Our Beliefs

In addition to our work protecting parrots in captivity, Foster Parrots is a One Health advocate and staunch conservationist. We believe in the deep interconnectedness of the human-animal-environment relationship. By bringing attention to and encouraging discussion about our own individual relationships to the wild, we can help encourage a sense of stewardship in each of us that helps all animals both captive and free. 

We believe that No Cage Is Big Enough and that parrots belong in the wild. We are proud to partner with amazing conservation programs that strive to protect animals in the wild and bring awareness to ever increasing human animal conflicts.  Together, we believe this multifaceted approach to welfare and conservation is the key to protecting our planet.

Our efforts to protect parrots in captivity in the U.S. were enhanced by the opportunity to help protect the freedom of those that remain in the wild in Guyana. A single, private donation to Foster Parrots, Ltd. in 2004 funded the construction of Maipaima Eco-Lodge, deep in the forest of Nappi Village at the foot of the Kanuku Mountains in Southern Guyana.
