THIS IS OUR PINNED ADOPTION POST ANY NEW PEOPLE PLEASE READ.
ADOPTION PROCESS & THINGS TO CONSIDER: Please read this before asking to be considered for one of our birds.
~ We do not have 'free' birds... there is an adoption fee that applies to any bird adopted from here. This is done by 'donation' - which you offer. This fee helps to pay for food & requirements of all our birds waiting for homes, or garden 'rescues' until release. Without this donation we would not be able to continue this service, or offer a safe haven for birds.
~ Read the requirements of the bird you wish to adopt & be aware of any issues the bird might have arrived here with.
~ Consider the long term commitment & cost of having a bird.
~ Have you checked out what the bird eats & what it needs to live a long, happy, healthy life?
~ Birds do not belong in small cages. What will you offer the bird?
~ We have excellent cages for sale but of course you will absolutely need to provide out-of-cage time.
~ If you are renting a property will you be able to take the bird & large cage or aviary with you should you have to move?
~ What companionship will you provide the bird through the day, on the weekends & over the holidays? Who will look after the bird if you go away?
~ Our birds are not suitable for young children, noisy/chaotic households, cats or energetic dogs.
~ Some of our birds have had a hard life & will only be suitable for a large aviary. Please understand that they want a peaceful life with love, good food, lots of fresh water, stimulation, company of other birds, & gentle, passive interraction with humans.
~ You will be asked a series of questions should you wish to adopt one of these birds. Please do not be offended or take it personally. We are doing our very best to match the right home to the bird.
Our priority is the bird... what is best for the bird, the best fit for bird & human, & an assurance to those people who have surrendered a pet bird that their feathered friend will only be adopted out to the very best home that meets that bird's needs & requirements. We appreciate your support & understanding.
