Amigo's Fund

Hello, and welcome to Garuda Aviary. We are a non-profit rescue and lifelong sanctuary for parrots that have been neglected, abused and abandoned. 


This is Amigo, she was our White Capped Pionus. Amigo was proud, bossy and bold. But if you earned her respect, she was sweet and affectionate.

Recently, Amigo became ill and started losing weight quickly. As would be the case with any member of our flock, Amigo was promptly treated with specialized avian veterinary care. Our highly skilled doctor was able to rule out the most worrisome possibilities, such as Avian Borna Virus, Tuberculosis and Psittacosis.

Unfortunately, we were unable to find the root of Amigo's illness. We kept her comfortable, and she passed peacefully. While she was a small bird, (around 190 grams max.) she leaves a very big hole in our hearts. We will miss you, Amigo. You were a true friend.

As is always the case with specialized exotic veterinary care, Amigo's treatment was fairly expensive. Garuda Aviary accrued over $1,500 in medical bills trying to bring her back to health.

Fundraising for exotic animal rescues is notoriously difficult. We are the first to feel the economy slump, and the last to feel it recover. So we are looking to you, our compassionate friends, to help us recoup the costs for Amigo's medical treatment.

Please help. Even small contributions make a big difference. We are here to help alleviate suffering for parrots that have been abused and abandoned. With your help, we can provide a better life for more of these sensitive and intelligent animals.

From all of us at Garuda Aviary, thank you.
