Greater Chicago Cage Bird Society

Our Mission Greater Chicago Caged Bird Society - Rescue, Educate, Share Experiences The mission of the Greater Chicago Cage Bird Society is to care for homeless exotic cage birds through the GCCBS Rescue and Adoption Center and to share knowledge of exotic cage birds through open meetings and other educational events.

The GCCBS takes in unwanted birds from several different sources and provides for their care at our rescue center in Villa Park, Illinois. All positions held within the society and rescue operation are on a volunteer basis. We can house as many as 120 pet birds of all types and sizes, who have been surrendered to our care, at any given time. Most of them are parrots, though we do accept some other types of pet birds. Our goal is to find loving, forever homes by screening prospective adopters carefully and educating them about the needs of exotic birds.
