TOUR THE GABRIEL FOUNDATION

 

Expanding our space from 8,500 sq. ft. to 40,000 sq. ft., the new Aviary and Adoption Center in Elizabeth, CO 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.
