Animal Rescue is not all glamorous and you don't have to be an experienced aviculturist to join our team. Although we love the parrots first and foremost, there is a lot of work involved, and many times not enough hands to get it all done. It's been said that volunteers are the lifeblood of the animal rescue process, and to keep our lifeline beating, we can use YOU no matter what skills you may possess.
Just a few examples:
Food prep: dishing out seed, providing fresh water, cleaning and preparing fresh fruit & vegetables, providing nutritious treats suitable for the bird's needs.
Cleaning: cages, grounds, equipment, bird's seed and water cups, toys, etc.
Landscaping: keeping paths free of debris, planting and transplanting landscape, clearing overgrown areas, filling potholes in walkways and drive, raking, cutting dead growth, etc.
Clerical Work: Helping maintain records, writing interesting articles for social media, design and process flyers.

About Zaksee Florida Bird Sanctuary, Inc
Location:
7647 Gardner Rd, Tampa, FL 33625, US
Mission Statement
Our mission is to be the best (exotic) Bird Sanctuary in Florida, and a full care facility for orphaned exotic birds. We are a loving, nurturing refuge for Macaws, Cockatoos, Amazons, African Greys, Eclectus Parrots, Sun Conures and various other exotic birds. Zaksee Florida Bird Sanctuary is an important step in helping no-longer wanted, unloved or abused parrots find their forever home. We never breed nor sell our rescued friends.
Description
Established in 2010, Zaksee Florida Bird Sanctuary was created for one reason only, "to provide a safe, and loving home for orphaned parrots that truly need care". Our sanctuary is nestled in a surprisingly unsuspected suburb of Tampa, Fl., located on 5 unspoiled acres surrounded by rolling streams of fresh water, and luscious tropical greenery. The ambiance is a breathtaking combination of natural Florida beauty and our man-made habitats. Due to the nature of our location and residents, we are continually working to upgrade our existing habitats, while constructing new aviaries for our growing population. It is a labor of love.
Our compassionate love for orphaned parrots, of all types, is what drives our sanctuary. Each and every bird in our care receives personal attention and interaction at feeding time and throughout the day. We provide a loving home and a safe haven for parrots in an environment of spacious aviaries, allowing them to fly freely, yet safely, while exercising those big beautiful wings as nature intended. We never breed, nor sell our birds, but strive to provide the love and attention they so desperately deserve. Our list of birds waiting for placement grows daily, however we try to accommodate parrots requiring our immediate attention.
We are not funded by the government, nor any corporation, but depend on the generosity of donors and volunteers like you.
