Keep his colors bright.
Birds are a popular pet because of their plumage and singing. But they can fall prey to neglect or even abuse within a home. In Illinois, there are several groups set up to handle bird rescue situations, giving a bird the chance to be removed from an unhealthy environment and get a new lease on life.
A Refuge for Saving the Wildlife
This non-profit organization focuses exclusively on the rescue and care of parrots throughout Illinois. Parrots require specialized rehabilitation methods that A Refuge for Saving the Wildlife is licensed and qualified to perform. The Refuge take steps to educate the public about proper bird care and avoid potentially fatal illnesses. Adoptions are also available through its services. Contact the organization to learn more about its work, donate to the cause or even volunteer at its center in Northbrook.

Illinois Bird Rescue
Illinois Bird Rescue intervenes for birds both in captivity and in the wild. Sometimes this is because an Illinois bird owner has a pet suffering from dietary deficiencies or stress. In other circumstances, wild birds are found injured, and the Illinois Bird Rescue provides the necessary expertise and professional care they need. The staff helps birds survive and recover from any harmful situations so they can be released back into the wild or find a new, positive home through adoption.
