Tampa Volunteers Help the Sanctuary
The Florida Exotic Bird Sanctuary is dedicated to the care and well-being of parrots and other exotic birds. We do not breed, sell, trade, or offer for adoption the birds in our care. Instead, we endeavor to provide them with a permanent home that allows them to mingle with other compatible birds in outdoor open-flight aviaries. We also strive to provide permanent, caring home for birds with special needs, including those with physical challenges or behavioral issues. Finally, we are committed to raising public awareness regarding the moral responsibilities and physical demands of keeping parrots or other wild animals as pets.
Florida Exotic Bird Sanctuary
Expansion Project 2024
We are excited to announce the start of a major facility expansion project to meet the housing and support needs of our ever-growing parrot population!
As a longtime Friend of FEBS, you know we moved 400 birds to our present 3½-acre facility in Hudson in early 2017. The number of birds in our care has doubled since then, but the demand for a safe, healthy, and loving forever home for displaced parrots continues to grow: We need to be in a position to care for 1,200 birds by the end of 2024, and 2,000 birds by 2030!
We are very blessed to have already received a substantial portion of the Phase I funding. Furthermore, we’ve been asked to raise matching monies from our Friends of FEBS donors for Phase II and beyond. Our Board of Directors has set an initial matching monies fundraising goal for Phase II and the requisite build-out reserve of $500,000.
