Meet the flock
Each bird in our sanctuary has a story. Many were surrendered when owners could no longer care for them. All of them are home now.
Luna
Quaker/Monk Parakeet · 9 years old·Arrived 2025
Luna was surrendered after his owner moved to assisted living. She spent her first month hiding in the corner of her cage. Today he whistles his own theme and demands head scratches every morning.
Rio
Quaker/Monk Parakeet · 9 years old·Arrived 2025
Rio came to us severely feather-plucked from stress. Two years of patient care, proper diet, and flock companionship later, his feathers are fully grown back and he's the loudest bird in the aviary.
Mango
Quaker/Monk Parakeet · 9 years old·Arrived 2025
Mango was found in a box outside a pet store. She arrived underweight and terrified of hands. She now runs the lovebird flight cage and has bonded with three other lovebirds.
Pudge
Quaker/Monk Parakeet · 9 years old·Arrived 2025
Pudge arrived with four other budgies from a hoarding situation. He was the smallest and most timid of the group. He's now the first to greet volunteers every morning.
Ava
Quaker/Monk Parakeet · 9 years old·Arrived 2025
Ava was imported illegally and confiscated by wildlife authorities. He required a specialized diet and months of behavioral rehabilitation.
Why we exist
Parrots live 20–80 years. Most outlive their owners or become too much to handle as they age. Avians of Hope was founded in 2019 to give these birds a permanent, enriched home — not a revolving door of foster placements.
Species-appropriate nutrition
Fresh chop, pellets, and foraging enrichment tailored to each species' wild diet.
Avian veterinary care
Annual wellness exams, emergency care, and specialist referrals for every bird in our flock.
Permanent placement
No bird is ever re-homed or surrendered. Once a bird joins our flock, they stay for life.
