Donations

We received from our generous donors the sum of 5010.15 $ in money, as well as 26 used cages for small and large parrots. We keep these cages in reserve for birds that will need to stay in our foster families.

We have also been able to support different organizations and shelters ourselves, by taking care of certain birds and offering bags of food and toys for the birds.

In order to respect people's confidentiality, only donors who request it will be mentioned. Every donation is important. It is thanks to your donations that the birds staying in foster families can be accommodated and obtain adequate care.

Perroquetsecours is a Registered Charity Organization, which means that your donation is entirely dedicated to our cause and entitles you to a provincial and federal tax credit.

In the name of all these birds…Thank you!
