Center for Avian Rehabilitation & Education

Did you know that for an average population of 75 birds, it takes:

2 hours each day to feed & water and
2 hours each day to vacuum & change papers?

Over the course of a year, that is 1,460 man hours to provide for the minimum basic care of the birds. Add to that rehabilitation efforts, medical attention, socialization, facility upkeep, toy-making, cage-cleaning, home inspections, grooming, and so much more, resulting in even more volunteer needs. Increase the bird population and required volunteer time increases dramatically.

If you are interested in volunteering at CARE, please fill out a volunteer application.

We hope that everyone has a fantastic holiday! Fireworks can be scary to your companion animals. Although the preceding article is geared towards dogs, parrots can also be afraid of these loud, scary noises. Try to keep things as normal as possible and be there for them to reassure them that everything is ok!
