How has the Sanctuary evolved?
We have evolved since our commencement in 1993, to become the largest Parrot Sanctuary in the United Kingdom, providing a safe forever for over 1000 birds. Setting us apart from other parrot rescue organisations, we uniquely offer long-term care within our centre, ensuring that no pet parrots are ever re-homed.
What we want to achieve
Our Sanctuary serves as a secure refuge for parrots and parakeets to spend the remainder of their lives in a setting that allows them to display their natural parrot behaviours.
Our dedicated team of zoo keepers attend to their every need, committed to providing the birds with a high quality of life, including the best possible nutrition, personalised care, and environment enrichment.
Mr. Steve Nichols, BCAv, renowned worldwide for his three decades of expertise in rescuing and rehabilitating parrots, our sanctuary team is ready to assist any parrot in need, regardless of their condition or background.
Our philosophy is to help you with your pet parrot, offering care and support to your much-loved birds within your own home by offering the best support available. However, if circumstances necessitate, we are here to help any species of psittacine, from Macaws to Budgerigars.
What happens during the rehoming process?
Upon arrival at our centre, we create an environment that encourages our residents to live as natural a life as possible, with the ultimate aim of being introduced to a colony setting. What sets us apart from other rescues or sanctuaries in the UK, is our commitment to providing long-term care, allowing parrots to enjoy the outdoors, experience sunshine and rain, and, most importantly, make their own daily choices regarding eating, sleeping, playing, or expressing themselves in whatever way they wish.
Based on our extensive experience, we believe that parrots flourish when given the chance to live as parrots, especially when surrounded by members of their species. Housing over 100 thriving species already in our Sanctuary, we offer facilities unparalleled anywhere in the United Kingdom.
Collaborating with top veterinary surgeons and partnering with the University of Lincoln, we have established the perfect haven for these special creatures. Our focus is on ensuring that all birds at the centre receive exceptional care in terms of housing, enrichment, and nutrition. Whether a parrot prefers solitude, group living, or just wants to sit screaming all day (and believe me they do), we can accommodate their unique needs.
