Bird of the week: Clyde
Clyde provides all of us many moments of joy here at Melbourne Avian Rescue Sanctuary. He is very attached to another forever member named “Big Bird” a yellow naped amazon. They are the best of friends.
He is also the oldest permanent resident of M.A.R.S. On the picture you see him playing like a child in a sandbox. A big shout out to Clyde!

Much awaited adoption news and updates

Sassy protecting and playing in her box
Upon realizing the need to get these adoptions started it occurred to me that posting a picture and story of each adoptable bird was of dire importance. So lets begin. I have also been informed that an energy level tag be placed on each bird so that inquiring adoption applicants can get an idea of what is in store in choosing a certain bird from M.A.R.S. for their home. This system seems to work well with canine sites, and can definitely be applied for avians. The scale we use will be from one to ten, with ten being the most active and challenging. Please note that adoption from a rescue is so very different from purchasing a parrot from a pet store, in that we have the opportunity to know things about the birds personalities that would otherwise go unnoticed. Also about their favorite things to play with their food preferences, their bad and good habits. All things necessary to making a good match. So what do you have to say, blog us or send a comment to www.marsparrots.org and let’s get started. Sassy pictured has an energy rating of five, and is good with adults and children. Adoption fee is $675.00
