Rescue parrots from the exotic pet trade — gifts from £8.

How does my donation help parrots?
Parrots can outlive their owners and are surrendered in huge numbers. £8 buys a week of fresh food and forage, £15 funds a flight-aviary week to rebuild feather and wing condition, and £40 sponsors a month of aviary life with a flock.
A parrot can live 60 years; few homes last that long. Rescued birds arrive plucked, bored and alone. Flock life in a flight aviary — noise, mess, company — is the cure. Nobody takes a parrot home from this till; the gift tags fund care.
Who should skip this: Skip this page if you wanted to rehome a parrot in the UK — that is the rescue directory, not a gift tag. Skip it if you need Gift Aid: World Animal Rescue Network is a CIC and cannot claim it. Nobody takes this animal home.
Can I take this parrot home?
No. These tags are gifts to WARN’s general fund, named after a kind of care. The animal stays there. If you want to adopt or foster in the UK, use the rescue directory and follow that organisation’s process. An animal charity gift is not a pet. Compare sponsor vs adopt.
Is a parrot gift Gift Aid eligible?
No. Donations are received by World Animal Rescue Network CIC. Community interest companies cannot claim Gift Aid, so you will never see a tick-box here. If Gift Aid is required, give to a registered charity instead. The gifts on this page support care without Gift Aid. See about.
What gifts help parrots?
Pick a tag and we'll transfer you to World Animal Rescue Network's secure donation page with this gift already selected. Or sponsor a parrot monthly instead. Birthday and Christmas wrappers live on birthday gifts and Christmas gifts; choose the same care with a personal message.
Parrot rescue questions
How much does a week of food for a rescue parrot cost?
Food costs differ by species and supplier. The “Fresh food & forage for a week” gift suggests £8, named after a week of fruit, seed and foraging puzzles for one rescued parrot. See all parrot rescue gifts.
Can I give a parrot rescue donation as a gift?
Yes. After you donate, make a free printable gift card with their name, your message and the gift you chose, then print it or save it as a PDF to email — popular for birthdays and gifts in memory. WARN emails you a payment receipt, not a certificate. It is a charity gift, not a parrot you take home.
Can I take this parrot home?
No. Tags on the parrot gift page are gifts to WARN’s general fund, named after a kind of care, not an individual animal. These tags fund flock care, not a cage in your hallway. For a UK pet, use the rescue directory.
Is a parrot gift Gift Aid eligible?
No. Donations are received by World Animal Rescue Network CIC, which cannot claim Gift Aid. The gifts still fund care.
Can I sponsor a parrot every month?
Yes. £40 a month funds flock life or use monthly parrot sponsorship.
