New Life Parrot Rescue

Our mission is:

  • To provide shelter for unwanted, neglected, traumatised, abused and bequeathed companion psittacines.
  • To rehabilitate attentively, care for and ease suffering.
  • To provide a permanent sanctuary for traumatised, disabled, sensitive and difficult companion psittacines.
  • To promote and support for public benefit the caring for psittacines in captivity.
  • To educate the public in aviculture and conservation and related avian/human diseases (zoonotic diseases).


Please note: It is NLPR's intention to reformulate its Objectives with the Charity Commissioner at the earliest opportunity, as our ethical policies have changed since formulating them in 1996 and, as such, we now work under a new ethos.

Decline in Charity Donations

FORTY PER CENT DECLINE IN CHARITY DONATIONS

Times are hard for almost everyone but there has been a serious 40 per cent decline in charity donations. This decline has also affected NLPR. News of many small animal rescue charities in financial crisis or have gone under is on the increase. This sadly epitomises the current financial trend. The question is: what happens to all those unwanted animals that were in protective shelter? Lack of good home placements and with the increasing collapse of small animal rescue charities, animal suffering is on the rise and more are facing euthanasia.

CHEESE IS NOT GOOD FOR AVIAN SPECIES

Homeless parrots reach saturation point

Submitted by annjulie on Sun, 04/05/2009 - 18:12.

Whether it is a new baby, a house move, a  relationship break-up, the current financial climate or spring fever / hormonal behaviour, parrots are losing their homes at an alarming rate, to the point where parrot rescue organisations cannot keep pace.

Charities are now suffering a downturn in donations due to the current financial slump.  It is understandable that 'charity begins at home', but it is wrong to overburden animal shelters with your once beloved animal / parrot when the going gets tough, as we are all affected, one way or another.

Beware of Bad Seed

Latest News!

In December 2008, NLPR discovered foreign matter in a couple of sacks of sunflower seed, purchased from Rob Harvey but the main supplier is Bartholomews seeds.  The foreign matter resembled dried rodent droppings. We had fed one third of the sack to our birds before discovering the foreign matter.  We immediately stopped feeding the seed and contacted Harvey, who informed Bartholomews of the problem.  After viewing the images we sent, Bartholomews said the foreign matter was ergot and harmless to birds.  Check out the harmful affects of ergot poisoning and you’ll see that it is indeed harmful to people, cattle and most other living creatures.

We are delighted to make this announcement. Colleen Seymour and Frank Walsh, personal friends of Julie and John Hamilton and long standing supporters of NLPR, launched their new brewery business in 2006 at St Jude's Brewery, and are sponsoring this ale, specially concocted for NLPR. NLPR will receive 25% of the revenue raised from the sale of each bottle. To our knowledge, this is the first ale in the UK designed to help raise money for an animal charity. Not only this, NLPR ale is made using an ethical green system, as with all ales made by St. Jude's Brewery!

Our sincere thanks and appreciation to Colleen and Frank for this sponsorship. All at NLPR wish them well in their new venture! We are delighted and have high hopes of it reaching its full potential.
