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.

Saturday pics for Sunday viewing, enjoy

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.

Saturdays are officially our adoption days

November 9, 2010 By Leave a Comment

The board members and volunteers of  M.A.R.S.  finally realize that potential adopters must have their own day to visit Melbourne Avian Rescue Sanctuary. Saturday is now officially that day.

M.A.R.S.  almost every day of the week is a working aviary. It is all about the care, feeding and well being of our feathered members. Their needs are above and beyond our highest priority.

Realizing the need to facilitate the adoptions of  many of  the M.A.R.S. parrots, and give the individual attention needed to each prospective adopter, which is not the case on a weekday, Saturday is now adoption day.

All who visit here on a Saturday know that the atmosphere is relaxed and casual. The hard work has been completed, the avian members generally on good behavior, and quality time is available  for all who seek to adopt or simply visit our facility

With that said, our new days for visiting M.A.R.S. are Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Saturday. Remember, only on Saturdays will we be doing adoptions.

If for any reason Saturdays are not possible for prospective adopters than e-mail marsparrots@aol.com or contact us through this site via our contact form. Other arrangements can be discussed.

Birds eye view

September 19, 2010 By Leave a Comment

Never let it be said that the saying “a birds eye view” couldn’t be taken literally. Especially when it comes to the parrots that reside here at the rescue. Take Saturday at M.A.R.S.. There was an obvious contest between Angel and Emily our resident female umbrella cockatoos and our very sweet male umbrella cockatoo Warf. Who could make it to the top of the tree first was anyone’s guess. Who would hold the top of the tree another story. Pictures tell all, Warf was hands down the winner. Emily, took to the lower branches. And Angel settled for the top of the umbrella for her new view of Melbourne Avian Rescue Sanctuary visitors area. Saturday was once again a great day here at M.A.R.S.IMG 2426 IMG 2430

IMG 2450 for the visitors, the volunteers and the exotic birds who reside here at our Florida parrot rescue.

Please if you can consider sponsorship of our resident Angel or a donation to help support all the members of M.A.R.S.

The amazing U2 girls, jealously within the flock

August 29, 2010 By Leave a Comment

It truly is amazing to think that within a group of female U2s’ at M.A.R.S., Melbourne Avian Rescue Sanctuary, there is jealously running rampant.

Take our very own Lilly for example. She will fly and dive bomb only the females if given the chance to do so. If we ever have a question about eye color, male or female, we let Lilly decide. Yesterday, Lotty, a female umbrella cockatoo, showed the same behavior when faced with visitors interested in adoption who came to our parrot rescue. She immediately pushed another female away to gain access to the humans. Emily, the other female cockatoo, simply looked on in dismay at the situation. Perhaps when Lotty has found a new home, Emily will have a chance to find a forever home too.

Please consider a donation to our cause so we can continue finding homes for all the M.A.R.S. members.
