M.A.R.S. updates, just a little news for those who want to know

April 30, 2009 By Leave a Comment

First, remember Founders Day May 2nd, we will not be in the park, we will be in front of Apple Spas on Ocean Avenue. This will be a membership drive. Please join the fun!

Second, the name chosen for our new quaker is Chomp. He so lives up to the name. His friend will be called Bite. Let us know if you can guess why!

Third, many events have taken place recently, yard sale fun and fund raising, another interview by Florida Today at the Melbourne Art Festival. We also have new members who joined our M.A.R.S. avian crew. And best of all there will be field trips from local schools to visit the parrots of the Melbourne Avian Rescue Sanctuary.

Keep updated by subscribing to our e-mail newsletter on the homepage of MarsParrots.org!

Bird of the week, not Lucky Baby, help M.A.R.S. give him a name

April 3, 2009 By 6 Comments

This is one of two new members of the Melbourne Avian Rescue Sanctuary, he certainly gives our recently adopted Quaker Lucky Baby a run in the cuteness department. 

Help the Florida parrot rescue organization M.A.R.S. give him a name, let us here from you in the comments below. We will post the results in our blog.

Remember all parrots need a good bath or spray on a regular basis – and help to improve their lives by making a donation. Their appreciation will be very obvious.

P.S. Big thanks to Rene for the amazing art work (pictured above). It made the sign pop.

Bird of the week: Clyde

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

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

Isn't she cute?

Isn't she cute?

Lucky Baby decided to make good use of the outside watering stations. Somehow she decided a bath was way more fun than a simple drink of water.

Fortunately for all of us we got a series of great pictures!
