EWPR, Kennewick, WA.
The huge window in the front is
dedicated to many of the parrots that we have here at the Kennewick
Facility. During the summers, we allow the birds to be outside on
their stands or cages for the fresh air and wonderful warmth of the sun.
On the hotter days, which this
was, we have them inside the shaded porch with misters keeping them cool and
happy.

Mission and Goal of Eastern Washington Parrot Rescue
Helping Those Without A Voice!
|
Mission of EWPR...
At present, companion birds are the third preferred pet in the USA. It is
our mission to find loving, adoptive homes for unwanted or rescued companion
birds with people who are experienced in bird care or are eager to learn. We
believe that all pet birds deserve quality care, love, and respect and that
bird owners should have access to the most current bird care information
possible. Eastern Washington Parrot Rescue is a Rescue and a temporary
facility for exotic birds. We provide birds with a stable and loving home
for the duration of their stay at EWPR. |

Goal of EWPR...
We need to educate people interested in bird ownership about the proper care
for pet birds. We will provide an avenue for people who can not keep their
bird, but want to ensure a quality new home for their pet. We will find
homes for displaced birds in permanent adoptive homes or shelters
/sanctuaries, depending on the bird's individual needs. They will be placed
with people who understand and respect birds for the unique creatures they
are. We will do all we can to rehabilitate and correct behavioral problems
in birds resulting from neglect, abuse, or improper care. |

How YOU you can help...
Sponsor a specific bird who is in need of a cage, continuous medical care,
and the additional love of a human. Become a contributing member. Your
donations will help provide for toys, food, vet bills, replacement cages,
special perches for the severely handicapped. You can provide a permanent
adoptive home. These birds often have changed homes a number of times. The
average companion bird will have 7 different owners in it's lifetime. It is
our goal to find permanent homes for each bird where they can find security
and a sense of belonging. |
