How does parrot sponsorship work?
Parrot sponsorship through Charity Shop supports parrots rescued from the exotic pet trade — parrots can live 60 years, and few homes last that long. £40 a month funds aviary care and flock companionship for one rescued parrot, with a personalised e-certificate, giftable in someone's name.
Who should skip this: Skip this if you wanted to rehome a parrot in the UK, needed Gift Aid, or expected a posted toy pack. Sponsorship funds named monthly care; nobody takes the animal home. You can cancel through WARN.
Do I own or adopt this parrot?
No. A monthly sponsorship here is costed care, not a pet and not a symbolic wild-animal adoption pack. Compare the models in sponsor vs adopt and symbolic vs costed.

You'll review the gift, optionally add a recipient's name, then complete the donation on World Animal Rescue Network's secure page with the monthly option already selected.

Parrot sponsorship questions
What does a parrot sponsorship pay for?
Aviary care and flock companionship for one rescued parrot for a month — £40. A flight-aviary week (£15) or a week of fresh food (£8) can be given one-off.
Why do so many parrots need rescuing?
Parrots commonly live 40–60 years and need constant company — far longer and more demanding than most owners expect. Rescued birds arrive plucked, bored and alone; flock life is the cure.
