Founded in 1995, The Gabriel Foundation is a 501(c)(3) avicultural and veterinary affiliated parrot welfare organization licensed by the State of Colorado and USDA, whose mission and purpose is to provide safe sanctuary and care for parrots in need, to match extraordinary birds with caring adopters, and to inspire and encourage all to responsibly improve the lives of companion parrots.

Our Aviary & Adoption Center is a 40,000 square foot facility on nearly 36 acres in western Elbert County, just outside of Elizabeth, CO. It was designed with the total welfare of our feathered friends in mind. 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 safely in the great outdoors. Felled trees, branches, rocks and boulders, rope swings and toys of all kinds encourage chewing, foraging, and play in our diverse aviaries and flights.
