began in
1996 with the rescue of an injured dove by the side of the road.
Other birds that needed help followed. Becoming a bird sanctuary
was not planned. It just seemed like the right thing to do.
In
2005, we transitioned from focusing on individual birds to species
survival. The catalyst was the death of a Green-Naped pheasant
pigeon. She died suddenly and her grieving mate was inconsolable.
We tried to find a replacement, but the species had become so
rare there were only 32 listed in the world wide zoo data base.
Our search was ultimately successful and we emerged with a changed
perspective about the importance of breeding rare birds. Although
we were already one of the largest non-companion sanctuaries
in the US, we realized that saving individual birds was not
enough. We needed a more global view so that we could help birds
in a more comprehensive, significant and far reaching manner.
In 2009, we became a 501(c)3 non-profit. We expanded our programs,
invited help from like minded people and put in place an internal
structure to support ambitious goals. We analyzed the challenges
facing birds, identified our core strengths, sought out advice
from a multidisciplinary team of experts. One of the outcomes
was ARC (Avian Recovery for Conservation), which is an innovative
conservation strategy.
In addition to our expanded role in conservation, we remain
committed to providing life long care for the hundreds of birds
already at Pandemonium.
Pandemonium Aviaries is an all-volunteer organization. We are
a group of people who believe that all things are possible if
you start with pure motives, navigate with an ethical internal
compass and set course for a destination that benefits others.
