I have been a member of The Parrot Posse since before it went to Facebook in 2012, and before it became a Registered Charity. I have donated cash and participated in many of its fundraisers. I have worked directly with the Board and the Boss to ensure accurate financial accounting. And I have seen the HUGE amount of work it takes to identify organizations that truly need help, figure out what they need, and spend the groups' funds in the most cost-efficient way possible. I have watched the leader of the Posse build relationships with vendors so as to get the best prices and their product donations when possible. All of this has benefited hundreds and hundreds of birds across the USA.

I've been working as an admin and bookkeeper for the Parrot Posse for the past 8 years or so. This gang of people have been so generous, so caring, it often chokes me up. It's a lot of work keeping track of the parrot welfare community, emergencies, responding to input, running fundraisers, chasing the money, and placing the orders, but somehow we keep it going. I know that a great deal of good has been done and I'm proud to be a part of it.

Our rescue, Papayago Rescue House, has been supported by The Parrot Posse for years now. We have been extremely fortunate every year for their gift of knowing when we needed food, nuts, toys, carriers, extras. Friends to anyone who truly does well by parrots, The Parrot Posse has been there for us when we needed extra help by way of emergency cages, heat boards, etc when others have not, when donors couldn't meet the need, when times were hard. It isn't how you do when things are going well, it is how you do when you are needed at that moment. They were there. We are grateful and thankful for their assistance and support.

The Parrot Posse is a wonderful group the helps by providing food, toys and supplies to parrot rescues and assisting humane society and animal control when seizures occur due to hording and animal abuse situations in the US. The Parrot Posse operates with no overhead except filing the required paperwork and feed to maintain its 501c3 status and the board of directors are unpaid volunteers. Funds are all via donations from supporters.

We are so grateful and very honored to be a recipient of the generous donations from this wonderful Non Profit. Over the years we have received so many wonderful gifts from this group, such as cages, toys, food, medical supplies, and more. They work directly with many wonderful vendors like A&E cages, Harrison Bird Food, Caitec, and many more professional organizations that have trusted them to distribute items at cost, below cost, or free, to rescues and sanctuaries, as well as vet clinics, and animal shelters. They are a 501c3 recognized IRS Non Profit, and are run by a professional Board of Directors. Their Facebook group is a great place to go to view the great work they do, and see all the help they give to so many organizations. The photo I posted is of the most recent food donation they have given us. We are truly blessed to have this amazing group support us.

Ginger's Parrot Rescue is a 501c3 Non-Profit located in Casa Grande, Arizona and specializes in smaller parrots with a capacity of 85. The largest we take in is African Grey size, and the smallest is finch. In order to care for all these birds we rely on donations to provide the necessary funding. Sometimes, there just isn't enough coming in. That's where The Parrot Posse comes in and rescues my rescue! They provide the birds here with great food, toys and supplies that help us keep going! They work with vendors that have a heart for parrot rescues too, like My Bird Store! I can't say enough about all they have done for our rescue. Thank you Parrot Posse!

One of the BEST run nonprofits I have ever seen. There is virtually no overhead, meaning that whatever people donate is spent on supplies to help birds in need across the country. The invoices for goods purchased and sent out are always posted. They have worked on building solid relationships with vendors and that only makes donations stretch that much further. Additionally, they have the very best auctions -mostly parrot-themed- and everything is high quality.

I can't begin to say how grateful I am for all the help I received from the Posse, in my 30 years of parrot rescue. They supplied me with food, toys, and even Austin air cleaners, that helped me work with and care for the birds, for as long as I did. I will also continue to support this great organization for as long as I can. Many times I have seen these people make the difference between life and death of parrots that were victims of natural disasters, or seized from hoarder and filthy back yard breeder situations, and they continue to support these birds until they are safe and sound in their new homes. This is a top notch and honest all volunteer organization, that doesn't use the funds to pay a CEO, so all goes to the parrots period.
They are also very transparent with where the money goes, by showing receipts for each purchase. If you own a parrot, and are aware of the dire straits, that way too many parrots are forced to endure, THIS is the place to donate, no matter how small the amount, to help them live a life that they so deserve.

