Melbourne Avian Rescue Sanctuary (M.A.R.S.) is a Florida Parrot Rescue non-profit dedicated to the rescue, rehabilitation, care and adoption of exotic birds.

We invite visitors to come and interact with the parrots here at M.A.R.S.. Adopt a bird, support our cause with a donation or become a member! And contact us for more info!
