Welcome to The Tiki Room. We are a 501(c)3 non profit humane organization specializing in the rescue and rehabilitation of hookbills (parrots) and all exotic birds, from parakeets to macaws, and everything in between. Those that can be rehabilitated, are found loving (and permanent) new homes. We assure that each adoptable bird finds the right home through a rather rigorous adoption process.

Our goals include finding good, caring homes for the adoptable birds that have been given up by their guardians due to unforeseen difficulties. We have encountered many cases where parrots have been given up for adoption when their guardians have become ill or divorced. These people needed to place their birds quickly and felt uncomfortable with the options of reselling their bird back to a pet shop, in the want ads or giving the bird to friends or family where questionable care might be offered. We have also received birds that have been given up because of unacceptable vocalization or dangerous behavior. We hope to offer people the security of knowing that their bird will be cared for and that time will be taken when finding a new home with a sincere, dedicated and appropriate person. We do not purchase, breed, or ship birds.

Until now, we have relied on word of mouth to receive birds and to find adoptive homes. We anticipate the effect of internet exposure will be more adoptions as well as more desperate people wanting to give up their birds to our care. As many of these birds will need care for up to 100 years, our task is formidable.

For a listing of all currently adoptable birds, please email the.tiki_room@yahoo.com . When emailing, please remember that we have no paid staff, and as such, our volunteers will do their best to answer your email as quickly as possible. Please do not send multiple emails, as this only slows down our response time. Thank you.
