A Love Story for Parrots at Gaia Animal Sanctuary

In the heart of Davie, Florida, a unique love story is unfolding, one that has touched the lives of countless parrots in need. Meet Cielo and Peter, a couple whose shared passion for birds led them to create Gaia Animal Sanctuary, a small parrot rescue that’s making a big difference.

Cielo and Peter’s journey began when they realized the growing issue of displaced parrots in their community. These intelligent and colorful birds, often purchased as pets, frequently found themselves in situations where they were no longer wanted or could not be cared for adequately. 

This sad reality struck a chord with Cielo and Peter, who firmly believed in second chances.

In 2020, they turned their passion into action. Together, they established Gaia Animal Sanctuary, a place where parrots could find refuge, care, and love. Named after the Greek goddess of the Earth, Gaia symbolizes their commitment to the well-being of these wonderful creatures and the world they inhabit.

Since its inception, Gaia Animal Sanctuary has become a haven for displaced parrots. Cielo and Peter have dedicated their lives to this project, ensuring that each bird that comes into their care is given the opportunity for a better life. They provide medical attention, nourishing diets, and, perhaps most importantly, a safe and nurturing environment where these parrots can spread their wings and find their voices once more.

Cielo, Peter, and the Parrot Family

Their story is a testament to the power of love, commitment, and the belief in second chances. Their sanctuary is a place where hope soars and where the colorful plumes of parrots symbolize not only their own renewal but also the hope that love can transform the lives of those who have been forgotten or discarded.

Cielo and Peter have not only changed the lives of parrots, but they have also enriched their own lives through the love they give and receive daily from their feathered friends.

Gaia Animal Sanctuary stands as a shining example of what a loving couple’s dedication can achieve, and it is an inspiring reminder that every being, no matter how small or feathered, deserves a chance to live a life filled with love and purpose.

Why we don’t adopt out our parrots:

Gaia Animal Sanctuary does not adopt out its parrots due to our unwavering commitment to their well-being and safety. These birds often come to us with complex histories and special needs, requiring long-term care and support.

Our mission is to provide them with a permanent and loving sanctuary where they can thrive. If you’re interested in adopting a parrot, we encourage you to consider Florida Parrot Rescue.

They specialize in parrot adoption and can guide you through the process, ensuring the best fit for both you and the parrot. To learn more, visit Florida Parrot Rescue. Your choice can make a lasting difference in a parrot’s life.

Together, we can make a difference in the lives of animals in our care and beyond.
