M.A.R.S. exotic bird rescue

Sunday morning Surprise

Coreen Fry and Yamile

Sunday is usually a quiet, calm, very low key kind of day here at our Florida Parrot Rescue M.A.R.S..

This Sunday however, we were treated to a visit from our friend Coreen Fry and her photographer Yamile.

Coreen is assembling footage of exotic birds to be used in a CD she is producing that will be informative as well as entertaining. Look for the CD  to be available for sale here on our site marsparrots.org  in the near future.

In filming this morning we had fun with our frequent flyer’s Keiffer, an Umbrella cockatoo and of course our adorable Miss Lilly a Lesser Sulfer Crested cockatoo. They both preformed admirably for the video cam.  They appeared to completely enjoy the whole process which took a little over an hour.

Thank-you to the ladies for a rather noisey but very enjoyable experience here at M.A.R.S. on this picture perfect Sunday Morning. Did I mention the mimosas? 

Now it’s back to quiet once again here at our exotic bird rescueand of course bananna pancakes as a reward to all the birds for their cooperation in the making of this video.

Remember, donations are necessary to continue our work here at the sanctuary. Please consider donating to Melbourne Avian Rescue Sanctuary. Thank-you

With a voice as big as the sea, and yes that would be Stella

We here at M.A.R.S. had the joy of boarding a truly amazing bird this year.

To experience life with a larger than life bird, one must understand that the vocals of that bird might actually match the size of that bird.

Such was the case with Stella, a big, beautiful, vibrant blue Hyacinth Macaw with a personality to fall in love with and a voice as big as the sea.

So when I say, “Do you hear what I hear”, that would be Stella.

Wishing all a very vibrant and blue (that would be in color only) Holiday Season from all here at Melbourne Avian Rescue Sanctuary.

Wednesday at M.A.R.S. almost as good as Saturdays. Pictures tell all

Every week we all look forward to Saturdays. M.A.R.S. has very special people to help out, and the atmosphere is relaxed.

This week Wednesday came close. It’s all because the Miami birds finally wanted to meet the other members of our parrot rescue. The truly amazing part, they figured it out on their own.

In the first and second picture our unnamed Triton cockatoo decided to mingle with Lilly. Lilly, always the alpha girl decided to give her a break from dive bombing her. She chose to dive bomb her old favorite Emily above her in the tree.

The third picture shows Zues who we refer to as the guardian. All new birds seek him out for comfort. Our Goffin from Miami shows us just how true this is once again.IMG 2584
