Review for Patty's Parrot Palace, DeLand, FL, USA

Rating: 5 stars  

Although I do not reside in the Orlando area, I had the pleasure of meeting Trish and Tony through some friends of mine that volunteer with them. All it took was a couple of hours for me to conclude that this couple is absolutely dedicated to ensuring the well-being of the parrots they foster in their own home. Trish and Tony, along with their committed volunteers, take the time out of their demanding schedules to properly care for every single one of these birds; this entails – but it not limited to - cleaning their cages, bathing them, letting them roam around to get some “exercise”, or even simply talking to them to see if they’ll sing in response. These may seem like minor duties but they become time-consuming when there are literally over 40 birds to be taken care of. Moreover, these parrots are cared for in Trish and Tony’s own home so they are basically the equivalent of this couple’s children. Nonetheless, the passion that everyone in this organization exhibits while tending to these parrots is more than commendable and the environment is amazing. They are so welcoming to any new volunteers and will do everything they can to make you feel comfortable and like you are a part of their family.

If I had to make changes to this organization, I would...

have a separate area built (outside of the home) for the birds.
