Bird Channel
The web site for Bird Lovers.
Arcadia Bird Sanctuary and Educational Center offers a permanent home for companion birds that are no longer suitable to be pets. Many of Arcadia's residents have been abused or neglected. Others are elderly and deserve a 'forever' home. Some will be adopted to the perfect family. Great care is taken to assure that each bird adopted goes to a suitable home. Arcadia doesn't match strangers to strangers. As much time as is necessary is taken to know each bird as an individual before finding it a home. This helps assure a good match. To further assist in that regard, Arcadia Bird Sanctuary and Educational Center conducts presentations and seminars to teach people about parrots. These are designed to provide people with the information they need to make intelligent choices. People are taught what to consider in deciding what kind of bird to choose, how to keep the bird, and how to treat the bird. No audience is too small.
