best care and attention. Trish and Tony's dedication to the birds is beautiful. I have loved being a volunteer for Patty's Parrot Palace for over 3 years. Every week is something new and exciting with the birds. Percy the eclectus is one of my favorites!! Every week Percy and I have our special bonding time

Patty's Parrot Palace is an amazing local rescue and sanctuary. They provide vetting and care for so many needy birds. Trish takes a personal interest in every bird and welcomes them into their new forever home as part of the family. Their needs are met and exceeded. Love comes from all corners, Trish...volunteers...vets...donors...and more! The difficulties some of the birds have experienced fade away under the care, understanding, and love of those who are part of Patty's Parrot Palace. The fear and dread in owners' hearts at having to relinquish their beloved parrots are soothed and erased by the knowledge that the care and love that Trish imparts will allow their feathered family to be given another chance at happiness.
Great place! They really love the birds and take amazing care of them, no expense is spared for their feathered babies.
I love to come and volunteer at patty’s parrot palace, its really fun and everyone makes you feel welcome even the birds. Yes the birds love to talk to you. If you love volunteering this is the place. I highly recommended this to everyone including my friend.
Patty’s Parrot Palace is a loving, accepting place for parrots and humans alike. I’ve found love there, from animals who have loved touch lives and whose families have given up on them. The owners are amazing people I’m happy to work with who always look after the well-being of their rescues first and foremost. Seeing all the beautiful birds free in the aviary is such a heartwarming experience. It’s been my pleasure to volunteer for them.
Patty’s Parrot Palace the bird really does come first. Tony and Trish have made and continue to make sacrifices to ensure the welfare of the birds. Volunteering has become therapeutic for me and being in the new aviary with the birds is an amazing experience.
The people are great, and the birds are even better. The people I have volunteered with have had hearts of gold especially the lady in charge (Trish). I have learned much about birds as well as what it means to do good.
I just love spending time here with the birds and of course the people! Deciding to volunteer here is one of the best choices I've ever made. Everyone here really loves the birds and it is shown through everything they do.
Pattys Parrot Palace was my last chance to get my Bright Futures hours, and thanks to the great people who work here, I was able to get my hours. The people who work here are nice and generous and definitely improved my time volunteering. The birds are kept in clean, safe, and healthy environments. I always enjoyed coming here to interact with the birds.
Pattys Parrot Palace, a place where these birds can feel loved by Trish, Tony and volunteers who give them much love and unconditional care. For me it was one of the best experiences to have volunteered and to have been part of an incredible team.
Wonderful charity. I made the decision to become a donor when I witnessed the passion and dedication Patty and her volunteers have. These beautiful birds are so loved and cared for, many have been neglected and unloved for so long. It is wonderful to watch how they flourish with the proper care and compassion.
