The Sanctuary is a safe place for birds that have been abuse or neglected - They are cared for with patience, kindness and compassion. Any one that Volunteers at the Bird Sanctuary will have a rewarding experience that will last a life time.

This is the place to volunteer if you love birds and want to be around people that love birds. I always come home feeling like I made a difference. I'm so thankful that there is such a wonderful place for the birds to call home for a while if not for the rest of their lives.

I have volunteered at other animal resuces and have never seen this high level of love and commitment to the birds in their care. I plan to volunteer here until I am at least 100

I WILL WARN ANYONE LOOKING HERE FOR A BIRD TO BEWARE. THE 501 (c) 3 non profit organization STATUS IS BEING ABUSE AND THE BIRDS NEGLECTED. NO VET CHECK UNLESS FORCED

Everything I was told was a lie. They raised money for birds that never saw any of the money go to them. I was Silly not to have researched this place much more carefuly before taking home a very sick bird that ended up with more vet bill that you can shake a stick at. My best friend had her bird compleatly switched. I was horrified. I have learned my lesson! Always always research and never just believe what you are told up front.

If I could have given a zero as my rating for this rescue I would have, but the lowest rating possible was a one. I cannot recommend this rescue to anyone, not as a place to drop their birds off at or as a place to adopt birds at or as a place to volunteer at. I was a volunteer and a board member with this organization for two years and was forced to leave because birds were not being vetted, they were being sent to highly inappropriate homes and the adoption committee that was supposed to be involved with the decision in placing the birds was non-existent. There was definitely abuse and misappropriation of funding going on as well. This organization has been turned into the IRS and hopefully their 501(c)3 will be removed, but until that time, please be careful.

From the first time I visited the sanctuary I knew I had to be apart of this wonderful place for birds to come when unwanted or when people were unable to keep them. I was so over whelmed with the birds and the staff, they were so loving and caring for the birds needs and they took time with the people who came to the sanctuary. It is a amazing place and all the people involved have huge hearts.

Please BEWARE of this place. It is not a reputable place to volunteer, adopt or surrender a bird. The founders are using money that is donated etc for thier own personal expenses under the guise of the money being spent on the birds. As far as I know NO bird smokes several packs of cigarettes a day!

I rate this place a zero

The people who own and work at this bird Sanctuary show nothing but love and caring for these lost animals. They treat them like their children. In the past year, I saw timely vet visits (sometimes 3 vets at a time from UW school), Frightened, unfriendly birds learn to become pets with lots of patience from these folks hour by hour and day by day. The extreme tasks of cleaning, feeding and caring for all of them being done with humor and kindness daily. Other Humane Societies asking them to take birds for them. This is a quality operation.
The one comment I see on this board over and over, looks like the same person and sounds like sour grapes. The finances are Public and easy to check. There is NO abuse going on at this place.