I support The Parrot Posse because they are the first to respond to parrots in need. The Lahaina fire is a perfect example. Large cages, food, and toys went sent as fast as humanly possible. And thanks to great networking, many of these products were donated by the companies that make them. I'm proud to be a part of this group with my donations.

It has been three years since I last published a review for The Parrot Posse and as a Board Member, Donor and Volunteer I have watched the Posse go through thick and thin to carry out it’s Mission. In most recent times the Posse has participated in sending relief in the form of food, cages, perches and toys to victims of Hurricane Ian and the catastrophic fires in Maui,HI. Additionally, The Parrot Posse supports dozens of 501c3 nonprofit organizations as well as current Animal Control seizures and catastrophic events. Our focus is always on the welfare of companion birds across the United States.
We pride ourselves on compassion, transparency and dedication to our Mission of making the world a better place for our beloved feathered ones!!!
I would like to add that were it not for our caring and dedicated Members, it would not be possible to accomplish our goals. Our Members are our backbone and we are grateful for each and everyone of them!!!

The Parrot Posse is a remarkable group of people who have been brought together by their love and concern for our feathered loved ones. As a supporter, donor, “Parrent” and now Board Member, I have the opportunity to participate in supporting many avian rescues and sanctuaries, as well as governmental animal welfare agencies throughout the country.
On a day to day basis and in emergency situations the Posse provides help with cages, perches, food, toys, veterinary care and special needs equipment to first responders and caregivers. Additionally, there is ongoing assistance for selected rescues and sanctuaries.
The Posse strives to carry out its administrative and service functions with the highest level of honesty and integrity. The administrators provide total financial transparency, as well as detailed accounts of the avian rescue services provided to its beneficiaries. Additionally, the Posse is a totally volunteer group, with no overhead expenses. All expenses are born outside of donations and every dollar donated goes direct to the benefit of the birds. The Parrot Posse’s function as a provider of support to the hands on rescuers and caregivers is somewhat unique and is of the utmost necessity to meet the needs of the avian world. Thank you Posse for giving me the opportunity to be a part of your awesome mission.

Parrot Posse is one of the most transparent and honest organization I have ever volunteered for. It’s Sheriff and founder spends untold hours searching for the best deal on supplies as well as donating various unique parrot items she has collected over the years to help raise funds for Posse. She does this with NO financial compensation. I also have helped with the fund raisers and donated my unique toys for the auctions. All of the funds raised go to helping birds. Details of what was donated, to whom, and at what cost are regularly shared on the Posse’s Facebook page and are account for with bookkeeping and 990’s filed yearly.

The Parrot Posse does a superior job in thoroughly looking at each rescue and sanctuary it provides support to in making sure it is a real rescue or sanctuary and not a parrot flipper or hoarder hiding behind the name rescue. People donating to the Parrot Posse can be sure their donation goes to real parrots in real rescues and not some parrot flipper or hoarder or other undesirables.

I've been a member of the Parrot Posse for some years now. I've donated both funds and auction items over the years. I've also been a volunteer at a parrot sanctuary in St. Paul, MN for about 12 years and the Posse has been sending food, toys, and supplies for as long as I can remember. I feel good about donating as I know the Posse gets the most bang for the donated buck in searching for sales, using points, etc. We are just one of the places that has received help from the Posse. It has ALWAYS been transparent in accounting for funds. It has benefitted countless birds in need.

I so wish I knew about The Parrot Posse before the past several years as I would have donated to them vs private entities I knew little about.

Within hours of many emergency situations Judith Richmond Archer and other Posse volunteers are working on getting supplies out to places in need. Often these are private seizures of birds and must go to animal shelters not equipped with supplies for any birds. At the time of a seizure we don’t know exactly where supplies are going; but as soon as authorities make the seizures public every receipt and all of our donations are accounted for.

At some time or another many members have personally witnessed the horror of these situations and would prefer to prevent them; but often legally we can’t, so we do what we can to help the birds and to help those needing help caring for the birds.

I can’t thank the Posse Members, Judith and other volunteers who make this organization work and for other members for stepping up when the group is in need of funds to help birds in need.

