Sponsor a species' return to the wild

You fund the rehabilitation and release process — not an animal.

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.

What your sponsorship includes

✓Photos & videos of the rehabilitation process. Feeding, training, releases and monitoring.
✓Updates from our field rangers. What's happening on the ground, from the people who watch over them.
✓Updates from our veterinarian. Health, recovery and welfare notes.
✓A monthly report. Progress of the species' process, by email.
✓Testimonials from our team. Voices from the rangers, vets and trainers.
✓Recognition. Your name in our sponsors list and a mention on social media.

Macaws

Ara ararauna
Blue-and-yellow macaw
One of the most recognizable macaws in the tropics: deep blue back, yellow chest and a white facial mask. They form stable pairs that fly together above the forest. In Colombia, populations have been pressed by the illegal pet trade.

Ara macao
Scarlet macaw
Known in Colombia as «guacamaya bandera» because its red, yellow and blue colours echo the national flag. They form lifelong pairs and need huge trees to nest — their recovery depends on mature, connected forests like the reserve's.

Ara severa
Chestnut-fronted macaw
A small macaw, mostly green, with chestnut forehead and cheeks and a flash of red beneath the wing. It flies in family flocks. Though its population is stable, in the Caribbean region it is pressed by the illegal capture of chicks.

Amazons

Amazona ochrocephala
Yellow-crowned amazon
Our flagship species. A large green parrot with yellow forehead and crown. The most-trafficked parrot in Colombia, and the reason Fundación Loros was founded. Its release was the subject of our peer-reviewed paper in Bird Conservation International.

Amazona amazonica
Orange-winged amazon
A common amazon of northern South America: green body, blue forehead, yellow cheeks and an orange wing patch that gives the species its name. Lives in pairs and noisy flocks; several rescued individuals share spaces during rehabilitation in the reserve.

Pionus

Pionus menstruus
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.

Parakeets

Brotogeris jugularis
Orange-chinned parakeet
A small, bright-green parakeet with an orange chin and a bronze wing patch. Flies in noisy, swift flocks above the dry-forest canopy. One of the most abundant parrot species in the region, though still vulnerable to the illegal trade.
- Sponsor →
Eupsittula pertinax
Brown-throated parakeet
A small green parakeet with a dusky brown face and throat. Common in the Colombian Caribbean, it lives in noisy flocks and nests in cavities and arboreal termite mounds, helping disperse dry-forest seeds. Though abundant, it is also taken by the illegal pet trade.
