Favorite Charity: The Oasis Sanctuary

The Oasis Sanctuary is a unique avian rescue and life-care facility, dedicated to providing permanent care, shelter and rehabilitation for companion parrots for which other rehoming options do not exist. In particular it is a refuge for exotic birds such as parrots, cockatoos, macaws and other Psittacine birds – also accepting Passerines (finches/canaries), Columbiformes (doves/fancy pigeons) and other captive avian species. Many of the birds have “special needs”, little or no social skills, or have suffered physical and/or emotional abuse resulting in undesirable psychological behaviors. As a true Sanctuary, The Oasis does not breed, adopt out, sell or trade birds. Once a bird enters the doors of The Oasis, they are guaranteed a lifetime of care and compassion.
