Скачать или смотреть Feathers and Fortitude: One Man’s Lifelong Rescue Mission: Chris Driggins of Parrots for Patriots

In this heartfelt episode of Tails of Resilience, we sit down with Chris Driggins, founder of Parrots for Patriots, a nonprofit connecting orphaned parrots with veterans seeking healing and companionship.

With decades of experience in bird rescue, Chris is a wealth of knowledge about parrots and exotic birds. He takes great care in placing each parrot, emphasizing how important education is before stepping into the world of parrot ownership. These birds are deeply intelligent, delicate, and emotionally complex—and Chris believes that understanding their needs is key to building a lasting bond.

He walks us through his mindful daily routines, shares touching stories of how parrots and veterans help each other heal, and reflects on how his own resilience stems from a meaningful commitment to the mission. Chris also opens up about the challenge of self-care and the value of having a supportive team that allows him moments of rest—often in the hot tub with good music in the background.

This episode explores what it means to show up fully for another life—whether feathered or human—and how commitment can become a source of healing and strength.
