Foster Parrots, Ltd. is a non-profit organization dedicated to the rescue and protection of unwanted and abused companion parrots and other displaced captive exotic animals. Working on many levels to bring critical services to birds and animals in transition, we offer life-long sanctuary care for unadoptable parrots and other exotics at our permanent care sanctuary facility, The New England Exotic Wildlife Sanctuary, and provide adoption services for well-socialized parrots who desire human companionship.Our Humane Education programs seek to connect children and adults alike to animal and environmental issues, to nurture empathy, and to inspire a sense of personal responsibility and accountability toward the care of our earth and our animals. A staunch advocate for parrots as wild animals, Foster Parrots’ conservation work in Central and South America helps keep parrots and other animals safe in their natural habitat, and also embodies our ultimate message: Parrots are worth more in the trees than in cages; parrots and all wild animals should be free.
Requirements for adoption: You must live in the New England area. You must be over the age of 18 and have a stable home situation that can accommodate a parrot. There must be no other potentially dangerous or predatory animals in the home. There must be no non-stick cookware in the home. We will not adopt parrots to breeders or to people who will allow breeding. Adoptive homes must be able to offer a high level of social support in the form of human and/or avian companionship. Adoptive homes must have the ability to provide freedom/out-of-cage time. Homes capable of providing “environments” rather than cages and those accommodating flight will be prioritized. Adoptive homes must be financially stable and have the ability to provide veterinary care, an appropriate and nutritious diet, housing, toys and enrichments. Adoption applicants do not have to be “experts” or even have prior parrot experience, but they do have to be empathetic, compassionate and willing to learn.
