Symbolic Parrot Oasis: Gorda (Granny)

$50.00

The Toucan Rescue Ranch rescues dozens of parrots every year. Nearly all of them are confiscated from people’s homes as illegal pets. In Costa Rica, it is illegal to own any native wildlife as a pet. Traditionally, Costa Rican families have kept these animals in their homes which has caused a huge unreleasable permanent resident population for rescue centers like Toucan Rescue Ranch.

Description

We do not physically sell or adopt out any of the rescued wildlife in Toucan Rescue Ranch’s care. Our Adoption Program is purely symbolic and a unique way for supporters to donate to our mission and their favorite animal.
In Costa Rica, it is illegal to sell or own any native fauna. As a licensed rescue center, it is our duty to uphold the law and what it stands for. As well as being illegal in the country of Costa Rica, it is a core part of TRR’s mission to protect wildlife from the illegal pet trade – as this is something we combat every day. ADOPTION DONATIONS ARE NONREFUNDABLE.
