 Ruffled Feathers® Sanctuary​

Ruffled Feathers® Parrot Rescue and Sanctuary, Inc. (RFS) is a nonprofit, 501(c)(3) organization located at the North
Hanover Mall in Hanover, Pa.

RFS provides a long-term, safe, nurturing environment for exotic birds whose circumstances have placed them in unstable living conditions.
 
For many birds, the loss of an owner presents a grim future. Most animal shelters do not accept or are not equipped to handle birds, and the stress of a traumatic situation often results in "plucking" which makes the birds unappealing and unwanted.
 
RFS is a sanctuary that holds the birds' best interest as priority. With the help of dedicated volunteers, sponsors, and contributions, RFS has laid the groundwork for a self-sustainable organization that offers refuge for these birds and allows them the chance to live their long life. Our main interests are:
 
  • Rapid response for bird rescue
​​
  • Clean, safe and stimulating living environment
 
  • Human contact and nurturing
​​​
  • Allowing birds to socially interact with other flock members in an aviary setting

Every donation counts as we provide the care and attention these exotic birds need. We thank you for your support.

Like all nonprofit organizations, Ruffled Feathers® is dependent on donations and
volunteer support. RFS accepts monetary contributions, feed and supply items, and ​will pick-up larger and locally resellable donations.

Just after six months of care our rescue birds can show dramatic improvements! 

Help contribute to our cause!

SUCCESSION PLANNING

Ruffled Feathers is not a pet store, our “adoption” policy is entirely consistent with the Sanctuary’s commitment to each Bird’s individual long-term welfare and is primarily looking for people with previous exotic bird ownership experience as potential adopters. Visit our adoption page for more information...
Owning an exotic bird requires as much if not more dedication as owning a dog or cat. They need a clean living area, fresh food and water, and daily attention. If you don't have the time but would like to help these exotic birds, you can sponsor a bird of your choice. We can help you pick one!
Being such long lived animals exotic birds can outlive their owners, or an owner's circumstances can change dramatically. Ruffled Feathers can help arrange for the future care of your companion-bird should the need arise. To learn more about this future-care, visit the Succession Planning page...
