Endangered Parrot Trust, Inc. was founded in 1996 as a not for profit corporation. A perpetual Trust dedicated to the rescue, breeding and emergency short & long term boarding of all Parrots (Psitticine Species). By providing a staff and facilities to accept, care for and breed birds we are striving to preserve not just those species considered rare in American Aviculture but those that today are common in captivity. Birds that won’t exist in the wild during the next century due to habitat destruction, pesticides and natural disasters.

We make it our policy to accept any and all birds, by donation, for which suitable care and housing can be provided. Public institutions recognizably can and do provide a service by taking in pets and other wildlife from private individuals. At Endangered Parrot Trust we provide an alternative to these institutions by supplying necessary housing of what are usually considered common species. We labor to assist Aviculturists and Zoos as well as Government agencies in such a way as to provide facilities for propagation purposes. Information obtained as procedures and techniques develop become educational tools to support Avicultural and Zoological interests for use in propagation operations.

We are a 501(c)-3 Charitable Organization registered with The Internal Revenue Service. It is the objective of the foundation to become self-sustaining through grants and donations from institutions and other organizations. As well as from private individuals and revenues created by the production and sale of progeny of common parrots produced at E.P.T., Inc.

Endangered Parrot Trust is a volunteer not for profit Florida Corporation qualifying under I.R.S. Section 501(c)-3 Organizations whose principal place of business is in Ocala, Florida. The Trust exists for the sole purpose of increasing and diversifying the genetic pool of various endangered parrots by captive propagation. Through newsletters and meetings The Trust strives to make scientific propagation research available to the public, to increase awareness of the plight of endangered parrots and to enable bird owners to utilize the latest scientific research in breeding their own parrots. Additionally we are the only true perpetual care rescue center in the United States for unwanted, abused or neglected parrots and have been designed for emergency short and long term boarding of birds.

Donations of birds, equipment or monies are tax-deductible. All pet birds The Trust receives are maintained in perpetuity and none can be sold, traded or adopted out. Only through support and generous contributions from people like you could The Trust continue to exist. We would greatly appreciate your financial help and proudly strive towards the peace and well-being of our feathered friends!
