The Oasis Sanctuary and Gulliver the Macaw Launch “Pennies for Parrots”
Click on Gulliver to learn more.............
As most of you are aware of by now, beginning April 6, 2008, The Oasis worked diligently to bring an abandoned American Macaw named Gulliver back to the US. He was stranded in the Republic of Kiribati (Kee-ree-bas) in the area of the South Pacific referred to as Micronesia, when his former care-givers' boat crashed and sank off Fanning Island.
We'd like to welcome you to the new Oasis Sanctuary web-site. We are still in the process of updating all info, so please bear with us and if there's something you see that seems to need correcting, please feel free to contact us at webmaster@the-oasis.org. We welcome your input and will of course consider any constructive concepts. We hope you enjoy our many new features and look forward to hearing from you.
The Oasis Sanctuary is a life-care facility for captive Exotic birds. In particular we are a refuge for parrots, cockatoos, macaws and other Psittacine birds (predominantly CITES I and II endangered birds), although we do accept Passerines (finches and canaries), Columbiformes (doves and "fancy" or racing pigeons), and other captive avian species. We offer birds a stable and loving home for the duration of their natural lives.
As a true sanctuary, we do not offer birds for adoption, however we work with and refer birds requiring re-homing to bona fide adoption programs around the country.
Many of The Oasis birds come from other rehabilitation and/or adoption programs where qualified personnel have determined that it is not in the bird's best interests to be placed in private homes. Some of our birds have "special needs", are physically handicapped or challenged requiring unique living or feeding situations. Others have been bounced from home to home, often being physically and/or emotionally abused and have simply become too fearful of people to be companions to people any longer.
The Oasis Sanctuary was incorporated in the State of Arizona on May 22, 1997. We are a 501(c)(3) charitable organization. Our Federal EIN number is 86-0885646. We are also registered with the Secretary of State in Arizona as a recognized charity.

In an effort to help several 501(c)(3) parrot rescues & sanctuaries, we have set-up 4 easy & affordable ways for you to join us, plus you get to choose the organization you want to help support.
