Parrot Island Sanctuary

It is truly wonderful to see people so passionate about parrots dedicated to conservation and education. Thoroughly enjoyed the birds (although, if you don't like loud noises this isn't for you). I fell in love with a few of them and never wanted to stop giving them head scratches.

It’s a good place to visit specially if you are in the area. The old couple have dedicated their life to take care of these amazing Parrots which would be in trouble somewhere else. The most interesting part of my experience was a Parrot interacting with me and waving his claws to say hello.

Visited Parrot Island during our summer vacation with the kids. The owners are very nice people, passionate about the birds, and are very informative about what they are doing. This is a rescue facility and its amazing how the birds are affected and need to be loved and treated. They all have their own personalities and made us as parents laugh and the kids giggle and dance with them. We would definitely recommend people go see the birds, donate to the cause of the sanctuary, and become more educated about parrots. I agreed 100% with the owners; they should be left in the wild. Not as a pet

The family that runs this place is doing it for a good cause. The parrots are lovely creatures and misunderstood to be raised as pets. In reality you'll learn that these lovely creatures belong in the wild and millions become household pets; only to be given up later, as they can only be loyal to one individual person. The parrots loved us and tried to talk to us, that was a highlight of our trip.

Thumbs up for the owners who make this possible. This is not a zoo nor attraction, but a real safehaven for neglected parrots. The owner himself would prefer all these birds in the wild and that no humans would have them as pets. These animals are to beautiful and intelligent to cage. Its nice to get the chance to see them and interact with them, but you feel that we shouldnt bring them up this way.

Absolutely loved this place. Saw the signs along the highway and figured we would check it out. The owners are very informative and passionate about their birds. Learned a lot about these beautiful creatures. Lots of laughs dancing with the birds.

Fantastic place. But don't come here if you're expecting a zoo. And if you're upset about birds being caged that's not what is happening here. It's run by a fantastic couple who will explain everything and teach you quote a bit about parrots. They're all rescues because of how many unwanted parrots there are in Canada alone. Without parrot island I suspect many of these birds would be abused or dead. It's open to public as birds are very expensive. You're coming here for a nice educational experience and to support a good cause. You get to see what you're supporting too. Think of it like you're donating to a charity, but you know exactly where your money is going. I saw some other comments about the birds biting, they tell you before you enter DO NOT PUT YOUR FINGERS NEAR THE CAGE. If you got bit and posted a negative review, you're actually just an idiot. Follow the rules, learn something new and donate to a good cause.

Very interesting place to learn about parrots. The keeper, Ray, gave very interesting facts about parrots and opens the eyes of visitors about the sad fact of deteriorating number of these birds. I'm so glad to learn about the program that this place run in caring for the parrots. Must visit place when in Peachland, BC.
