All Star Parrot Rescue and Rehoming is a non-profit making charity which is run by four Directors.
We are committed and passionate about parrots. we are parrot owners ourselves with a wealth of experience and various levels of knowledge. Between the ASP team our knowledge is vast we know a little of everything. We are not claiming to be experts. However, our experiences have taught as much over the years. ASP are here to help you however we can.
The aim of ‘ASP’ is to take in unwanted parrots, to rescue, rehabilitate and rehome. We will never turn a bird away regardless of health, condition, age or behavioural problem. Most parrots that are surrendered into our care come from loving homes; a change of circumstances leads to the need to be rehomed.’ASP’ has a network of registered safe houses and welfare officers throughout the UK.
We are made up of home-based volunteers. Without their support and care we would not be able to do our jobs. To these we are truly thankful for their continuous hard work and help; day or night. We receive no form of income for our work.
We rely on donations and fundraising to cover our veterinary and running costs. If you would like to make a donation you can do so via bank transfer or paypal. Details are below.

If we are unable to help we will contact other established charities / rescues to ask for their assistance. In turn we will help others where possible.

The combination of high heat and humidity are particularly dangerous.Birds have no sweat glands. They cool themselves by rapid breathing with their mouths open and by holding their wings out slightly from their bodies. The underneath of a bird’s wing has no feathers and the main wing artery is in that region. If a bird is running a fever or is suffering from heat stress, this area will feel very hot to the touch.If a bird is displaying the effects of heat stress, it needs to be immediately cooled down with a gentle spray of water or damping with a cool sponge under his wings, feet and beak.He should be taken immediately to an avian veterinarian.Keep the car cool with the air conditioner but ensure that the air doesn’t blow directly on to the bird.In mild cases of stress or just to cool a bird down where misting hasn’t worked, take a clean sponge, dipping it into cool water and squeezing it onto the skin under each wing.Do this several times on each side and let the cool cloth sit there for a few minutes between fresh rinses. If the bird relaxes and begins to show signs of enjoying it, use the wet rag to dampen down his bottom half including his chest, feet and belly.Allow the bird to drip dry in a cool, well ventilated area. Air movement is important to allow the bird to continue to cool down but don’t let the breeze blow directly on to him.For those with large aviaries, installing a fogger to mist the entire area will have a massive cooling effect. Alternatively, hose down the floors and walls of the area or put a small sprinkler just on the outside of the aviary. This can make a bit of a mess but your birds will love you for it. Offer shade Be sure your bird’s cage isn’t in direct sunlight, but kept in a shady area.Think of moving their cage into a spot where they will be more comfortable in the summer.Try a tiled room, when it’s hot.Give them a light mistA light mist spray will help keep your bird cool. You can do this manually using a spray bottle if you’re at home throughout the day.Provide a bathBirds love to frolic in cool water to help them regulate their temperature.Add a shallow dish filled with just a couple of centimetres of water into your bird’s cage for it to bathe in. Or, buy a bird bath that can be attached to the cage. Keep the water clean by changing it regularly.Keep things breezyIf you have your bird inside, it can still be quite warm. You might want to consider leaving a fan on (low speed) near their enclosure for a short period. It’s best if you’re nearby just to ensure they are safe.Keep their water fullOn hot days water can evaporate quickly, so check it regularly and keep it full for your feathered friend. Think about installing a second water feeder if needed for the hot months.The wet blanket methodThe wet blanket technique can be used in conjunction with the shaded technique to ensure your bird will stay comfortable throughout the day. Get a towel or two, soak them in water, and then wring them out so they’re no longer dripping wet. Then, drape the towels over the top of your bird’s cage. This will provide a deeper level of shade, as well as a satisfying coolness and rainforest style conditions for your bird.Remove or minimise all other stressesThe heat will already have your bird’s heart rate higher than normal, so make sure that any other pets who might cause your bird a bit of stress are properly out of the way. This won’t keep your bird cool, but it will help to ensure they aren’t exhausted any more than they need to be.EscapeWith the warm weather comes open windows and heavy foot traffic in and out of the house. There are many more opportunities for the escape of un-caged birds than there are in the winter months.Make sure all open windows are screened. Devise a system that clearly alerts all members of the family as to the bird’s whereabouts. One of the main causes of escape is when owner take their birds outside unrestrained.Over and over, people are warned that clipped birds CAN fly, that a loud sound or unfamiliar sight can cause even the most time-tested shoulder-bound bird to fly off in fear. Many are gone for good.Always take your birds outside in a carrier or on a harness.Never get so comfortable that you come to believe you can forecast your bird’s actions.Birds do things for reasons that are their own, which may or may not make any sense to a human being. Many birds fly off terrified and do NOT return to the safety of their owners arms as would be expected, but instead fly further away. You can save yourself and your bird a lot of suffering if you follow this advice.If you are concerned that your bird may be suffering from any illness, including heat related stress. Please call your avian vet immediately. ... See MoreSee Less