I very much wish the absolute absurd, useless, ignorantly filed lawsuit by an angry New Jersey Resident who makes money OFF of birds vs purely helping birds in need didn’t take so much of Judith’s time, energy and resources, as who knows how many birds suffered purely because of this New Jersey bitter bird store owner and her incompetent attorney.

I am proud to donate to The Parrot Posse and I am so very proud of all the great work the Posse does to help those parrots in need.

Midwest Avian Adoption and Rescue Servies (MAARS) is a sanctuary in MN housing birds deemed "unadoptable" due to medical or psychological reasons. Therefore, our long lived residents are here for life. The donations we've received from The Parrot Posse of both toys and food over the years greatly improve the lives of our precious flock and our bottom line. The founders and members of this organization have also helped many parrots in other rescues, as well as some taken in across the US in hoarding situations. We greatly appreciate all the help we have received and the compassion and generosity they have shown for parrots in need elsewhere.

Hi, all you interested folks. I have been a Posse member for more than 25 years, since before it had an official name and logo. I am lucky in that I have never needed Posse support, but I have contributed more than I can calculate. The Posse donates food, cages, toys, and veterinary care to sanctuaries, rescues, and animal control offices across the US. By using sales, specials, gift cards, and rebates, plus developing strong relationships with vendors, the donations that come in to Posse coffers are approximately doubled in the value that goes out.

The donations are accounted for, the expenditures are posted, taxes are filed, 501c3 forms are kept up-to-date. The members of the Posse are kept “in the loop” on all financials. I have never regretted one penny I’ve donated, and I know that the amounts I have donated when added to the other donations have multiplied and helped many parrots in situations I would never had heard of.

The Parrot Posse does good work by aggregating many small donations, working with vendors for donations and discounts, and using promotions to help parrots in distress across the US.

I have been donating to the Parrot Posse for several years now. They help Parrot Rescues across the country with badly needed funds so they can save parrots rescued from sometimes horrible situations. Some of the worst situations they cope with are people that are hoarding parrots and they cannot care for them - the parrots are sometimes sick or dying and in horrible conditions. Of course not all surrenders are because of this but because people have situations that come up and cannot care for their bird any more, either from death or illness. Parrots can live as long as a human in many cases and over the course of a human's ownership, circumstances happen and they need to surrender their parrot. This causes huge demands on the financial resources of parrot rescue organizations. This is where the Parrot Posse comes in because they have a network of people across the country that can donate to their fundraising. The Parrot Posse then distributes funds and supplies to the rescues.

I have been a member of the Parrot Posse Facebook group for many years now. I totally support the work the non-profit does in supporting rescue organizations for parrots as well as providing support to local shelters when birds are seized from abusive or neglectful situations. Having earned the respect of many suppliers over the years, the Posse is able to stretch donated funds to get the most “band for the buck” in providing food, toys, and cages to organizations who are on the front lines in providing for the welfare of parrots.

I think everyone knows that there is a plethora of dogs and cats in shelters awaiting homes, but few realize the plight of parrots. Unlike dogs and cats, parrots can live many decades, often outliving their original “owner.” They also require a lot of attention. Many who are initially énamourés with having a parrot, find that the bird is too demanding, too noisy, too messy, or just too much. Those birds often end up in rescues (unfortunately some just end up relegated to a back room, garage, or closet—essentially putting a long-lived, highly intelligent creature in solitary confinement with little to no human interaction and usually no toys or puzzles in the cage.)

The Parrot Posse steps in to provide needed items when the rescues’ resources are challenged.

It is the most transparent and honest organization I have ever encountered. It’s founder spends untold hours searching for the best deal on supplies as well as donating various parrot-centric items she has collected over the years to help raise funds for Posse. She does this with NO financial compensation as do all others who help with the Posse’s fundraising, record keeping, etc. One hundred percent of funds raised to helping birds rather than paying anyone working for/with the organization. Details of what was donated, to whom, and at what cost are regularly shared on the Posse’s Facebook page.

