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.

I am a volunteer at Zaksee and I love every single second I am there! Majid (pronounced magic) is incredibly selfless in his dedication to these beautiful creatures. His knowledge is extensive. He puts in 12 hour days, 7 days a week to upkeep the birds and surroundings along with a handful of us volunteers. After all the birds are fed and watered in the morning then we take the time to sit and socialize with the cockatoos, parrots and love birds that can be trusted to be removed from their cages. We love them to pieces and get as much from our “cuddle time” as the birds believe me. The other Macaws, African Greys, Sun Conures, Parrots etc that are caged are fed individualized treats and talked too extensively. We have many games like peek a boo, dancing, singing and generally acting silly. There is of course the cage cleaning, sometimes helping with cage building or moving, some landscaping work etc.
