• Quality of Life through Education,
• Rescue, Rehabilitation and Adoption
• Our objective in starting N-COAR is to improve
  the quality of life that the companion bird will
  have. We hope to achieve this thru
• Education, Rescue, Rehabilitation, and Adoption.
• Education We hope to teach individuals to
  understand their birds, to make informed
  decisions on the purchase of a companion bird,
  and to learn as much as they can about their
  birds (diet, habitat in the wild, how to train,
  and grooming).
• Rescue We will provide a safe home for any bird
  that has to be given up by it's owner. We are
  also keeping a close watch on our local pet
  stores and offering advice on care of their birds
  if needed.
• Rehabilitation We will work with any
  companion bird and owner to retrain and to
  eliminate any bad habits that the bird has. If we
  can not help the bird and owner we will direct
  the owner to someone who can.
• Adoption We will find new and permanent homes
  for birds given up by their owners.
