Our Mission
The Wilson Parrot Foundation is dedicated to rescuing,
rehabilitating and re-homing neglected and abused Parrots. Our mission is to teach
the public about having parrots as pets and how to provide for them with caring
and compassion.
The WPF
will continue traveling to shows and events all over the east coast to raise funds
and educate people about care and committment to tropical birds.

Sponsorship Opportunity
We hope you all are planning a wonderful
holiday season with your families. We have an opportunity to
help us out and
to have a gift of thanks for yourself or your special someone.
If you'd like
to be a "local volunteer" for our foundation, we'd like to help. With your
contribution of $100 or more, we'd like to send you a "Wilson Parrot Foundation
Volunteer" shirt to wear around your neighborhood to show your commitment to rescue
and rehabilitate Parrots. Just let us know the correct size and we'll send
it out.
"We received our shirts today! They are quite
colorful! one is a conure green and the other is a parrot orange. The
shirts themselves are of high quality material that I am sure will withstand many
"beakings" from our little flock. We will wear them often!

Update***Farm Fundraiser Picnic
The Farm Fundraiser was a day
of fun! Thanks to everyone who joined us and heartfelt thanks to those who
donated to help the Wilson Parrot Foundation birds!
We want to thank everyone for
coming to our fundraiser. We made almost $14,000 but we're still a very long way
from being able to buy a new property. It's a very big step and we're really
happy that so many of our friends were able to attend our "kickoff" Remember
that this was only a "KICKOFF" and we'll be aggressively trying to raise
funds over the rest of the summer and fall. Once again, the temperatures are not
cooperating with our efforts. We haven't been able to get down to Old Towne,
Alexandria as much as we'd like and we're behind on donations for the year.
Since we're stuck inside all winter, we need to keep our fingers crossed that
July, August and September cooperate this year!! Thanks again for all your
support!
Wish List
There have been people asking us why we don't have a wish list on our web site to
give people an idea of the items we need to care for the birds. So here is
our list:
- Safeway gift cards to buy fruits and vegetables
for the birds
- Medium to large parrot toys
- Cage liners
(cage catchers) of many different sizes
- Medium size
RoudyBush pellets
- Home Depot
or Lowe's gift cards for supplies
- Petco or PetSmart
gift cards for supplies
- We are still
in desperate need of a late model, full size transportation van
- Funds to build
a third Aviary
- Funds to someday
buy a farm so we will not have to turn away any more mistreated, neglected or unwanted
parrots.
Please
to help the birds of the
Wilson Parrot Foundation. |
Thank you Cage Catchers!
The Wilson Parrot Foundation residents, from
the smallest parakeet to the largest macaw, enjoy a clean, fresh-white cage bottom
liner in their cage pretty much every time the
paper is soiled. The birds and the volunteers enjoy freedom from scattered bedding mess, soggy papers, fungi
contamination and other unsightly, unsanitary conditions. Click the logo below
if you are interested in ordering your own Cage Catchers.
