Hello everyone!
 
After a bit of discussion, Matt and I have come to the agreement that we are going to try the volunteer route once again.  It seems that many find it a bit easier to have a more open schedule versus a schedule that requires a person to be here daily for 4 and half hours or so. 
 
So, if you can help with the birds once a week, once a month… or as much as you’d like to help out with the birds here… just let us know. 
 
Inquiries should be sent to: K.ProjectPerry@gmail.com
 
The birds you’d be volunteering to care for are not “pet store” birds.  They will “taste” you.  So, please understand, that while a lot of the birds enjoy interaction and playing, following instructions is important or you may need a few stitches, or Band-Aids! (HAHAHA)
 
Please see the "pinned post" on our facebook page for photos.  The reality is visually at the ready for you to see in the pinned post.  There is plenty of bird poop, bird mess, paper, food… birds aren’t really the cleanest house guests.  Ha! 
 
It’s not glamourous by any means, but it is meaningful work.  The majority of the birds inside are special needs parrots.  Some are crippled, some are blind, some are just too elderly to live in the aviaries. 
 
Again, Inquiries should be sent to: K.ProjectPerry@gmail.com if you’re interested.

Project Perry, Inc. is an Accredited Sanctuary

Accredited means that Project Perry, Inc. meets the comprehensive and rigorous definition of a true sanctuary and is providing humane and responsible care of parrots and other birds, meeting quality standards for operations, administration, and veterinary care.

About our organization

Project Perry / The Central Virginia Parrot Sanctuary is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to the rescue, rehabilitation, and sanctuary of parrots living in captivity. Our primary mission is to provide exceptional natural environments for our residents where they can enjoy the enrichment of flight and the togetherness of flock with excellent care provided by a dedicated team of staff and volunteers. Parrots and other exotic birds represent the largest population of captive wildlife in the U.S., and the need to protect them continues to grow. Our impact extends beyond our residents through outreach and education - helping to improve the lives of birds everywhere.

 

Should you be up to the life-long task of helping and caring for a parrot in need, we promote adopting a parrot vs. purchasing one.  Our Sanctuary does not have a formal adoption program, however there are now a large number of clubs, organizations and individuals dedicated to the rescue and placement of birds into homes.  To start your journey into adoption, please check out this very informative link:
