PROJECT PERRY INC. - THE CENTRAL VIRGINIA PARROT SANCTUARY
Helping birds since 2004
We are a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization dedicated to the rescue, rehabilitation, adoption and sanctuary of parrots living in captivity. We are located on 15 acres in the heart of Virginia. Birds are the third most popular companion animal in the United States and quickly becoming one of the most discarded or unwanted animals living in captivity.
Our mission is to provide a safe place for these birds to go when no other options are available. New arrivals are carefully quarantined and evaluated with an effort to adopt them out to a loving forever home. Birds that are not suitable for adoption are given the opportunity to remain here at the sanctuary in a cage-free flighted environment with others of their kind. The organization also serves as a boarding facility and offers a Lifetime of Care program.
Before bringing a companion parrot into your life please educate yourself. Most parrots do live for a very long time, up to 80+ years in captivity for the larger species. Birds do not belong in a cage for the majority of their life, if at all. Being a cage-bound animal often leads to behavioral problems such as excessive vocalizing and aggression. While many people can care for a bird in captivity, many cannot handle the responsibility within the first few years. Birds are messy, will bite and do vocalize - be prepared for this. If you are capable of properly providing for a bird in captivity, please choose adoption!
