Serenity Park

Serenity Park Parrot Sanctuary

Located within a 20 acre garden on the grounds of the VA Hospital in West Los Angeles an interesting interaction between  parrots and veterans is taking place.  Here the returning heroes (veterans) get a chance to step outside the brick and mortar of the VA hospital and work with these feathered therapists.  We depend on private donations to support our program because we receive no governmental funds at all.  Your support of our nation’s heroes is something we would be extremely thankful for as we always have both veterans and parrots in need.  As our program at the Veterans Hospital in West Los Angeles expands we will better assist these veterans in reintegrating back into the community and the workforce.  As you know, we do this through our work therapy program involving the use of parrots to help with our veterans’ rehabilitation – many of these vets (due to physical and psychological impairments) need a serene place to work in preparation for returning to full time employment.   The parrots, too, benefit from having a loving place to live permanently as many have gone from home to home before arriving at Serenity Park. 

We thank you for doing what you do for veterans and ask if you have the budget to help us we would appreciate it in so many ways!

Here are some of the birds who help with the healing...

We believe if they have wings they shall fly.  The aviaries at Serenity Park allow the birds to be birds.  They flock, forage, and fly in a self-developed flock.  No small cages or isolation for those who come to live at Serenity Park.  The veterans feed two hot meals and multiple forage trays everyday and the veterans/caregivers sit on chairs in the aviaries with the birds in the afternoon.
