Anyone who’s ever had or loved a parrot – or any type of bird – knows just how much personality each has and how much fun it is to live with them. Unfortunately, animal lovers also know about the crisis that many birds, and other pets, face. Rescued from abuse, neglect, and homelessness, parrots and other avians find a safe haven – until a permanent home is found – or sanctuary for life at this amazing parrot sanctuary in Colorado that you can tour.
Embark on an inspirational 90-minute tour of The Gabriel Foundation, in Elizabeth, an aviary and adoption center that…

Matches parrots, and other birds, with potential adopters. And, the sanctuary provides a safe haven and a loving forever home for those birds who are not adoptable.

Set on 36 acres just outside of Elizabeth, the Aviary and Adoption Center spans 40,000 square feet and houses more than 800 birds.

In fact, each avian species has its own separate, predator-proof outdoor aviary, where they can stretch their wings and enjoy the fresh air.

And, all birds have access — in both the aviary and in their habitats — to a treasure trove of toys to keep them mentally and physically stimulated.

Of course, if you want to get an up-close look at what The Gabriel Foundation is all about, you can schedule a 90-minute tour.

During your tour, you’ll have the opportunity to watch an educational video, to ask a volunteer questions, and to meet some of the birds. (However, keep in mind that the tour is for educational purposes and not for guests to play with the resident birds.)
