We are a Treasure and Space Coast based Parrot Rescue located in Sebastian Florida, we have been rescuing birds for 11 years and I have fostered for two other parrot rescues.

Due to the volume of requests to take unwanted or unable to keep parrots in my area, I chose to open my own not for profit rescue. We also have a parrot store on eBay as well as an e- commerce store. The store sells parrot related items and food, not birds.

Our mission is to rescue, rehabilitate, and find the correct forever home for our feathered friends. All donations and re-homing fees are for the transportation, vet bills, and care of the parrots. Here we are all about the birds.

If you have a parrot you are unable to care for any longer, or are interested in adopting a feathered friend, or just wish to foster a bird, please contact us…below is a link to our stores, feel free to check it out and look at our feedback.

If you have a unwanted bird contact Kerry Lewis or Cindy Nichols.

SEBASTIAN, FL – “Thousands of dead fish were found washed up on the shore of a Florida state park.

The animals were found along the beach of Sebastian Inlet State Park in Melbourne Beach, FL, on Friday.

Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission officials believe the fish died because of the lack of oxygen.

‘Just because there’s such a large school of them, they use up the oxygen really quickly, and because they are coming closer to shore, there’s not as high of a water turnover rate and sometimes when you’re in an area with not as much tidal flow,” said Kelli O’Donnell, Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission.’” Read More

The New Year started on an ominous note, with hundreds of dead birds falling on the town of Beebe, Arkansas. This oddity was immediately followed by thousands of dead fish found in the Arkansas River, and in the weeks and months since there have been reports of mass death of fish, birds, crabs, and other animals all over the world.

In recent weeks the amazing events in Yemen, and Egypt have grabbed the headlines, but the phenomenon of mass death of animals continues unabated.

It’s now the turn of the good folks in Melbourne Beach, FL to wonder what the heck is going on. Officials say that some fish are prone to die from lack of oxygen when they swim close to the shore in large numbers. Sorry, for the pun, but that explanation sounds fishy to me.
