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

A frosty day in a Florida town, Melbourne Beach,what to do??????

December 29, 2010 By 2 Comments

Needless to say the residents of M.A.R.S. woke up to a cold morning. So to put a smile on their faces, warm, buttered zoo pasta from World Market.

Fun pasta

All the parrots had boxes with blankets inside of them to hide from the cold, but the pasta really made them warm on the inside.

The Macaws and Cockatoos along with two Yellow Nape amazons in the outside aviary are now wondering what their next treat will be here at Melbourne Avian Rescue Sanctuary, any suggestions???????

M.A.R.S.Parrots and McKee Botanical Gardens, a great pairing

August 11, 2010 By Leave a Comment

M.A.R.S. and McKee, now there is a recipe for success. M.A.R.S. was invited to do two sessions of summer camp at McKee with the kids of Treasure Coast Elementery School. An amazing place by itself, http://www.mckeegarden.org/ McKee Botanical Gardens in Vero Beach is wonderful to visit. Now add in some great kids and some amazing parrots and well you get the picture. Lorry and Chris Burgr, and two of their fids were the stars of the show. We also brought along Cuddles, Tiki and Stella for the kids to interact with and enjoy. We hope to be invited back. We hope to visit again very soon.
