Sponsoring A Sanctuary Bird

 Due to the increase of surrendered birds to Gulf Coast Exotic Bird Sanctuary our resources are stretched to the limit and we need your help in regards to sponsoring an exotic bird.

Sponsoring an exotic bird provides you the sponsor with the joy of sharing in the experience of the care of your selected bird(s) without the responsibility, noise or mess. Sponsors can visit their sponsored birds by appointment.

Sponsoring a sanctuary bird will enable us to take in more handicapped and aggressive exotic birds or birds requiring permanent sanctuary as requested by the previous owners and allow us to build more aviaries. 

Your sponsorship of a sanctuary bird will assist in paying for:

• Hands-on care by a Veterinary Technician that also works for our avian veterinarian
• Daily therapy for injured or previously abused birds.
• One on one time by a trained staff for our birds who require lots of attention.
• Nutritious, well balanced diets.
• Outdoor flights which expose our birds to the natural elements which makes for healthier birds.   
• Medical care by experienced avian veterinarian.

Please see the list below for birds available for sponsorship.

Please note that pictures are taken when the parrots arrive to the sanctuary so most are in the cages they arrived with until they are moved into flights.

We Are Striving To Get Everyone Here At The Sanctuary Into Aviaries. Your Sponsorships Will Help Us Accomplish That Goal.
