Donate a nest
Give them a home. Give them a future.
Ongoing initiative · 2026 goal
We give them mates. We give them food. We give them home. And that's why they stay.
This isn't charity. It's ecological infrastructure. Each artificial nest replaces a natural cavity lost to tropical dry forest deforestation — and allows rehabilitated birds to reproduce, fix territory, and remain in protected zones. Without nests, there's no second generation. With nests, there is.
The problem
No old trees, no nests
Three simultaneous realities that leave psittacines with nowhere to reproduce.
Parrots don't build nests
They are cavity nesters: they depend on holes that already exist in old trees. They don't have the behavior or the anatomy to build from scratch.
They depend on centenary trees
Natural cavities form over decades — wounds, fungi, fallen branches. Only very old trees have them in sufficient numbers.
Those trees are gone
Colombian tropical dry forest has lost over 95% of its original cover. The few old trees that remain are scattered and under constant pressure.
The solution
Build what's missing
Four elements that turn a donation into living infrastructure.
Artificial nests
Wooden boxes designed with dimensions, material, and entry specs tailored for tropical dry forest psittacines. Not just any box: replicas of the ideal cavity.
Installation in monitored sectors
Nests are placed on selected trees within the reserve, at safe heights, in zones with confirmed presence of rehabilitated free-flying birds.
Territorial fidelity
A well-placed nest anchors the pair to the territory. The female picks a cavity and returns each season. Dispersion drops, survival rises.
Monitoring and replacement
Each nest is checked periodically: occupancy, breeding success, wear. Replaced when needed. Your donation funds the full cycle, not just installation.
Thisis a win.
A pair chose this nest to breed. This is not decoration — it is reproductive behavior, territorial fidelity, and the first signal that the rehabilitated population is beginning to stay.
Every box that goes into the forest opens up the possibility of another scene like this one. Without nests, this moment does not exist.
The nest anchors the parrots. Reduces dispersion. Improves reintegration.
Releasing a bird without a place to start a family is a half-victory. The territorial fidelity that comes from a well-placed nest is what turns a single release into a population that stays.

33/ 100
nests installed
33%
The number grows as each nest is installed in the field. Each new nest is work done — not announcement.
