Help Us Give Parrots a Second Chance

For nearly three decades, we’ve dedicated ourselves to rescuing and rehoming companion parrots who have nowhere else to turn. Thanks to supporters like you, we’ve been able to offer second chances and lifelong care to parrots in need, providing them with skilled care, emotional enrichment, and eventually, loving adoptive homes.

As we look toward 2025, we need your support to keep doing what we do best. Every parrot in our care receives tailored nutrition, interactive enrichment, and professional health monitoring to ensure they’re thriving. From those in urgent need of shelter to those waiting for the perfect match with a compassionate adopter, we are committed to ensuring each parrot has a safe and nurturing place to land. This level of care, while essential, is costly, and your contributions make it possible for us to continue our lifesaving work.

Consider making a one-time gift or setting up a monthly recurring donation. Recurring donations are especially helpful because they allow us to budget effectively throughout the year, ensuring we’re ready for every unexpected intake and continuing to provide the very best in parrot care.

Join us in this mission of compassion and second chances. Together, we can transform the lives of parrots in need and help them find safe, loving homes. Thank you for supporting these remarkable birds and helping us build a brighter future for them!

Background Statement

The Gabriel Foundation is a 100% donor-funded parrot welfare organization that has been providing for the complete physical, psychological and environmental well being of the parrots in our care since 1995. Through the education of the public, proper legal documentation, extensive support services, and constant follow-up procedures, we ensure that whether the parrots remain in a sanctuary, in rehabilitation, or are placed into adoptive homes, and that the parrots receive the care so deserved and needed for their lifetimes. The Gabriel Foundation provides for the general welfare of parrots in the pet, avicultural, sheltering, retail and veterinary community by providing accurate, comprehensive and reliable, scientifically based educational materials and resources to the public at large.

With the proliferation of psittacine birds into the pet marketplace, the issue of unwanted birds is rapidly growing. This is no longer one person's problem or even one industry's problem. It speaks to the entire issue of being responsible for anyone and anything in your life for which you have chosen stewardship. All living creatures deserve respect, kindness and the right to have their basic, intrinsic needs met.
