Arcadia Bird Sanctuary & Educational Center is a New Jersey-based nonprofit that rescues birds that have been abused, abandoned, or have special needs.
The organization formed in 2001, when the city animal rescue shelter could not care for the influx of newly homeless birds that came in shortly after the 9/11 tragedy.
The sanctuary’s main goal is to provide or find a permanent home for the birds.
