Rocky Mountain Parrot was born from a profound love of parrots and the desire to change the world, for the betterment of parrots' lives, whether those parrots live in human homes or the wild.

Captive parrots are intelligent and complex social creatures that still retain the instincts and behaviors of their wild counterparts. They can be long-lived, loud, and messy, with specialized, and often costly veterinary needs. Consequently, many captive parrots are abandoned, neglected, or mistreated, and these birds require our help and support to live healthy, fulfilling lives. 
 

Wild parrots struggle as well. Loss of habitat and poaching for the pet industry puts these wonderful and captivating creatures in peril. Illegal trade and exploitation contribute to the decline of wild parrot populations and can result in severe harm, and often death, to poached birds. Conservation groups across the globe are desperately trying to protect and conserve those parrots left in the wild, as well as their habitat. 

 

Regardless of the circumstances, parrots, both in homes and in the wild, require dedicated humans to help them thrive.

​

• Provide assistance in rehoming or fostering of captive parrots.​​
