Founder and Executive Director of Pittsburgh Parrot Rescue (PPR), Roberta Weisensee, spent 7 years as a volunteer at the National Aviary in Pittsburgh. Those 7 years were spent working in the education department studying and working with many different birds but her passion was for the parrots.

She saw a need for a safe haven for parrots that could no longer be kept by their owners. Additionally there was a great need for education on caring for pet birds in the Pittsburgh area. In 1998 she formed the Pittsburgh Chapter of Parrot Education & Adoption Center and was the Managing Director/President until June 2001 when she went on to form the Pittsburgh Parrot Rescue.

Pittsburgh Parrot Rescue's dream is to have an education center open to the public on a daily basis where people can come in at their convenience and learn about parrots and also meet the many birds that are looking for new homes.
