Flying Colors Bird Sanctuary of NC
appreciates your support!
Flying Colors Bird Sanctuary of NC, Inc. (FCBS) has been rescuing birds in a small facility located in the home of the founder. The maximum capacity is thirty - forty bird residents, depending on size and space availability. There are several permanent residents, an adoption program, an outreach program, educational videos and events.
FCBS has devoted the past five years to rescuing birds and giving them temporary and permanent homes at the facility with a completely volunteer staff. Last year all services were provided with the help of 3,544 hours of volunteer time. Without the volunteers, this program would not exist. Through continuous research and study, the executive director, Catherine O’Brien has earned her certification in avian aviculture and bird care. The volunteer Board of Directors and Advisor's at Flying Colors work with local licensed avian veterinarians, other local rescues, and public educators dedicated to supporting our mission and promoting public awareness.
Each year Flying Colors receives hundreds of calls. Sometimes the request is for one bird or as many as one hundred and fifty that are homeless or unwanted. It’s impossible to house that many requests. Most appeals are subsequently put on a waiting list.
