Birds of Paradise Sanctuary & Rescue

This is paradise for birds, just like the name implies! Debbie is so dedicated to these birds and stops at nothing, too care and give them a wonderful life.

I've volunteered here twice now, but have known Debbie for about 10yrs. She's incredibly knowledgeable and works diligently with her local vet to give each bird the food and vet care they may need.

She also has a dedicated program for adoption, and I appreciate that she assesses each bird to determine where they will be best suited. Either in a Sanctuary setting or in an individual home and put up for adoption.

My suggestion is if you're looking to bring a special bird into your home, volunteer here and get to know the adoptable birds and let the adoption crew get to know you. Try not to fall in love with a specific idea of what you want your new bird to look like or a certain species. Because your new best friend will choose you and it might not be what you expected.

Debbie always needs volunteers, and it's simple to get involved and help out.

** Pictures are of my bird I adopted 11yrs ago (not with Debbie at that time) and the joy he's brought me and the BEST companion I could ever hope for.

If you’re looking for a bird to add to your family and are in FL please go see birds of paradise. The coordinators were extremely knowledgeable and patient with me. All the birds here are so lovely and full of personality. I finally decided on a green ring neck and I am absolutely full of love and so happy I was able to give him his forever home.

Wonderful people and beautiful birds with different stories that have been rescued. Went for a first visit and will be going back to see if one of the birds will take a liking to us. Its a nice property and sanctuary. A learning experience

Debbie was a pleasure. After seeing. Jewels and fell in love with her. I adopted her. She is loving. And very. Talkative.

I had to take two budgies there tearfully that I developed breathing issues with, from owning them.
I spent 3 months talking singing abs playing sift music to.
But they were unhappy. We think they missed their friends. We bought from a pet shop. We never ever do this And regretted it.
They were terrified of coming out if their huge cage nevertheless
We tried and tried. Picking them up was out of the question.
They started to need to fly and one started getting angry with the other.
It was distressing to see.
They knew my voice and responded but not enough
To get them to trust me to touch or coax them out of the cage.
Then i started having to use my inhaler a lot.’
We kept that cage immaculate.
Even so.
We were guided to Birds of Paradise that was an amazing sanctuary for all sorts of birds.
I was assured they would end up in a big aviary with lots of friends again. And live out the rest of their lives Happily there.
I donated and will donate in future.
The parrots were incredible too.
They rely on donations.
If you are a bird lover please please donate.
They are by appointment only to go there.
It’s a relief to know they will be somewhere safe and happy.
