Planning For Your Parrot
Most of your information revolves around cats and dogs. I have a number of large birds as pets and am concerned about their care if something happens to me…any suggestions?

Luigi, there are any number of refuges for birds, especially larger ones, located throughout the United States.
One of them, The Lucky Parrot Sanctuary, is located just outside of Naples, Florida.
According to the website, their mission is to:
Provide a haven in a natural setting, for homeless, abused, and/or unwanted parrots.
The Parrots now live and thrive out of doors in this sub-tropical climate.
The various species do not all get along with each other, and for this reason no single structure will suffice for all the Lucky Parrots.
We maintain four outdoor full flight aviaries so that the parrots can do what they were born to do, fly.
Today Lucky Parrot offers permanent sanctuary for hard-to-place older parrots and those who no longer make good pets.
The sanctuary does not breed, buy, sell, or broker parrots, and they do not process adoptions (although they can suggest potential adoption sources).
Lucky Parrot is a 501(c)3, nonprofit humane organization staffed by volunteers. 100% of all donations are used for the benefit of the parrots. The organization has been accredited by both The American Sanctuary Association (ASA) and The Association of Sanctuaries (TAOS).
In light of the fact that some parrots can live for seven or eight decades, you are wise to begin planning for the care of your birds.
The Lucky Parrot Sanctuary is only one of many that stand ready to assist you in your planning with your pets.
