Once Upon A Wing Exotic Pet Bird Resort & Sanctuary

Once Upon A Wing Exotic Pet Bird Resort & Sanctuary Exotic Bird Sanctuary located in Central Oregon providing a healthy, loving home for feathered friends whom for whatever reason must be surrendered.

We also provide bird sitting in our establishment for Central Oregonians. The owner operator of Once Upon A Wing Exotic Bird Sanctuary, Jaimi Warren, has over 40 years experience with birds and a wide variety of species. Jaimi has followed closely and with great interest the research work of Dr Irene Pepperberg and Alex her African Grey that she purchased in 1976 to prove to the world that the ter

m "Bird Brian" is actually a compliment and that these magnificent creatures are HIGHLY intelligent. Jaimi specializes in cognitive thought birds. She has taught many birds how to talk, play games and learn to fly. Her passion as a steward of these magnificent creatures is her life's focus, so much so that in 2007 she sold her business and dedicated her time to just taking care of the birds! The sale of her business enabled her to buy a larger house with more room to care for the birds. In addition to this new, larger location, she built on an addition specifically "For The Birds" =)

Outdoor "fair weather" aviaries are planned for future construction as finances allow. Once Upon A Wing is dedicated to the personal care, nutrition, health care, housing, and toys for each of the birds that live at the sanctuary. This is a sizable expense. Any and all donations monetary or otherwise are greatly appreciated. One of the ways we raise funds for our sanctuary birds is by offering Oregonians a fun and loving environment for your feathered kids while you are away from home. We ask that you please have a copy of a recent (within 3 months) veterinarian record showing your bird is in good health and is free from any and all possible contagious ailments. This is for the protection of our sanctuary birds as well as other birds visiting in the bird resort. We require this of ALL birds to protect your birds as well. We charge $20 a day for medium to large birds and $15 a day for small birds. We give a 10% discount for our cash paying clients. We have pick up and delivery service available for $20 each way. Payment in full for your booking is required upon arrival. We accept PayPal.

Brilliant Birdie!

We are seeking the right home for a female Eclectus. This bird will take a woman who is EXTREMELY good with birds (she tolerates men) and has a long history of living with birds, knowledge of their psychology and care. Specifically knowledge of this female species of birds. This bird needs a quiet home and enviroment with someone who can spend a LOT of time with her. She is aggressive to other birds and will try to kill them (or succeed). So please, if you have other birds? This is not a bird for your home. She is overstimulated in our environment here at our parrot rescue. She bites. Let me rephrase, she attacks. When overstimulated by other animals, noises or even loud voices she will turn on the humans she loves and bite. She is not to be trusted around children, although she has never bitten any of our grandchildren. I have let them hold her, but that is because I'm super protective of them and I know her behavior and when she is emotionally capable of being held. I hand raised this bird from a fledgling and we love her very much. She is good with our two cats. She has never hurt our dogs, but our cats amd dogs know her behavior also, they have been raised around her. She is 6 years old. We are broken hearted at the idea of rehoming her, but we do want what is best for her and she is simply overstimulated here and obviously not happy here. We would like a Central Oregon home for her so she can easily come back to us if a new home doesn't work out for her. Please friend me and private message me if you have questions or are interested. We are going to put her on medication for her aggressive behavior. We are praying it has a positive impact on her. Additionally, if you are reading this, and you or someone you know has ever experienced something like this with a female Eclectus? PLEASE contact me. In my 44 years of experience with raising, rescuing, and traning of all parrot species, I have never seen anything like this.

Anna has been with us for approx. 6 months now. She doesn't talk much but that doesn't mean she isn't vocal! Anna is both sweet and funny. The class clown? She seems to be more of a lady's bird but is getting better at accepting and asking for attention and affection from men. Anna has "stranger danger" meaning she takes a while to warm up to knew people. Anna is not an easy keeper. She requires the same attention as a 2 year old child only she eats WAY more! She goes through toys at the speed of light lol. We do our best to make her toys and get what we can from second hand stores that we enjoy supporting like the Deschutes County Humane Society Thrift Store and City Center Thrift of Bend.

If you would Iike to help enrich the Iives of the flock at Once Upon a Wing, you can donate grocery gift cards for fresh foods, send a gift via your favorite pet store of toys or food, (message us for mailing address) from any online store such as Dr.Foster & Smith, King's Cages or The Safe Bird Store. Thank you for your support ♡ ~Jaimi

I'm so thankful for our flock and the wonderful people we meet along our journey here ♡ Happy Thanksgiving everyone =)