This organization is the first one I donate to—often the only one. In recent, more frugal years, my financial donations have been smaller and less frequent than they were before, but I still find ways to help.

The Parrot Posse does amazing work to help birds in need. It is not a rescue, but instead supports rescue organizations as well as local authorities by providing needed food, toys, and cages when needed. When hurricanes have left parrots with no safe place to be, the Parrot Posse has stepped up to help. When hoarding or the disability of caretakers has resulted in seizures of birds, the Posse has stepped up.

No one involved with the Posse is paid for their services. The founder works hard to get discounts and donation so that every penny contributed to the organization is pinched until it squeals! And every transaction is transparent. Money is raised; it is used to purchase items that are shipped to help parrots, and then the purchases and shipments are carefully documented to anyone who chooses to follow the Posse’s activities. It is without a doubt one of the two most selfless and ethical non-profits I know of. The other is very, very small.

For a number of years, I was a keyworker with the Combined Federal Campaign. From that work, I know that there are many non-profits that actually use only a very small percentage of their receipts in direct furtherance of their non-profit purpose. The Posse uses 100% of its receipts in direct furtherance of its purpose.

I am proud to be a supporter of the Parrot Posse and its work. I wish all non-profits used the contributions received as thoroughly and efficiently as does the Posse.

Iowa Parrot Rescue has received tens of thousands of dollars worth of donated food and supplies from the Posse, and has been a beneficiary of their generosity ever since their founding. Their accounting is accurate and transparent, and their operation is ethical. Negative reviews are counterfactual, and are coming out of a personal conflict that has nothing to do with the Posse's operations.

I support the Posse because they help birds in need. Ever see a horrible hoarding story, or one about someone abusing animals? Chances are the Posse has too and after reaching out to the shelter holding the animals to find out what is needed, whether it’s food, cages or toys, and sent it. A shelter or foster gets in a sick bird needing expensive medical care, the Posse is there to help with the vet bills.

I’m proud to have donated to Parrot Posse. I live in GA and the Posse helps several local parrot rescues that I also donate to. PP does great work helping support and supply parrot rescues across the country. Unlike dog and cat rescues/shelters, pet parrot rescues/sanctuaries don’t get much press/PR and so can lag in public support. Parrot Posse helps by giving food and supplies where it’s needed most, especially for rescues that are struggling to support sudden intakes of large numbers of birds from hoarding situations or other types of seizures. Parrot Posse’s help can be critical in these situations.

As both a member and a volunteer for The Parrot Posse for nearly 10 years I can attest that this nonprofit helps birds across the country by donating food, birdie bread, toys, cages, Austin Air, and other needed supplies. I’ve been privileged that my toys have been a favorite and have brought in much needed dollars during the auctions.

Almost all the money taken raised has gone directly to help birds. The administrative costs are minimal since the admins donate their time.

Judith our sheriff searches for the best deals and sales to make sure every last dime of donated money is stretched to buy the most supplies to help birds in need. Many of the items for our auctions are donated from around the world.

Thousands of birds and exotic rescues have been helped over the years thanks to the generosity of the Parrot Posse group.

The Posse helps with parrots and birds that have been rescued from abusive conditions all over the country. A few years ago, we had a large seizure of birds here on LI from a 'rescue' that had over a 1,000 birds kept in filthy trailers and sheds. The local ASPCA seized the bird and the Posse donated food, toys and cages for the care of the birds. I will be forever grateful to the posse for the help they gave to the birds of Huntington, NY.

They post every invoice for proof of what was ordered and who it is going to. A lot of the rescues depend on this charity to survive in this day and age. Any negative reviews there are that are posted are individuals that have been recruited by a business owner and are not true accusations. Parrot Posse can be contacted to answer any questions.

I have been a member of The Parrot Posse for several years. They do excellent work supporting reputable parrot rescues all across the lower 48 USA states. They are scrupulously honest, and transparent about how the funds we, the members raise, is spent to help birds in need.
I’m proud to be a part of this caring group of people, who are dedicated to improving the lives of parrots in need. A mention on the negative reviews recently posted about The Parrot Posse, they are a few people with a petty grudge, who should find something more constructive to do with their time, like supporting good rescues, as the Posse does, rather than trying to run down a wonderful organization.

