We are a 501(c)(3) Nonprofit Organization who provides suitable homes for as many of the unwanted/homeless parrot population as possible, while providing the humans responsible for them the knowledge, training and advice to properly care for them so that birds can live a comfortable, happy life without abuse or neglect.
1.) Submit an application online (Which is on this page, scroll all the way to the bottom). We will review it and email you back. As a heads up, we do not use Foster Families for birds. We only take in what we can comfortably pay for, care for and house out of our Founder’s personal budget. 2.) Come Like our Facebook Page. It’s a great place to get all the up to date information about what’s going on with the rescue. 3.) Send us a message on Facebook. Make sure your profile on Facebook is public (if you need privacy for any reason and cannot make your FB public, we’ll ask you to friend request us so we can all look at your profile.). We’re going to check you out. Thoroughly. What we’re looking for (and we’re pretty up front about it, we think) is your history of owning animals, rehoming animals, and responsibility as a whole with animals. We want to get to know you as a human being. The board, made up of three members, Heidi, Katie, Rachel, Lyle and our Founder, Shannon will be asking you questions. They will sometimes be blunt. They will ask questions about you, your home, your knowledge for the species you’re inquiring about, and about your history. In order to move to the next step, 2 out of 3 have to agree you would be a good fit. 4.) If everything checks out, we will ask for a video tour of your home or for a home visit. After you send that, just two steps to go. 5.) You’ll be invited to the rescue. For your invitation, we will ask for picture ID – this is for the safety of the rescue, our founder and her family. You will have an opportunity to meet and interact with all the birds. The adoptable bird you mesh with will be the bird you are approved for. 6.) You will sign your adoption contract the day that you visit. The contract includes a 60 day mandatory acclimation period. Your adoption fee is due that day, but if for any reason (that’s reasonable – things other than “The bird bites. The bird is loud. The bird destroys stuff. The bird is just too messy.”), if the bird doesn’t acclimate well, you can transfer your adoption fee to a different bird one time within that 60 day period with the return of the bird in your care.
