Brain goes above the call of duty to care for his flock and make sure that the owners and birds are a good match, he has adopted out many, many birds and the homes have been very good ones, well matched . He is totally committed to his birds like no others, he eats breathes and lives parrots. He does what ever he has to in order to make each bird safe and well cared for, his volunteers are exceptional. Brain loves these magnificent birds and treats them the way they should be treated and teaches the adoptee how to take care of them, and they can always ask him for help if it is needed. Out of sight is not forgotten. I have never seen a more committed person to these birds. If anyone is unable to spend the time needed to volunteer at the Foundation for this small amount of time and commitment , they don't have time for a parrot.

I volunteered here with my husband when we lived nearby, and the parrots were absolutely wonderful and I felt like I was walking among one huge feathered family. I carried two African Grey parrots into the house from their day cages outside, and I was amazed as they casually started conversing with one another. It was truly a fond experience and I highly recommend anyone to go and help out if they can!

I called the foundation and no one answered so I did not leave a message. I was looking to purchase another bird. I just received a phone call back from them saying how rude I was for not leaving a voicemail and they block those people from calling anymore. Those people just want something for free he said. I’m not sure what the man’s issue is and I was honestly dumbfounded so all I did was apologize for not leaving a message. Never will I call them again.

I called and asked about parrot adoption. The person that answered was really rude and disrespectful and said have a good day after I jumped asked one question. I don't know why the person was very rude and disrespectful I greated the person very well.

If you look at this guys adoption policy it’s clearly designed to ensure almost no one actually adopts. He doesn’t even have a website where his policy is posted except on adoptapet (where no animals are listed as available). You have to be 30 years old or older. You have to volunteer 8-10 hours a week for six months. You have to foster for a year IF a bird chooses you (I assume Wilson will decide if a bird has chosen you). This eliminates a lot of good homes. People who work from home who might not have weekly access to a car. People who have minor disabilities that can’t do hours of heavy lifting cleaning multiple cages but could handle one. Etc. This is one of those tax-exempt parrot hoarders. I’ve adopted from two other rescues and I can tell you these policies aren’t normal. Don’t be fooled and don’t waste your time.

Thank you for caring for my Quaker by making sure he got back home safe and with his rightful owner. I am also glad to live in a community that cares. A special thanks goes to the owner of Crazy 4 Dahlias whom took my bird to Wilson Parrot Foundation.

I volunteered here yesterday. I am not a bird expert but I was expecting a bunch of unhappy screeching birds and plucked feathers. Not the case at all. The place was like a big family of birds in different aviaries. The focus I saw was on keeping the birds calm, clean, well-fed, warm, and happy.Learned more about parrots in three hours yesterday than I could by surfing google for days.Going back today. It was time well-spent.

This is one of the cleanest, most well-maintained bird sanctuaries I have ever come across, and I plan to help the owner however I can once I finish my college courses this year. Each parrot was out of their cage and they all appeared to be happy and healthy. They are fed a diet of fruits, vegetables, and an appropriate amount of grain. The outdoor aviary was warm and comfortable, even in the frigid weather.By the way, @Stephanie Holderfield: If your family can't even afford time to volunteer to help birds in need, I very highly doubt your home life is remotely stable enough to keep any of these birds happy and healthy. Most of them were either rescued from hoarding situations, negligent owners, or have had their humans pass away. You are gravely underestimating the amount of attention these birds require. Go buy a budgerigar or cockatiel. You'll thank me later.

Brian Wilson welcomed my Animal Reiki class and shared so much about his values in caring so lovingly for these beautiful birds.

This place is nothing more than an individual hoarding birds!!! They don’t adopt out unless you are a volunteer or a donor to them. These parrots will never know what it is like to live in a home with a family. This individual whom runs this is constantly taking in more and more birds and then wants donations to take care of them. He takes them on knowing that he won’t allow them to be adopted unless you are a volunteer or donor. There are very few people who can volunteer do to jobs and having families. These birds will never be adopted or cared for properly. It is very sad that this individual is allowed to do this!
