How to Contact Us

Please Note : Due to limited funds, we do not spend donation dollars maintaining a staffed office. Honestly, we just do not have enough money to provide this service to the public. We ask for your patience and understanding of this challenge.

The best way to reach us is by phone. Messages are picked up at the end of the day. Messages are prioritized and calls returned, based on the content of your message. We appreciate those of you who leave detailed messages. Unfortunately, it is not uncommon for messages to be carried over to the following day. Emails are only checked a couple times each week. Depending on the volume, we try to, answer within about a week. We appreciate your understanding of this challenge.

Our Sanctuary routine is efficient and it does not take very long to feed and clean the colonies. The majority of our time is devoted to building projects, colony modifications, colony observations and landscape maintenance. We enjoy spending time replacing and arranging perches, making toys for the colonies and puttering around the sanctuary. We are out playing with the birds, enjoying life until the sun sets and in the summer, daylight lasts until 10pm in the Pacific Northwest.

* Please note

We frequently receive requests from the public asking for tours of our facility. Our Sanctuary location is not zoned for commercial public access or animal exhibition. We have a large population of wild caught untamed birds. They perceive public viewing as intrusive and threatening. Additionally, public access would increase the risk of disease transmission from outside pet birds. Many of our birds are dangerous and unpredictable a potential liability that could jeopardize the security of the entire sanctuary. For these reasons we do not have public “work parties” or novice volunteers.

We are not accepting applications for volunteer staff positions at this time.

We are not open to the public for tours! This is not a zoo. The Cockatoos, Macaws and Greys that live at The Cockatoo Rescue and Sanctuary are not on exhibit.
