By sponsoring a Parrot Mountain Bird you are helping feed the many donated birds that are taken in for life. Neglected and abused birds or birds that just need a home are brought to Parrot Mountain. With your help in sponsoring a bird it will enable us to continue to give these birds a home here and give them the proper nutrition and care they need. With a donation mailed to us and your help sponsoring a bird we can help make a difference for these birds. A picture of the bird you are helping sponsor will be mailed to you when we receive your donation. Thank you for your support.
