They take wonderful care of their birds. The adoption process was easy and smooth and they did a full lab work up to be sure that the bird I was adopting was healthy. Best adoption experience. As a bird owner and veterinarian I appreciate the care that they give to their birds
I have watched this rescue develop and grow. It has a great dedication to all animals with expertise in parrots. They do a great deal of travel, to save all not just popular animals. They talk the talk and walk the walk.
Dr. Burge tirelessly does a lot with little taking care of dozens to hundreds of rescued birds. The community is lucky to have her!
Burge Bird Rescue is a wonderful resource for the Kansas City area animal shelter community. Dr. Burge is always willing to help with advice on birds in need, and transfers birds who show up at the municipal shelters and need special care finding permanent homes. Thank you Burge Bird Rescue!
As a fellow associate veterinarian I commend Burge Bird Rescue for their amazing assistance to needy birds and exotic pets. I follow Dr. Burge’s rescue projects and admire her valiant efforts at rehoming them.
Dr. Burge is the heart and soul of this gold star rescue. She has reached out and helped birds all over the world and inspired many other avian veterinary practitioners, including myself! I'm am constantly in awe of the dedication she has for all birds, and without her and her fortitude and persistence, passion and continued enthusiasm for helping others so many would be in dire straits. I am very thankful for her work, time and knowledge.
Julie Burge and the staff at Burge Bird Rescue work tirelessly to provide a voice for the birds, who are less represented as rescue animals than others. Julie provides a large amount of public education/outreach, veterinary student education, as well as around the clock medical care for these birds. She has braved horrific hoarding and neglect situations, hurricane and disaster response, as well as helping with family emergencies requiring immediate surrender and rehoming of a beloved family member. There is no limit to the passion and the heart at Burge Bird Rescue!
I adopted a Patagonian Conure from Burge many years ago....very sweet bird. Dr. Julie had done EVERYTHING medically necessary for her....and cared for her SO WELL until a proper home (that's me) could be found. This Lady is a dynamo....pigeons, chickens, swans, macaws, finches...it doesn't matter to her WHAT type of bird it is Julie will do the absolute best by them!!! I LOVE Burge Bird Rescue....they could really use some donations to continue their awesome work!!

I'm an aviculturis, I know the hard work it takes to save a sick bird. These folks are truly trying to make a difference.
Burge Bird Rescue is a reputable organization which puts the birds first. I whole heartedly endorse them for their efforts to save these amazing creatures which human's have wrongfully taken from their world.
Julie remains an excellent source of information which she shares freely to anyone. Her exlemplry efforts to save parrots puts her in her own category.
Most amazing, kind, caring bird rescue I have ever had the pleasure of dealing with!!!! Unbelievable compassion and dedication here!
I'm from Canada, but we follow this refuge as an example of a good rescue and sanctuary for birds!! We fully support Burge Bird Rescue online, in person and all media! i
This bird rescue is top notch- certainly one of the best in the nation. The dedication and professionalism is unmatched and the staff and volunteers are incredibly dedicated individuals. Highly recommend.
Julie Burge is a wonderful vet and heads Burge Bird Rescue. She assisted us (Miami Valley Bird Club and Rescue) in a court case that she had to testify on our behalf about exotic birds and their care. Her knowledge in this field, helped us win our court case. We have also worked with her rescue in re homing exotic birds that she needed to place. In both cases, she was very professional and went out of her way to make sure that the birds were well taken care of. This rescue is one we will work with in the future.
