Once again we dodged the bullet, but cleanup goes on an on.

October 11, 2011 By Leave a Comment

Tree debris everwwhereCages got washed downNeeded rearranged anyway

Every time we go through these end of summer storms we are amazed by the power of the wind and rains. We are equally grateful and amazed that we escaped the full force of a hurricane once again.  

Monday as you can imagine was nothing short of a miracle, as all who volunteer here at M.A.R.S. were willing to lend lots of hands to the job of cleaning up.

All the aviary birds on Saturday and Sunday, though frequently getting wet, were making happy sounds. Food and boxes changed out at regular intervals to give them the idea that all was right in their world here at the parrot rescue. If they see calm in their caretakers, they remain calm. Of course some extra special treats never hurt. Bribery is a good thing.

So with that said, we will all get back to the daily running of Melbourne Avian Rescue Sanctuary. The care of the exotic birds who reside here will always be our highest priority.

We once again invite you to visit our Florida parrot rescue on any of our open days.  Come and interact with the Cockatoos, Macaws, Amazons and other species of our feathered friends. If you are considering adoption, this is by far the best hands on experience anywhere.

 We sincerely hope you will all continue to support our cause with a donation, or consider becoming a M.A.R.S. member.  As always, we need all the help we can get.

Sunday morning coffee with some Saturday pics to view.

March 13, 2011 By Leave a Comment

Saturday turned out to be a picture perfect day for visiting M.A.R.S.

We were pleased to have ample help from our volunteers Jane, Linden and Frank. Their amazing team work helped facilitate a quick feed and clean up. This allowed all of us quality time  to spend with our visitors, and provided some  great one on one  time with the cockatoos, macaws, amazons and other avian members who reside here in our Florida Parrot Rescue M.A.R.S.

So have another cup of coffee and view our Saturday the 12th photo album on our Facebook page.

Just a quick note, our new gallery of birds for adoption will be available this week. We will be updating our website. Also visit Petfinder and AdoptAPet.com.

Llilly surveying the property

Every Saturday we have an open invitation to everyone to visit . To meet and greet the avians here for adoption, to cuddle to play to simply enjoy the atmosphere here at our Florida parrot rescue M.A.R.S..

Saturday was a great day for doing just that here at Melbourne Avian Rescue Sanctuary.

The Cockatoos, Amazons and Macaws all had a very play filled day, until the weather got a little cold for some of the smaller residents. Especially Bitsy and her friend Ben two of the rescue birds from Miami.

Check out the full gallery of pictures at Florida Parrot Rescue MARS on Facebook.

Stubbs, do not even try to take this toy

M.A.R.S. HOURS OF OPERATION CHANGES

January 18, 2011 By 1 Comment

m.a.r.s

When you have a set schedule you hope to be able to stay consistent. Unforeseen situations develop however, and have a way of causing change.

Volunteer availability changes. Weather plays a factor. Those who have previously visited M.A.R.S. know we are an outside operation, and we need nice weather to be open.

With that said, this Friday the 21st will be adoption day. Please visit Melbourne Avian Rescue Sanctuary then. If  this is not possible, then special arrangements can be made for another day.

Saturday, weather permitting, we will be open, but do to lack of volunteers our hours will be 1:00 to 4:30.

M.A.R.S. regrets that these changes are necessary. If anyone would like to sign up to volunteer, go to our forms page www.marsparrots.org/forms  and fill out the application. E-mail marsparrots@aol.com, and we will set up an interview. Volunteers are required to scedule two days a week here at M.A.R.S..

Saturday is “Party Day” here at M.A.R.S.

January 16, 2011 By Leave a Comment

Our oldest residents Clyde and Bigbird

Saturday turned out to be the kind of day that both people and parrots pray for. The perfect day to visit with all the M.A.R.S. avians. Watch them get baths, and simply play, play, play. All of us agreed that the cockatoos stole the show. Although an amazon or two tried really hard.

We all want in on the act

our newest Ricco

You could safely say it was a parrot party to be sure. Enjoyed by all who came through the doors of Melbourne Avian Rescue Sanctuary.

Pictures as always tell the story so here are a few to get you started. See all the rest on Florida Parrot Rescue M.A.R.S. on Facebook.

Please don’t forget  that Saturday is also our official adoption day

With a voice as big as the sea, and yes that would be Stella

December 21, 2010 By Leave a Comment

We here at M.A.R.S. had the joy of boarding a truly amazing bird this year.

To experience life with a larger than life bird, one must understand that the vocals of that bird might actually match the size of that bird.

Such was the case with Stella, a big, beautiful, vibrant blue Hyacinth Macaw with a personality to fall in love with and a voice as big as the sea.

So when I say, “Do you hear what I hear”, that would be Stella.

Wishing all a very vibrant and blue (that would be in color only) Holiday Season from all here at Melbourne Avian Rescue Sanctuary.
