The Lily Sanctuary

Parrots are not only beautiful and fun, they are highly sensitive and intelligent creatures. Many prospective owners don't realize that parrots are high-maintenance animals, or that their life expectancy can average 50-80 years, depending on the species. The commitment is enormous, and a few years down the road more and more people are forced to give up their companion birds-- some by choice, some not. The reasons for this are myriad: life changes such as illness, death, divorce, new partners, moves, financial problems, or simply the inability to continue providing the necessary care. Under the best of circumstances, it is a heartbreaking decision that can cause a beloved avian companion to face a bleak and terrifying future. Selling them is an option, one we think should be a last resort. Placing them with a qualified, reputable rescue/sanctuary whose only interest is the bird’s welfare is the humane choice. That’s what The Lily Sanctuary is all about.
