ABOUT THE SANCTUARY
The Foundation provides sanctuary and permanently cares for birds that The Gabriel Foundation staff has determined to be not suitable for adoption or placement in foster care due to medical and/or behavioral issues or due to their CITES status . TGF also provides an option for persons that specifically request that their birds remain in permanent sanctuary*. All sanctuary birds receive the same high level of care as the birds available for adoption and foster care. Sanctuary birds are housed in species-specific rooms at the Foundation and have access to outdoor flights, abundant enrichment, and psychological and environmental support on a daily basis. The Foundation's sanctuary provides:
>A safe haven for birds that prefer not to interact with humans in a companion animal situation.
>A home for birds with chronic disease with supportive care and nurturance.
>Staff dedicated to meet the needs of the individual bird.
>Educational programs that focus on some of the sanctuary birds' specific needs or problems, indigenous habitats, conservation status, or social interaction to promote the parrot welfare cause. *NOTE: When a caregiver requests lifetime care in TGF Sanctuary, funds for that care must be provided or TGF reserves the right to place bird(s) in our adoption program if they qualify.
SANCTUARY BIRDS SPONSORSHIPS AND BIO'S
TGF staff members Patti Christie, Hilary Herron and volunteer Gayla Manente have put together a delightful gallery of birds and biographies that are in Sanctuary with us. Many of these birds have come to us with no financial support and many have medical and special dietary requirements, so your sponsorship of one or more members of our flock would be greatly appreciated.
To sponsor one of our Sanctuary birds, please contact Karen B at 303.629.5900 ext 214 or e-mail her at karenb@thegabrielfoundation.org. You can also sponsor over our secure website or by check. You will receive a picture and regular updates on the bird you have chosen to sponsor from the Aviary and Adoption Center in Elizabeth, Colorado. Thank you for your support!
