Rhode Island Parrot Rescue

Volunteering at Rhode Island Parrot Rescue has been such a great experience. The team is welcoming, the space is clean, and the birds are clearly happy and well cared for. They truly take their mission seriously and prioritize each bird’s well-being. It made me feel confident about eventually adopting here.

The birds come first here! The mission of RIPR is to rescue, rehabilitate, adopt, and educate. The new building at 173 Washington Street in West Warwick, RI is designed to do just that! There is a new education room for workshops and fundraising events. The birds also got a larger space with full spectrum lighting where volunteers can train with the residents! The new Flock Shop will have lots of toys and enrichment items for sale too!

They are truly dedicated to the well-being of parrots, providing a safe haven and great care for these amazing birds. The staff and volunteers are passionate and knowledgeable, ensuring each parrot receives the love and attention they deserve. If you're looking to adopt or support a parrot rescue, I highly recommend Rhode Island Parrot Rescue.

I adopted a very special blue and gold macaw from RIPR in Feb 2024. The process was extensive but absolutely necessary to pair me with the right companion and to insure success. The entire organization run by Corrie is amazing. They are caring and knowledgeable about these birds and each species. They are all loving and caring individuals. I would recommend adopting from RIPR to anyone serious about taking home one of these amazing creatures! Birds aren't like dogs or cats. They require so much more and many of these birds have had multiple homes because they live so long or because they have developed behaviors because people impulse buy and don't understand what it takes to keep a bird happy and healthy. RIPR helps guide you through everything from the day you inquire to the day you take

I went to meet about adopting 2 cockatiels. The facility is very clean and organized, the staff were all very nice as well. I met with their president, Corrie, who was a pleasure. They perform an in home visit, you have to complete an online bird class and have a meeting with Corrie as well as several visits with the bird(s) you are interested in. I was VERY impressed at how thorough the adoption process is. I plan to continue my relationship with this wonderful organization and possibly adopt more feathered friend in the future.
