I think it's wonderful what you're contemplating. You should get ahold of a reputable bird rescue, like the one mentioned and sit down with them and a lawyer to determine the best course for your donations, have it spelled out as to what you want done with it. Keep in mind though, that a lot of times what 'doesn't go to the parrots', really does go towards their upkeep. In example; electricity, water, sustenance, vets.. even a certain amount of advertising and educational materials are all necessary.

If you want to help an endangered bird, move past the pet trade birds - even Hyacinths are solidly in many breeding programs. Someone mentioned the Spix and Glaucous - look them up, research them; we're losing these birds and without a strong amount of donated money, we'll end up losing them.

But, before you do anything concrete ...talk to an attorney about this. Keep yourself and whomever you donate to protected.
