Our Sanctuary is a life-care facility for captive exotic Psittacines (parrots), although we do accept other captive avian species.  As a true sanctuary, we do not sell, breed or offer birds for adoption.  Some of our birds are physically challenged and require unique living or feeding situations.  Others have been passed from home to home, often being physically and/or emotionally abused, and have become fearful or aggressive. We offer the birds a stable and loving home for the duration of their natural lives. The sanctuary is located on 72 acres in the rural area of Cascabel, in southeastern Arizona. The closest retail services are located 25 miles south in Benson.

We are seeking passionate caregivers who will be dedicated to daily care and provide a deep devotion to the 800 birds who call our place home.
