Olive Branch Parrot Rescue is a 501(c)3 public charitable non-profit organization. We are a small parrot rescue and pride ourselves in quality over quantity to ensure a lifetime relationship. Having more one-on-one time with the applicants and parrots creates a more successful, long-lasting home for the parrot's well-being.

The specific purposes for our rescue are:

1) The rescue and rehabilitation of abandoned, abused, neglected, and unwanted parrots

2) The placement of rehabilitated parrots into suitable homes, qualified breeding facilities, zoos, or species reintroduction programs

3) The education of the public regarding the behavior and the proper care and training of parrots
