We talk all of the time about how important toys are to a parrot's well-being in captivity. In the wild, they are busy all day, procuring food, raising babies, flying, avoiding predators, etc. The relatively safe caged life we provide is boring in comparison! And a bored parrot is more likely to pluck, scream, bite, and exhibit other undesirable behaviors.
Obviously, this does not mean that all undesirable behaviors can be eliminated by adding toys to a parrot's cage! But, toys are an essential part of a happy parrot's life.
Properly caring for so many birds at the Center is very expensive. We have to pay to house (rent, utilities, etc.), feed, vet, and entertain them. The adoption fee we charge does not cover the true cost of maintaining such a facility.
In order to not rely so much on donations, CARE has a retail store stocked with exciting and healthy products for your feathered friends. And, if there's something in particular you'd like us to stock, just ask and we'll see what we can do!
If you haven't been up to visit us recently, we've rearranged some things in order to stock a larger selection of food, toys, perches, and other accessories.
Best of all, all proceeds go directly back into the Center, allowing us to help even more birds in need. Thanks for your support over the years! We couldn't do it without you!
