We are in need of volunteers in the following areas:
- cleaning (always needed! birds are messy!)
- gardening (we raise chemical free food to help offset our costs)
- socialization (some birds would love to have some human friends)
- fundraising (care of this many birds means we can always use funds)
- outreach and education (appear on our behalf at events, speak to classes or groups)
- toymaking (always a good time both for us and for the birds)
- construction and skilled trades (we are building, and growing to give the birds a better life)
- various other opportunities that arise as we grow and expand!
We now house over 100 birds on site, and have several more in foster care. We are in desperate need of committed volunteers who share our passion for giving unwanted companion parrots a better life. We especially need help raising funds, so that the first aviary can be completed. It's total cost so far has been over $10,000 with fundraisers for these projects raising less than $500, and $300. We are bearing a lot of the expenses ourselves as we can save up for them. This makes progress horribly slow! A project that should have taken months has taken years, because of lack of funds. If you are skilled at organizing and running fundraising events, either live in person or on social media, we could definitely use a hand!

Mission Statement
Our mission is to change the world for the better for companion birds. We accomplish this by offering care, shelter and sanctuary to displaced birds, networking with other organizations to help even more birds, assisting families who live with companion birds who are experiencing difficulties, working with other organizations to improve quality of care in rescues, educating the public on living with companion birds and their unique and complex needs, and continually advocating for raising standards of care for all companion birds.
Description
Marden's Ark Avian Refuge is a 501(c)(3) non-profit sanctuary-type rescue for companion birds. We accept companion birds regardless of their potential as rehome-able "pets" and they are given a safe place to live with healthy food, companionship, and enrichment including time out of cages every day. We believe flight is an important and essential part of being a bird and only clip wings if the bird is posing a serious danger to themselves. We offer love and compassion to all birds, regardless of species because we believe that a tiny budgie has the same thoughts and emotions as a majestic macaw.
