WHAT WE DO Sometimes people buy parrots for the wrong reasons; they look cute, or they can talk, or they're colorful and decorative; Sometimes people's lives change... divorce, graduation, job loss, illness; Sometimes a parrot becomes more than a person can deal with; they bite, make messes and noise, and can be destructive. Sometimes people need to find a new home for a parrot, one where they can be retrained or where their habits won't be a problem, or there's time and space for them. That's when you need to find a rescue or a sanctuary or a rehabilitator. This page is here to try to help. We're located in Eastern Iowa, on the Mississippi River.  If you have a bird that needs a home, and can't find a good one, let us know; we probably know someone near you, or know someone who does. If you're in our immediate area, contact us directly; if you're not, let us know where you are and we'll try to direct you to someone who can help.

IOWA PARROT RESCUE

WE DON'T PAY FOR BIRDS. WE DON'T CHARGE A FEE FOR ADOPTIONS. WE DON'T ASSIST SALES OF BIRDS. WE DON'T SHIP BIRDS, OR PLACE BIRDS AT LONG DISTANCES.

It's with great sadness that we report the death of  Shirley Riccardi on Saturday, May 3.  Shirley was a longtime friend of Abi's and mine, and a generous contributor to Iowa Parrot Rescue. She originated many of our favorite toys. She was a wonderful caregiver to her macaws Pico and Coco. She'll be missed.
