How do I find a local rescue to get involved in?

I canā€™t seem to find any that are near me. I am in New York, 40 minute north of midtown Manhattan. They seem to all be on Long Island?

Are there any closer?
Sorry, Iā€™m in Texas so I canā€™t really be helpful but maybe someone else who loves in NY can help.

The Long Island Parrot society may be able to help. They have rehoming program, but its not a 'sanctuary' in that parrots are temporarily housed n members homes until adopted. Connecticut has one too but in similar circumstances. The large amount of real estate needed to make a real, safe and suitable sanctuary makes having one in the NYC area, one of most expensive real estate markets in the country, unrealized. I wish I had 3 acres to donate to establishing one. But, but sorry, I am a lowly peon with a bare 1/4 acre.

Nearest one I can find is in the Berkshires. All the others are for native birds or handle sick or injured one.

I canā€™t really say what rescues here are good as all of them are pretty far from where I live.
I know of one called ā€œWings of Love Bird Havenā€ but have never been there.
