The Phoenix Landing Foundation is a 501(c)(3) non-profit all-volunteer organization.
It was established to promote and protect the welfare of parrots,
especially those with an extensive lifespan. |
Increasingly, these intelligent and beautiful birds are becoming household companions. Meanwhile, their native rain forests and deserts are being rapidly consumed for use by people. As guardians of our pets, and growing consumers of the land, it is our responsibility to provide care and help for parrots -- both in domesticity and in the wild.
Phoenix Landing provides for parrots in need and acts as advocates for those without protection.

Phoenix Landing seeks to improve the quality of life for all parrots.
Our objectives are to: |
- Provide educational activities regarding the care and needs of parrots;
- Facilitate adoption for parrots who need a new family;
- Provide a home for large parrots who outlive their guardians;
- Provide a new home for neglected or unwanted parrots;
- Sponsor research of wild habitats and natural parrot behaviors;
- Support conservation and eco-tourism;
- Sponsor better avian education for vets and vet students; and
- Advocate standards of care for breeders, pet stores, sanctuaries, and rescues.
