Mission & Purpose
Mission
The Cape Fear Parrot Sanctuary (CFPS) rescues, rehabilitates, and cares for parrots who are unwanted, abused, neglected, or whose owners can no longer care for them. CFPS is committed to providing a permanent refuge and a lifelong, healthy habitat for these parrots.
CFPS receives no state, federal or county funding and relies on donations from the public, corporate and foundation supporters to achieve our mission.
Our Vision
To become a nationally known and respected Parrot sanctuary. To build large scale aviaries on land in southeastern North Carolina where parrots in residence can live out their natural lives in environments where they can fly and socialize with other birds.
Our Purpose
To rescue and rehabilitate injured, orphaned, abused and abandoned parrots and companion birds. Provide educational awareness, rehabilitation and volunteer programs onsite to teach the public about the importance of caring for displaced parrots and companion birds.
Cape Fear Parrot Sanctuary
Why is a Sanctuary needed?
Studies show a range from 8 million to 16 million parrots live in captivity in America. Owners of these parrots come in all walks of life.
Parrots are intelligent, emotionally complex and demand a high level of care. Many parrots are doomed to a revolving door of care. The typical parrot has as many as 30 owners during its lifetime.
CFPS exists to address this problem. Large scale aviaries in southeastern North Carolina will be the best place for birds. In uncrowded conditions they can fly, be outdoors, resume relationships, and live out their lives naturally.
