Expanding our space from 8,500 sq. ft. to 40,000 sq. ft., the new
Aviary and Adoption Center is designed with the total welfare of our
feathered friends in mind. The initial plans featured three
different buildings to house our resident birds in bright, spacious
species-specific rooms with radiant heat and Venta Airwashers to
ensure a warm, high humidity climate. As construction progressed, we
quickly realized the need for a fourth building dedicated
specifically to our Rescue program. Current plans now include
Building D to serve primarily as The Gabriel Foundation's Rescue
Ranch, for birds in dire need of rescue and rehabilitation.
Throughout the complex, each species room has its own attached
outdoor flight that provides year-round access to spacious,
predator-proof flights where our birds can cavort with members of
their own species in the great outdoors. Felled trees, branches,
rocks and boulders, rope swings and toys of all kinds encourage
chewing, foraging, and play.
The facilities and services include an onsite veterinary clinic, two
isolated quarantine rooms, an adoption room and visitor reception
area, a training center and "flight" school play area, five
stand-alone flights for expanded flight space, large kitchen and
food preparation areas, boarding and day care, and living quarters
that guarantee permanent, 24-hour onsite care of the TGF flock.
The additional space means TGF will provide quality care for 350
birds each day and will always have room to take 150 birds in urgent
need into our Rescue program. The Aviary and Adoption Center will
serve as a permanent home for homeless parrots in need of Sanctuary
as well as a gateway to a new life for birds in our Adoption
program.
YOUR MONEY AT WORK
For the birds living at The Gabriel Foundation, the Aviary and Adoption Center provides endless opportunities for enrichment and socialization. The most noticeable feature of the new facility is the expansive outdoor flights that provide daily access to the great outdoors.
