Handicapable parrot rescue

I started my love of Parrots at the age of 11 years old. I didn't know anything at first. As the years have progressed. I have had the amazing opportunity to be part of this amazing world of parrots. I went from not knowing much. To training parrots. For people who cant afford to pay for professionals.  I run a small handicapable rescue that is funded soley by me. I have saved , Multiple species of parrots.  Found wonderful homes for abused and neglected parrots. Train peoples parrots that were going to re home them.  Then changed their mind. After i showed them a different way to approach training and understanding. The parrots needs.  Any thing i start . I do my best to follow it thru to the end.  This is not just a hobby but, a passion . These beautiful soles teach you kindness. Respect above all else. Even the worse day in your life can have a happy ending.
