In addition Under My Wing provides services to the avian community in general via education, hands-on training. Our community outreach serves both parrots and people offering services and programs specifically designed to assist the elder, disabled and the youth population with bird care. Thus, reaching new growth and embracing a better future for the exotic bird’s welfare and care.

Under My Wing is focused on the present and future needs of the birds. Our experience brings us to a vision of preparedness, deeply rooted, financially stable and with a ready and equipped facility capable to handle the bird’s continual needs resulting from their capture to the present mass production and sale of their species.

Shelter FAQs

Educator in bird care and proper bird ownership responsibility.
From my 14+ years of experience. I found that breeding, hoarding, selling and the immediate gratification of owning birds who for a while are loved till some reason or another, get re-homed. Is not by any means in the best interest of a bird but of self.

Additional adoption info
