Why Should I Volunteer?

Volunteering at Greyhaven Exotic Bird Sanctuary is a rewarding way to make a real difference in the lives of rescued parrots. By giving your time and energy, you help provide a safe, loving environment for these intelligent and social birds.

Your Duties May Include:

  • Cage Cleaning – Keeping our parrots’ living spaces clean and comfortable.

  • Feeding and Watering – Ensuring all birds have nutritious food and fresh water every day.

  • Toy-Making – Creating enrichment items to keep our parrots mentally stimulated and happy.

  • General Cleaning – Sweeping and mopping floors to maintain a healthy, sanitary environment.

  • Laundry – Washing towels, blankets, and other items used throughout the sanctuary.

  • Socializing and Interacting with Parrots – Spending quality time with our birds, building trust, and helping them feel safe and loved.

Volunteering isn’t just about helping the birds—it’s also an opportunity to learn about parrot care, meet fellow bird enthusiasts, and be part of a compassionate community dedicated to rescue and education. Every hour you spend at Greyhaven directly improves the quality of life for the parrots and helps us continue our mission.

Volunteer Information

To become a volunteer, please complete the application form. We ask for a minimum commitment of three months. Once your application is received, a Volunteer Coordinator will contact you to discuss the next steps. You will then be scheduled for a shift, during which experienced volunteers will provide hands-on instruction until you feel comfortable handling your responsibilities. Volunteers must be at least 19 years old, and due to the common use of tree nuts and peanuts in parrot foods, volunteering is not suitable for anyone with nut allergies.
