Frequently asked questions
Why are there birds in cages?
Many of the birds we care for come from illegal trafficking or from homes where they were pets. Some can’t return to the wild because they don’t know how to forage or fly well. In those cases, we offer them a safe home in spacious aviaries where they can socialize with other birds and live in suitable conditions.
Can visitors hold the macaws?
As a sanctuary committed to bird welfare, we have decided to limit this direct contact. Macaws need to develop natural behaviors and not rely on human interaction. Furthermore, by reducing contact, we reduce stress for the birds and help them stay healthy and colorful.
What do you feed the birds with?
The bird’s diet is a combination of fruits, vegetables and seeds. We also have a supplement of vitamins and proteins. Our birds of prey eat a combination of meat and other protein supplements.
Is it possible to adopt or sponsor one of the birds?
At this time we do not offer genuine bird adoptions or sponsoring opportunities for individual birds because such arrangements could subject us to certain legal constraints and lead to extra accounting overhead.
However, you are most welcome to support us with a donation which would benefit our park at large and our projects for rescue, rehabilitation and restoration of bird populations in the Copán valley and around Honduras.
