Review for Patty's Parrot Palace, DeLand, FL, USA
I absolutely love the palace! I have given a home to 3 of their adoptable parrots and I visit regularly to help out. Everyone is so great and the animals are cared for way above average.
Review for Patty's Parrot Palace, DeLand, FL, USA
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.
