About the Blue-headed parrot
Mid-sized parrot recognized by an entirely cobalt-blue head and chest over a green body. It flies in compact flocks at dawn and dusk. In Colombia it is a frequent target of the illegal trade because it readily learns sounds.
Its journey back to the wild
Every individual follows the same open method: rescue and health evaluation, then free-flight training through increasingly complex environments (pre-release), and finally release with months of feeder-based post-release monitoring back in the tropical dry forest. Your sponsorship keeps that whole process running.

What you sponsor is a process — not a pet. In Colombia, wild fauna belongs to the Nation: it cannot be owned, bought or "adopted". When you sponsor a species you fund its rehabilitation and release process — food, veterinary care, free-flight training, post-release monitoring and the community work that keeps released birds safe. Individuals are identified only by their numbered ID tags, never as pets.
As a sponsor you receive photos and videos of the process, updates from our rangers and veterinarian, a monthly report, team testimonials, and recognition in our sponsors list and on social media.