The Parrot Posse goes above and beyond to provide support to parrot specific rescue organizations who by and large, receive less funding and attention, in comparison to dog and cat rescues (who also need funds, but have a higher profile for fundraising). The Posse has miniscule administrative costs, so the majority of the fund raised by its members, go directly toward its mission, providing needed food and supplies to reputable parrot rescues across the nation, allowing them to stretch their tight budgets to care for the parrots in their care. The Posse also assist in providing food, supplies, cages and advice on parrot care, when requested by animal control departments, when parrots are seized in cases of extreme abuse and neglect. The Parrot Posse fills a critical niche in ensuring that rescued parrots receive the care they need.

I'm proud to have been a donor to the Parrot Posse for several years. They support established rescues all over the country and help other organizations that have to take in birds due to extreme hoarding/neglect cases. They have always been upfront is sharing the amount of donations raised and share the amount going out with invoices. Recently when funds were needed for legal defense, donors were told upfront what was needed so we could make the decision whether we wished to donate. This is by far the most transparent organization I have ever donated to.

I'm a little surprised by some of the other reviews here mentioning they are behind on filing taxes? They are a nonprofit organization that is required to file the 990 form annually. I went to the IRS website and was able to find all of their 990 returns through 2021 as expected.

In cases of hoarding or natural disasters, everyone pitches in to help dogs and cats, parrots are often forgotten.
The Parrot Posse is there to send food and supplies to help parrots in those situations and also to reputable parrot rescues. All donations are accounted for with full transparency.

The Parrot Posse is a wonderful non-profit that helps birds all across the country by donating food, toys, cages and other supplies. One hundred percent of all money taken in goes to help birds. There are no administrative costs since the admin donate their time. They search for the best deals and sales to make sure every last dime of donated money is stretched to buy the most supplies to help birds in need. The Parrot Posse has auctions throughout the year with all items donated. Administrators even use their own money to buy unique items to put in the auctions. Thousands of birds and their owners have been helped over the years due to the generosity of this amazing group.

As a small parrot rescue in Northern Lower MI (Gaylord) we have been supported many times by the Parrot Posse, with donations of air cleaners, filters for the cleaners, and food, nuts and toys for the parrots in our care. We are very grateful and humbled by the generosity shown us, for the parrots, and I can't begin to tell you, what a positive difference this has made in the quality of their lives. This is one great and transparent organization, that depends on donations from caring people all over the U.S. and beyond. There is no greedy CEO or Chairperson, grabbing up funds for their own use, this is an organization that selflessly uses 100% of the donations for parrots in need, no matter how large or small the need may be. This is so refreshing in this day and age. Thank you so much for helping us continue to do what we do, caring for the surrendered, unwanted, and often abused and neglected parrots. Please know that any and every amount donated helps, even $5. or $10., as it all adds up, and helping a caged animal to a better life, is so rewarding.

While I am fortunate enough to not have had to be a recipient of the immense generosity of TheParrotPosse I know those who have.
Their work benefits birds all over. Birds taken from horrendous environments (feces filled cages, no food/water, rodent and insect infestations and worse).
Birds that ended up in rescues/shelters, or that were in bad situations due to natural disaster (wildfire, flood, hurricane).
The Posse members give generously in many ways including straight donation, opportunity drawings, purchases from vendors who "pay it forward".
The Posse uses 100% of the donated funds/materials for direct care to many birds all over the country.
I support TheParrotPosse 100%.

This amazing group of people has been helping parrots more years than I can remember. Before there was the posse, there was a network of people finding ways to improve the lives of parrots. They shared veterinary resources, helpful tips, recipes, toy safety, and called on each other for assistance in times of emergencies. They helped this sweet girl find a permanent home with us about 20 years ago. They heard this bird had been bounced around from place to place. After suffering a broken wing from being housed in a cage far too small for a macaw, she found another home but they couldn’t keep her. I was nearby and had a cage available so….she’s been with us ever since. A busy, funny, happy, and healthy bird! Any parrot that is touched by the Parrot Posse is one lucky bird.

