Volunteer Commitment:  We are always in need of compassionate, dedicated volunteers, who are 18 or older, and who can make a commitment of one day a week for at least six months. Reliability is important to ensure our birds receive a consistent high level of care.

Volunteer Duties:

• engaging and socializing
• cleaning cages, changing papers
• washing bowls and food dishes
• measuring and serving food
• providing fresh water

If you have a special skill or you're an expert in any of the following, we could sure use your help:

While these extraordinary animals are challenging and rewarding to work with, volunteering for just 3 to 6 hours, one day a week, can make a big difference in their lives!
