Bitsy tales a close look
Bitsy a Ducorps Cockatoo really got an eye full of herself in the mirror. She stared and stared and made those funny little sounds that only a Ducorps seems to make, as if asking, “Is that what I really look like?”
Well, Miss Bitsy, we here at M.A.R.S., our Florida parrot rescue, are about to try some brand new Harrisons Heal products to see if we can help improve your image.
We will be using two products, Soother a topical spray, along with Bird Builder a dietary supplement.
With the use of these products along with fresh air and sunshine, and some other additions to Bitsys’ daily routine we will hope to see marked improvement in what would other wise seem a lost cause.
Follow Bitsys’ progress with us, sign up for our feed on www.marsparrots.org , and follow us on Facebook, Florida Parrot Rescue M.A.R.S..
Please if you can consider a donation to our cause to help purchase the products needed to continue the rehabilitation process of birds like our Bitsy.

Corene and Rico
Saturday was an interesting and amazing day for M.A.R.S. and a few of our feathered members.
We were invited to attend the RIO premiere in downtown Orlando with our friend Corene Fry. Our job was to meet and greet the movie goers, and introduce then to some amazing exotic birds from our rescue, Melbourne Avian Rescue Sanctuary.
Volunteer Jane Wyman joined in the outing to Orlando, along with Cuddles, the Moluccan Cockatoo, Rico, the Greenwing Macaw and our boarder Stella, the Hyacinth Macaw.
As I always say pictures are worth a thousand words, so view all on our Florida Parrot Rescue M.A.R.S. page on Facebook.
Please remember M.A.R.S. needs your continued support to survive. Please consider a donation to our cause. FOOD COSTS ARE RISING!!!!!!!!
Thank-you for following our adventures, please continue to do so.

Sometimes when you least expect it, the unexpected happens
Bridy and Oz
at Melbourne Avian Rescue Sanctuary. Saturday was such a day.
Everything seemed a little bit to quiet, and you can see why, there was a lot of preening going on.
New arrival Baily, a Lesser Sulfer Crested Cockatoo, was soon to have a new friend Doc, an Umbrella Cockatoo, who not only allowed the preening but introduced Baily to his favorite mulberry tree. They had a fun day together here at M.A.R.S.
Big Bird and Stubbs, well there is no rhyme or reason for that pairing. A Yellow Naped Amazon, and an Umbrella Cockatoo, who knew what great buddies they would become.
Doc and Baily
Then there was Oz, a Moluccan Cockatoo, and the Triton Cockatoo we named Bridy.
Last, but not least Bitsy and Ben, two Ducorps Cockatoos. They are just plain odd all the way around.
Hope you enjoy our Saturday pics from our Florida Parrot Rescue M.A.R.S.. Please consider a donation to support the members of M.A.R.S.. Remember don’t Shop! Adopt!

Kiwi, the eye in the bird carrier
March 31, 2011 By Leave a Comment
Does this seem a strange title for a post? Well not for those who follow us on Facebook, Florida Parrot Rescue M.A.R.S.. We posted a picture and asked what species of exotic bird could the eye peering from the carrier belong to.
For your viewing, Kiwi in her entire form. She is a Camelot Macaw. Please share if you know what the mother and father are.
We hope you will watch Kiwi’s progress with us here at Melbourne Avian Rescue Sanctuary.
We will keep you updated on her feathering progress. Please consider a donation to our cause. We appreciate all your continued support.
Sunday morning Surprise

Coreen Fry and Yamile
Sunday is usually a quiet, calm, very low key kind of day here at our Florida Parrot Rescue M.A.R.S..
This Sunday however, we were treated to a visit from our friend Coreen Fry and her photographer Yamile.
Coreen is assembling footage of exotic birds to be used in a CD she is producing that will be informative as well as entertaining. Look for the CD to be available for sale here on our site www.marsparrots.org in the near future.
In filming this morning we had fun with our frequent flyer’s Keiffer, an Umbrella cockatoo and of course our adorable Miss Lilly a Lesser Sulfer Crested cockatoo. They both preformed admirably for the video cam. They appeared to completely enjoy the whole process which took a little over an hour.
Thank-you to the ladies for a rather noisey but very enjoyable experience here at M.A.R.S. on this picture perfect Sunday Morning. Did I mention the mimosas?
Now it’s back to quiet once again here at our exotic bird rescueand of course bananna pancakes as a reward to all the birds for their cooperation in the making of this video.
Remember, donations are necessary to continue our work here at the sanctuary. Please consider donating to Melbourne Avian Rescue Sanctuary. Thank-you
It’s that time again, food, food, food

As any rescue continues to grow at the rate M.A.R.S., a Florida based exotic bird sanctuary is, we are constantly in need of more food and cages. Please if you have a cage in decent shape contact us. If not consider a donation to help fund a food run or purchase cages. All here at Melbourne Avian Rescue Sanctuary will be forever grateful.