The Parrot Posse has been helping parrots since long before it became an official 501©3. The welfare of parrots has always been the number one mission of these folks. Unlike dogs and cats, parrots require a different set of care conditions and not all animal control first responders have a lot of experience or items on hand suitable for their needs. The Posse researches, reaches out to supply partners, qualified veterinarians, facilitates the foster process, and finds the best possible ways to help. Over the years, I’ve donated, advocated, and even adopted. They are 100% transparent with donations and purchases. They’ve worked hard to build a network of avian-related partners who step up time and again to help parrots in need.

The Posse has helped countless numbers of rescues during times of distress and in normal times and I'm always in awe of their ability to find the right things and get them there....

I myself am grateful to have have received help from them a few times. One such notable time was for my large flock of birds that largely are unhandleable after a devastating health issue that sent me to the hospital for 10 days and changed my life. They sent food so we didn't have to worry about feeding them during my recovery and trying to sort out the hospital bill.

More recently I was contacted by a friend who has been displaced by a fire and her two birds wound up here as fosters. They will be going back, but nothing came with them (cages/toys/ perches food anything) Their home was a total loss. When I contacted The Posse they didn't hesitate to say "yes" to a simple request of a few toys! I'm so thankful that again they've helped.

I'm always in awe of the great work they do.

The Parrot Posse makes a real difference in the lives of parrots across the country, and are amazing to work with. It helps with seizure cases by making sure organizations have the supplies they need to care for birds when an unexpected, large group comes in. It also sends food, toys, and other supplies regularly to parrot non-profits who need them to care for the birds in their adoption or sanctuary programs. They listen to what organizations need for the birds in their care, and then help by providing it. I not only am involved in an organization that receives support from the Posse, but I personally am a supporter of the Posse myself, too. I encourage all parrot lovers to get involved in the Posse. By helping the Posse, you help countless organizations that are out there helping birds. Together, we can help more birds. Thanks!

Over the years, the Parrot Posse has donated THOUSANDS of pounds of nutritious parrot food, toys, enrichment items and aviary supplies to Noah's Ark Animal Rehabilitation Center & Sanctuary, Inc. in Locust Grove, GA. Providing a top of the line forever home for our 300+ rescued parrots means offering them a variety of premium foods ($$$) and plenty of opportunities to interact with their environment through enrichment. WITHOUT THE SUPPORT OF THE PARROT POSSE, WE COULD NOT RESCUE AND PROVIDE OUTSTANDING CARE FOR THE VOLUME OF PARROTS THAT WE DO. Furthermore, the Parrot Posse is impeccable with their finances. Operating a nonprofit myself, I know the careful, constant effort that is required to maintain squeaky clean financials and how important this is for long term success. The Parrot Posse's financials are more transparent than any nonprofit I know of, which is why I personally donate to them as well! They are truly a champion for the thousands of parrots rescued from abuse and neglect in this country.

Without Judith Richmond Arther's advice more than 25+ years ago, I would never have been able to rehab my very first harlequin macaw. Such a traumatized bird, removed from a horrible hoarder home. Judith gave me the advice and more importantly, the confidence to manage a very difficult bird. I still have Jack, the harlequin macaw and we muddle through life. She's pretty funny and hysterical. She ad libs comments to conversations that are relevant and on topic. But Judith was our first saving grace, telling me I could do it, even though Jack was my first bird. I guess I'm the testament at how great Judith is at teaching others, because here we are 25+ years later and Jack has her forever home. Without Judith's advice, I might have given up!.

There are alot of happy healthier parrots because of the sacrifice and work of this group.

The Parrot Posse is such an incredible organization!
I am a supporter, donor AND recipient.
I even have a monthly automatic donation set-up.
I have personally witnessed donations at work while volunteering with the Dekalb county parrot rescue effort in 2016.
304 live birds were seized by Dekalb authorities from a hoarder who was arrested and charged with 300+ counts of felony animal cruelty/abuse.
The Parrot Posse immediately had much needed supplies on the way including food, perches, cages, toys, disinfectant, dishes, etc.
I ended up adopting two of the cockatiels from the seizure that I named Mr. Pinky and Fluffy Popcorn.
I included a couple pictures of them.
We can’t thank The Parrot Posse enough for all the support and help! ❤️

I like the way that the Parrot Posse keeps donors informed of exactly where and what their donations went for. Even better, I enjoy seeing the photos of birds, before and after, they were helped by the Parrot Posse. You can donate a little or a lot -- The Parrot Posse will always make the best use of any donation.

