Parrot People, Island ʻOhana Education · Rescue · Community · Aloha
Hawaiʻi’s premier community for parrot, cockatoo and pet bird owners — and a proud 501(c)(3) nonprofit. Whether you have kept birds for thirty years or just brought home your first budgie, you are in the right place.
Parrot People — Heart and Soul
The Hawaiian Feathered Friends Network is Hawaiʻi’s premier community for parrot and psittacine bird owners across the islands. We are parrot people. We keep them, rescue them, learn from them, worry about them, and love them the way only parrot people can.
Whether you are a lifelong aviculturist with a flock of macaws, a first-time owner trying to figure out what to feed your new conure, or someone who just found a lost parrot in the neighborhood and does not know who to call — HFFN is here for you. Our community spans Oʻahu and the neighbor islands, and our ʻohana is always growing.
Four Pillars of Our Mission
Education
At every monthly meeting you will find experienced keepers, guest speakers, hands-on learning, and practical knowledge that only comes from people who have lived it. Our care guides cover species, diet, health, grooming, and harness training — all with Hawaiʻi’s unique environment in mind.
Rescue & Rehoming
Parrots end up in crisis for all kinds of reasons — illness, divorce, financial hardship, a landlord who says no. HFFN ensures that no parrot in Hawaiʻi is left without options. We take in surrendered birds, place them in foster homes, and find them permanent families through our careful, relationship-based adoption process.
Community
We are more than a club. We are a network of people across the Hawaiian Islands who show up for each other — sharing knowledge, lending a hand, and building something that has lasted over a decade. Our monthly meetings are the heart of that ʻohana.
Advocacy
Parrot owners in Hawaiʻi face real challenges — import restrictions, housing laws, and a constantly shifting regulatory environment. HFFN advocates for our members’ rights to own, keep, and breed birds in the islands, and we keep our community informed when things change.
