Under My Wing Avian Refuge

Under My Wing Avian Refuge is a 501 C3 nonprofit organization. It was founded by Paula N Ashfield in 2007 and is the first exotic birds sanctuary in northern New Jersey.

Paula as well as all members of this organization is dedicated to the morally and ethically responsible treatment of animals in our local community, state, and nation, and in the international community.

Our primary purpose is to provide the birds under our care with proper housing, appropriate care, and the companionship of people and other birds.

We serve and fulfill the needs of behaviorally and physically challenged birds, the sick and elderly, and birds that have been abused, neglected, abandoned, high risk non-adoptable birds the emotionally scarred for life.

We do not foster. Rather, we have them live on our premises where we assume the responsibility for their lives and well-being either for the remainder of their natural lives, or in the case of adoptable birds, until an appropriate home is secured for them.