What I love best about Parrot Posse is every penny is accounted for, PUBLICALLY. The auction items are always exactly as described, or even better in person. I love knowing that my hard-earned money is actually helping birds and not being used for anything else.

I am a donor and recipient of this organization. As a former active rescue and now Sanctuary we received food, treats, toys and other needed items for the birds in our foster care system and in our permanent sanctuary. The group’s goals are to spread the impact of their effort across the country to multiple deserving organizations and it is amazing to be part of the effort and to have received timely and much needed help myself.

The PArrot Posse is my go to charity for birds. They pool donations and buy needed supplies so rescued birds can be properly cared for. They are totally transparent with how the donations are used. A great resource for the avian community!

I don't know of any other nonprofit that meets the standards The Parrot Posse meets. The Posse is a caring community of parrot lovers, many of whom have been friends for years, who together rise to the occasion whenever there are parrots in need.
None of the money given to The Parrot Posse goes to the organization's directors or president or staff. Everyone working for the Posse donates their time, and all donations go to buy food and toys and cages and vet care for birds in need. They partner with parrot supply companies to stretch every dollar as far as it will go.
The Posse is completely transparent: every dollar is accounted for.
Visit their Facebook page, support them through their auctions or through cash donations.

Parrot Posse and all it’s wonderful members around the world DO MAKE A DIFFERENCE in the lives of birds. It’s the only group I donate to for birds because I know where every penny goes – TO THE BIRDS in need. We get to follow stories of the birds that are helped, see them recover, learn to play and start to live again. There’s nothing better than that!

To my knowledge, The Parrot Posse is the ONLY avian welfare organization whose mission is to assist not only in the event of cruelty and seizure cases but to also provide support to credible and ethical parrot welfare organizations across the country. Our facility cares for 170 parrots and the budget is always tight. The generous donations of food, treats and extras allow us to continue to provide the best of care for our parrots.

This is my absolute favorite charity. Parrot rescue and rehab is the cause I care most about. Dogs and cats have thousands of organizations throughout the US to advocate for them. Parrots don't have this degree of advocacy even though they live longer and turn over from home to home, several times on average, in their long lives. The Parrot Posse combines the power of a handful of very dedicated volunteer leaders, a few thousand supporters who help donate and fundraise, and a network of caring and committed retailers, manufacturers, and other partners who provide steep discounts on parrot cages, food, toys, other supplies, and vet care. Together, we have buying power worth about 3x greater than paying full retail and we use this to provide support and supplies for thousands of parrots who were abused, neglected, homeless, are in rescues, or are otherwise in need!

I’m confident giving my money donations to the Parrot Posse. Parrot Posse is totally transparent with donations showing where every dollar is spent. Posse works with certain businesses that allow the Posse to stretch each dollar given as much as double and triple at times. Posse comes to the aid in times of disaster, during the hurricanes last year they partnered with a birdfood business to deliver and route bird food to those in need! The Posse is always giving and is always at the ready to assist during confiscations. You can support Posse with monetary donations or donate goodies for their many Auctions throughout the year. See Parrot Posse on FB, join us today and help parrots all over the US.

I've been a member of the Posse for a few years, and we as a group accomplish amazing things. EVERY cent donated from online auctions and fundraisers for birds is accounted for, and the donors/recipients/items/winning amounts are always published. There are NO administrative costs - all of the work for donations and bookkeeping (lots) is done voluntarily. Any recipient of food, vet bill coverage, toys, etc., is thoroughly vetted and most also post photos of their birds enjoying whatever is sent to them. If you'd like to be part of a group that really makes a difference, join us and see how the funds really add up to a lot of good work!
