Can You Save a Bird Today?Due to the high-maintenance very high percentage of the pet birds that are purchased wind up abused or abandoned and in dire need of good, loving homes. Unfortunately, with twice that many convenient pet stores and volume breeders, it's much more likely that an orphaned bird will remain so. The odds are high his newly-acquired counterpart will likely become unwanted himself one day considering that many retail establishments are much more concerned with ensuring the volume of sales than in seeing to the future welfare of their living charges by making sure potential bird owners are made fully aware of the many specific physical and emotional needs unique to these exotic creatures. Bird Refuge & Rescue Needs Your Help Feathered Friends Forever Rescue/Refuge, Inc. is a privately owned, 501(c) non-profit corporation. Feathered Friends is the largest rescue in the state of Georgia as well as one of the largest avian-specific organizations in the nation. They currently house over 350 birds.
