About MIDWEST AVIAN ADOPTION & RESCUE SERVICES INC

Midwest Avian Adoption & Rescue Services, Inc. (MAARS) is a Minnesota-based 501(c)(3) nonprofit founded in July 1999 that rescues, rehabilitates, and places captive parrots and other companion birds. The organization operates a permanent sanctuary known as The Landing, provides lifetime care for long-term residents, and maintains adoption programs for suitable birds.

MAARS is volunteer-driven and combines direct animal care with public education and fundraising programs (for example, art sales and a yearly flock calendar) to support its flock and operations. Since its founding, MAARS reports taking in nearly 1,500 birds and successfully placing more than 1,400 into permanent homes.

MAARS has been actively publishing news and program updates in recent years (including site news items dated December 15, 2025, and April 27–28, 2026) and lists ongoing educational offerings and fundraising initiatives (including a Captive Bird Care Basics program and donor-facing merchandise) to support sanctuary operations.
