My Nonprofit Reviews

This beautiful oasis in the countryside pours the heart and soul of their small family into caring for previously unwanted or surrendered parrots. They are always at maximum capacity with cage space and in their avaries, but through miracles, generous volunteers and donors find ways to make their resources stretch to accomodate additional birds in need simply because they care. There are far too few nonprofit organizations like Souzas Sanctuary. They and a precious few others share the enormous responsibility of caring for the abandoned multitudes of these incredible long-lived animals. Too fascinating for their own good, more parrots are bred as "pets" than can be placed in homes willing to happily care for them for 40-80 years. I was drawn to help with the crisis of parrot homelessness after reading several books on the topic and owning a parrot of my own, so I reached out to Souzas Sanctuary about becoming a foster home for their rescues. Souzas was perfectly accomodating to my comfort level with parrots, my ideas, and with my schedule. I am currently a happy foster home to my first rescue parrot. I feel thankful to be doing my part to help feathered souls in need and I and so many others are grateful every day for the work Souzas continues to do. By supporting Souzas Sanctuary, we are not only helping individual parrots. We are helping by spreading the word that parrots do not make good pets, but there are an abundance facing grim futures in need of care and love right now should we choose to help.
