Established in 2007 on 15 rural acres in Hope Valley, Rhode Island, The New England Exotic Wildlife Sanctuary is a lifetime care sanctuary facility for retiring and unadoptable (wild!) parrots and a limited number of other displaced exotic animals. With over 550 parrots under our care, we are the largest parrot rescue and sanctuary organization in the Northeast.
By concentrating our focus on parrots, we are extending a vital service to a commercially marketed “pet” that begins its journey at a disadvantage simply by virtue of its wild nature. By opening our doors to other exotic wild animals that also suffer as “pets” or in captive situations, we are placing parrots in their proper context along side other wild animals, reminding people that this is, in fact, what parrots are.
