A Little About The Sanctuary
The Icarus Foundation's Chesapeake Parrot Sanctuary is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization located in Annapolis, Maryland. All donations we receive go directly to the care of our feathered residents.
Upon arriving at our sanctuary, each parrot is given a thorough examination by an experienced avian veterinarian. All of our residents receive fresh diets daily, and loads of enrichment including toys, fresh air, sunshine, and the opportunity to fly. . . and of course, lots and lots of love!
While we have many different species of parrots living here, our primary focus is on providing lifetime care for cockatoos. Cockatoos are arguably one of the most complicated and challenging among captive parrots, and as a result, they are one of the most often relinquished to rescues and sanctuaries. Currently, there is a great need in the US for sanctuaries who cater to the specific needs and demands of cockatoos. Please help us fill that need!
Did You Know. . .?
It has been estimated that as many as up to 40% of captive parrots have some form of undiagnosed heart disease.
