Phoenix is outside with all the other birds. He really enjoys his chop. He especially loves dipping it into water! 🥗💧
Wednesday wisdom from Phoenix: Sometimes the simple pleasures are the best ones. Good food, good friends, sunshine, and the freedom to dip your dinner in water if that's what makes you happy!
This photo from 2019 shows what conservation success looks like - not just a bird that survived, but a bird that's living his absolute best life with his flock family.
3 more days until our big July 28th revelation! Anyone want to guess what we discovered?

Houdini went to visit granny with me after hitting Tractor Supply. Then we stopped at a gas station and I ran in... 🚗
Tuesday throwback to 2021 when Houdini was living his best life as my co-pilot! This little adventure buddy proves that sanctuary birds don't just survive - they thrive, they explore, they become family members who go on errands!
This video perfectly captures what makes us different. We're not just a rescue - we're a family where birds get to be individuals with their own personalities and adventures.
Granny loved him, by the way. Who wouldn't? 😂

Hamish enjoying some country views with Margaret 🌾
Monday motivation from our archives! Look at this handsome fellow soaking up the good life. This is what recovery looks like - not just survival, but actually enjoying the view again.
Every bird here gets their 'country views' moment. That peaceful time when they realize they're safe, they're loved, and they can just... be birds again.
We're one week away from our big reveal about July 28th, and I'm getting goosebumps thinking about how all these moments connect to something so much bigger!

Ray Ray is my little snuggle bug. He loves to give kisses. It's all fun and games until I get bit! 😂
Saturday mood brought to you by this sweet boy who perfectly represents the sanctuary life - 99% pure love, 1% 'OUCH WHY DID YOU BITE ME?!'
Every bird here teaches us something different. Ray Ray taught us that love comes with risks, but it's always worth it. Even when you're nursing bite marks!
Fun weekend question: What's the weirdest way an animal has shown you affection? Share your stories!

Shazam is looking for a wife. He has a ring and everything! He's the most eligible bachelor but watch out - he is very fond of kissing the ladies! 😘💍
This handsome devil from our 2017 archives reminds me why we do what we do. It's not just about rescue - it's about hope, love, and second chances at happiness.
Even our most charming Casanova here deserves to find his special someone. That's conservation with a capital C - believing every individual deserves their happily ever after.
Ladies, applications are still being accepted. Must love kisses and have patience for a bird with commitment issues! 😂

Throwback Thursday to when we were getting all educational about Keel-billed Toucans! 🦜
Fun fact: In 2018 we were sharing cool bird facts on July 28th. In 2017 we were teaching about Vasa Parrots on July 28th. Sensing a pattern yet?
Turns out we've been accidentally participating in World Nature Conservation Day for over a decade by sharing educational content about the birds we don't even have here!
Who knew that posting random cool bird facts was actually part of a global conservation movement? The universe really does have jokes! 😂
What's your favorite exotic bird species? Tell me in the comments!

Pearl wanted to make sure I passed along this video to her original bird mom. Congratulations on your new job and new opportunities in life. Pearl always has your back! 💪
This was 2016, and Pearl was already showing us what conservation really means - it's not just about saving species, it's about individual relationships, second chances, and never giving up on someone you love.
Every bird here has a 'bird mom' or 'bird dad' somewhere. Every story matters. Every life counts.
That's the Ruffled Feathers difference - and apparently it's been our accidentally perfect conservation message for 15 years!

Chaco isn't quite ready to wake up today. Oh well, just 5 more minutes won't hurt... 😴
You know what? Sometimes I feel like Chaco here. Some mornings I wake up and think 'How did I end up running a parrot sanctuary?' Then I remember: it started with a guy watching baseball and celebrating Brandon Phillips' grand slam in 2010.
Plot twist: That same day - July 28th - would become our accidental conservation anniversary. Every. Single. Year.
Stay tuned, folks. This story gets weirder and more wonderful.

Sunday morning confession: For FIFTEEN YEARS we've been posting on July 28th without realizing it's World Nature Conservation Day. Talk about the universe having a sense of humor! 😂
This video from 2018 shows what 'just another night in the aviary' looks like - but spoiler alert: there's nothing 'just' about it. Every single one of these feathered goofballs has a story, and apparently we've been accidentally documenting conservation history one post at a time.
Who's ready for some mind-blowing revelations over the next two weeks? Because I'm about to blow your minds with what we discovered... 🤯

“In 24 hours, be ready for anything.” This year: baby bunnies, a baby opossum… and that’s just what fit in one photo.
