FOSTER PARROTS SANCTUARY--
NO CAGE IS BIG ENOUGH
with
Rachel DeFronzo
We hope to offer this as a remote program in the future.
Stay tuned!

Parrots are wild animals that have long suffered the consequences of pet trade exploitation and public misinformation. In this presentation, Rachel and Isaiah look into how parrots end up in captivity, why they are surrendered to the organization, and how Foster Parrots manages a sanctuary housing over 400 parrots. They'll discuss the challenges of keeping these wild animals in a captive setting as well as the organization's offsite conservation efforts for wild parrots in South America. Come learn why Foster Parrots believes that No Cage is Big Enough! |

Rachel DeFronzo started her career in animal care as a zoo educator and bird trainer 5 years ago. It was in her position at the zoo that she learned about the plight of parrots in captivity and wanted to make a difference in the lives of abandoned and displaced parrots. Rachel has been working at Foster Parrots since 2017 as the Director of Adoptions and Education. Parrot rescue is her passion and working with Foster Parrots has been the most rewarding endeavor of her life. It has also led to the adoption of her own beloved birds, Max and Chuckie! |
