2022 parrot calendars for sale

HARMONY – Parrots fly throughout Siesta Sanctuary’s 2022 calendar, a fundraiser for the rescue non-profit. The Amazons, Africans Greys, Cockatoos, Conures and Macaws pictured are just some of Sanctuary’s 45-plus bird flock. The calendars are $20 plus shipping.

Their birds are caged or fly free in two rooms depending on their temperament (wimp or bully) and how high their status is within the bird community. Social ones make their rounds daily, visiting, and chatting with other parrots. Others perch placidly alone in their open cage, content to merely watch the antics.

Parrots are very intelligent, and, in the wild, thrive as part of a flock. Siesta Sanctuary’s mission is to recreate the flock environment for parrots who have been displaced due to moving, divorce and death. Lots of human life changes happen during the 30 to 80 years that parrots live.

Our parrots are from rescue organizations, owners moving to nursing homes or apartments, spouses objecting to the bird, birds with problem behaviors that disrupt the home and birds that other folks have rescued but couldn’t keep.

The nonprofit Siesta Sanctuary is a permanent home for parrots and maintains referrals for parrots that need homes. It costs roughly $16,000 annually (roughly $45 per day) to house and feed their flock. It relies on private contributions. Any donation, large or small, helps immensely.

To order your 2022 calendar, contact Siesta Sanctuary via Facebook, info@SiestaSanctuary.org or call Margaret Buschmann at 207-683-6322. This giant birdhouse is at 104 Brown Road in Harmony.
