A Wing and a Song Annual Fundraiser event for Project Perry,

The Central Virginia Parrot Sanctuary

located in Louisa, Virginia was a blast!

We had great food, song, raffles, music, dance and I got to

catch up with my old friend, wonderful Dog Trainer and Author of  “In Deliliah’s Eyes,” Cheryl Falkenburry.  The video showing life at the Sanctuary was brilliant and will be public soon.

This Sanctuary is an incredible place.  Cockatiels, Parrots, Conures, Quakers, Finches, Parakeets and more!

Meet Charlie, the old Scarlet Macaw

According to the limited history given, Charlie is most likely an old wild-caught who spent at least 40 years in the same family.

The story told is that Charlie’s original family loved him very much. In fact, they rode around town with him on the front handlebars of their bicycle. Over time, Charlie moved from home to home within the same family – each time with a degrading quality of life.  Read More about Charlie & other special stories.

“The Central Virginia Parrot Sanctuary serves primarily as a permanent home for birds that are not capable or suitable for human companionship. Many have lost faith in human compassion and are finally happy with sharing free flight with others of their kind. Keep checking the website out for updated pictures of them enjoying this. However some birds do arrive here and may be bird-aggressive or do prefer human companionship. We do our best to evaluate and adopt such birds out.”
