A word from Matt smith, project perry founder
Sanctuary Public Policies – Effective August, 2022 (Updated January 2026)
Visitation: Visits for Parrot Sponsors will be scheduled for Mid-March through Mid-October due to the shorter days as we are a medium-sized Sanctuary run by a just myself and Kirah. Also, over the winter months there is a lot more "illness" going around. We do not have the time to be sick as we are unable to lay immobile to rest when we fall ill. Therefore, we must do our best to avoid getting sick altogether. We do not operate as a ‘roadside zoo’ and as such, public visitation is limited. Additionally, our time to conduct visits is limited due to the daily work necessary to keep our residents and property properly and well-maintained.
We will always do our best to accommodate our Lifetime of Care Members anytime throughout the year when a visit with the resident placed here is desired.
-Matt Smith, Executive Director
For new sponsors who are sponsoring a parrot and wish to visit, Parakeet sponsorships must be paid in one annual lump sum. Cockatiel Sponsorships require half a year up front. Conure/Hahns/and the like must be paid half a year up front as well.
Unfortunately, we found that there were a few new sponsors interested in setting up a parakeet sponsorship monthly ($5) to visit, and then canceled their sponsorship or didn't continue sponsoring the bird after visiting. That is unfair to those who take the sponsorship program seriously and generously support the parrots here at Project Perry for the long term.
Sadly, "The actions of a few" ruin for the rest of you genuinely interested in sponsoring. Sponsors are allowed to bring ONE guest along with them. For example a spouse or child. Group visitations are currently unavailable. Smaller children may not be allowed in the aviaries to visit your sponsored bird(s) so it would be best to check with someone at the sanctuary first.
Parakeet Annual $60 required up front in full - (full year sponsorship)
Cockatiel Annual $120 annual ($60 up front) - (6 months sponsorship)
Conure/Hahns/etc $300 annual ($60 up front) - (3 months sponsorship)
