What you'll do
Every parrot has a story. You’ll learn all about our rainbow-colored rescues in Kona’s only parrot sanctuary.
We’ll start with our mission: to give every displaced parrot a nutritious diet, large space to fly, and a safe place to interact with other parrots (and people).
Next, we'll take a walk around the sanctuary, where you can get to know the range of personalities of cockatoos, lovebirds, macaws, and more species.
Throughout the tour, you will have many photo opportunities, especially with our well-trained parrots.
Other things to note
Wear casual clothes, closed-toe shoes, sunscreen, and a hat, and bring a camera. Parrots in Paradise Sanctuary is also home to three rescue dogs and a tortoise.

I grew up on the Big Island and have always been surrounded by lush trees, the captivating ocean, and tropical animals that give Hawaii an energy that can’t be replaced.
Our family started noticing a large amount of parrots who outlived their owners (parrots can live up to 100 years)! There was no place for them to call home, so we decided to build one.
Since then, my family has rescued parrots globally for the last 18 years.

What a magical and special place!
Dorothy and Jerry are lovely people that clearly have compassion for not only the rescue birds that reside in their sanctuary, but all living beings. Exceptional storytellers, we got to know each and every bird’s story and personality quirks. We even got to befriend and meet a few. We also really appreciated the conservation and animal care messages they interweaved into the tour. The sanctuary is well maintained and their property is absolutely stunning. Thank you, Dorothy and Jerry!

Very wholesome experience! The tour is fun and very informative. You get to hear stories about each parrot and type of parrot, and you really feel the sanctuary's love and passion for the parrots. There are a few parrots that you can pick up and interact with (if the parrot is interested)! This experience is best for people that want to learn about parrots and be close to them!

The loving hearts of the family that runs this sanctuary make it a special opportunity to experience and see how much they care for these beautiful birds with long lives. The views from the property are incredible, the birds are happy and well-cared for, and you will be doing your small part in contributing to their cause. It was fun and they let us stay and talk a while, and did not rush us off. Good people, great and worthy cause, and a wonderful time!

This experience was amazing!!! My husband and I wanted to do something cool and exciting while here and this went above and beyond our expectations!!
