For Adults Only.

  Upon many occasions our exotic bird rescue brings in simply amazing birds that are relinquished to M.A.R.S. for future adoptions. Such is the case with our Umbrella Cockatoo pictured here. His name is Marchello.

  We had high hopes for him to become a favorite addition to a loving family. He has all the amazing qualities a really good Cockatoo should have.  He however has one giant flaw, he does not like children or any version of them including teenagers. So with that said we here at M.A.R.S. are looking for adults only to give this bird the home he so deserves.

  Melbourne Avian Rescue Sanctuary as you all know by now is a no-fault rescue. This policy has allowed our Florida Parrot Rescue M.A.R.S. to learn through Marchellas’ prior adoptions that this amazing avian will do well and be a loving addition to an adults only household.

We are very happy to report that Stewie and Angel Eyes who replaced Marchella  in those families with children, are doing very well indeed.

Here at our exotic bird rescue known simply as M.A.R.S., we make it our highest priority to make this decision to adopt a very successful and wonderful experience for all.  To those of you who understand that adoption is the only way to go, we thank you all !!!!!!!!!!!!

Please continue to support our cause by adopting, donating or becoming a member. And please pass the mission of M.A.R.S. to all who seek an exotic bird as their pet of choice.

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

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.

YARD SALE yeilds much needed funds for M.A.R.S.

Melbourne Avian Rescue Sanctuary wants to thank all who participated in making this sale a success. Those of you who helped are the backbone of any rescue organization. For those of you who came out and spent some money, we hope you enjoyed the sale.

Funding for exotic bird rescue is virtually non existent, so these sales are needed to keep funds available for feeding, operation, and numerous other necessities and expenses associated with a rescue.

Please continue to support our cause. Donate online, attend our future sales, become a member, or become a volunteer. Thank-you to all.

Oh, and as all our batteries need recharging just as the cameras does, pictures will be posted on our Facebook page, Florida Parrot Rescue M.A.R.S. later today. Please make sure to take a look.

New arrival to M.A.R.S., and he is grand.

   Our newest arrival, Winston, a Grand Eclectus, was relinquished to Melbourne Avian Rescue Sanctuary on Saturday.

   Winston was immediately given a beak trim, as the length was about to the bottom of where his head feathers are. A bath soon followed to access the feather issues.

   Turns out he enjoyed the entire process, and immediately went to everyone as if to say thank-you.

  Winston will be available for adoption here at M.A.R.S. as soon as he completes his rehabilitation period. Stay tuned for updates.

    M.A.R.S. relies on your donations to continue the work we do here. Please consider a donation to our cause.

YoHo, a Pirate ship anyone?????

 

Yes, a true Pirate ship it is!!!!!!!!! The creation of Captain Daniel Red. Her name is Calyspo, and she is an amazing vessel to be sure.

Calyspo would be a great setting for a fundraiser for M.A.R.S. parrots. Anyone want to help plan one of these events????????? Contact marsparrots@aol.com and lets talk.
