New Partnership with Avian Center for Enrichment

We’re thrilled to team up with the Avian Center for Enrichment (ACE) — a non profit focused on advancing the understanding of bird behavior and compassionate care. Our mission is to help people understand and connect with their birds so they can live together in harmony.

Too many parrots and raptors are rehomed because of behavior or health challenges, or because families aren’t prepared to care for them long-term. We’re here to change that — through education, training, and support that strengthen the bond between birds and the people who love them.

Stay tuned for upcoming joint events, educational programs, and ways you can get involved or donate to support our mission!

Please email or visit Avian Center for Enrichment for more details on how you and your bird can benefit or ways to support us!
