PHOENIX LANDING™ HELPING PARROTS 
​Phoenix Landing is a volunteer 501(c)(3) parrot welfare organization.  We serve Maryland, Washington D.C., Virginia, North Carolina, and Northeast Florida through our parrot adoption program. Our educational events are available to everyone regardless of where you live. Learning new things can help our birds to thrive in captivity!
Our objectives:
  • Provide educational activities
  • Facilitate adoption for parrots, from parakeets to macaws, because most birds need a succession of good homes
  • Help veterinary students interested in avian medicine
  • Sponsor research and conservation for wild parrots
  • Advocate standards of care for birds​
  • Build and maintain a sustainable organization
  • Ensure that birds adopted through Phoenix Landing are physically and legally protected
  • Maintain a license and compliance in good standing under the USDA Animal Welfare Act regulations

​​Parrot nutrition can be a controversial topic, but a varied diet that includes healthy food and exercise is important to overall health.
