Our Story

PDS Parrot Shop was never meant to become a business.

It started with a rescue.

Years ago, we began taking in parrots that needed a second chance. Many arrived with medical issues, behavioral challenges, poor diets, or simply nowhere else to go. Like many rescues, we quickly learned that caring for parrots isn't inexpensive. Veterinary bills, specialized diets, medications, and enrichment supplies added up faster than we could keep up.

One of the biggest ongoing expenses was toys.

Parrots destroy toys because that's exactly what healthy parrots are supposed to do. Instead of constantly buying replacements, we started making our own. We spent countless hours researching bird-safe materials, testing different designs, and learning what actually kept parrots engaged while standing up to enthusiastic beaks.

Before long, every bird at our rescue had handmade toys.

Friends and fellow bird owners began noticing them. They wanted toys for their own parrots, so we started making extras. What began as helping a few friends slowly grew into something much bigger.

That's how PDS Parrot Shop was born.

Today, every toy is still designed with the same philosophy that started it all: create enrichment that is safe, engaging, and made with the bird's well-being first.

Unlike many pet products designed around appearance or profit, our toys are inspired by real parrots with real personalities. The birds at our rescue test ideas, teach us what works, and continually remind us that enrichment should encourage natural behaviors like chewing, shredding, climbing, exploring, and foraging.

Our experience caring for rescue parrots also shaped everything else we offer. From nutrition resources and educational guides to feeding workbooks and enrichment advice, everything is built from years of hands-on experience—not simply repeating information found online.

Every Purchase Makes a Difference

PDS Parrot Shop exists for one simple reason: to help parrots.

The proceeds from every purchase help support Prego Dalliance Sanctuary, our nonprofit rescue dedicated to giving parrots a second chance. Your support helps provide veterinary care, nutritious food, enrichment, rehabilitation, and daily care for birds that have nowhere else to go.

When you purchase from PDS Parrot Shop, you're doing more than buying a toy.

You're helping a rescue bird receive medical treatment.

You're helping provide fresh food and enrichment.

You're giving another parrot the opportunity to heal, recover, and find a better future.

From one handmade toy created to save money on vet bills... to helping parrots across the country live happier, healthier lives...
