The Chloe Sanctuary is a 501(C)3 nonprofit that gives sanctuary to physically & emotionally damaged parrots & produces educational videos.

The Chloe Sanctuary’s main purpose is to give its residents entertainment, education, socialization and physical care. The primary tool used to enrich their lives is the application of Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) to insure that they are well adapted to life here and that they receive the emotional support that they need. We use a Quality of Life Assessment (QoL) as a clear guide to determine the best course of action to minimize the adverse effects of captivity. While the basis for caring for them remains scientific, loving-kindness guides our actions with each of our residents.

Our secondary focus is to educate the public on the nature of these amazing creatures and inspire others to learn about them and to support their conservation in the wild. While it is true that some human caretakers can do a wonderful job of caring for them, the vast majority of people do not have the patience, understanding, wherewithal, or perseverance to care for them in the long term.

The Chloe Sanctuary for Parrots and Cockatoos places birds in good homes in the San Diego and Southern Riverside areas. Before placing them, we evaluate their emotional and physical well being. Once they are ready, we find them good homes where, with the proper love and understanding, everyone can be happy.

We often take in abused, physically challenged, and emotionally unstable birds to heal them. Pebblez, pictured above, was one such bird who came to us and received love and care until the end of his days . When possible, we place these babies in good homes. When this is not possible we care for them for life. They deserve the best care no matter how damaged they may be.

The Chloe Sanctuary is a scientificially-based environment where parrots and cockatoos are healed, volunteers and caretakers are trained, and the public made aware of these exceptional creatures. Using hands-on education and lectures, seminars and adoption events, we share our knowledge and love for these wild animals. Without knowledge the untrained caretaker can emotionally damage a parrot and they may scream continuously, bite or rip out their own feathers. These are not normal behaviors; they all stem from improper handling by humans. With affection and understanding the naturally loving nature of these magnificent creatures can shine out.
