We have been really busy here with new birds coming in and one's finally ready to go being adopted out. I am going to start posting pics of birds as they come in along with their stories. In these posts it will tell you if the Bird is in the sanctuary program, meaning it will not be adopted out, or if it is in training/taming program to be adopted out in near future. Once in a great while we will get in a Bird that is in a great position to go straight to a forever home because they have been socialized correctly and are tame without behavior issues. These usually come to us from those that have to move from a home to apartment, can no longer care for a Bird due to own health issues, have inherited a Bird but do not want and so forth.
Not all our rescues are from bad places or have behavior issues, however you are adopting from a rescue where most have come to us because they bite, SCREAM, pluck, or have learned foul language. We work very hard to gain trust to turn these behaviors around. A lot of these behaviors are what cause our feathered family to be locked in a cage all day, covered in darkness, yelled at, squirted with water bottles and tossed from home to home. The stress this causes can take it's toll on a Bird and cause new or worsening behaviors that can be detrimental to them.
We are here to turn this around and regain that lost trust or build a first trust, between the Bird and human caretaker. We are here for you well after you adopt a Bird from us to insure a smooth transition and to answer any questions and concerns you have. We will be by to check in on how your bonding process is going as well as the care and safety of the Bird. They, most, have long lifespans and need to be apart of all future plans you make. Having them in your will is a very smart idea, as we all live for today as tomorrow is never guaranteed. We have some of our adaptors who have their birds coming back to us should anything happen, and we have a few who have birds that have arrangements made for their feathered family to be placed with us in future events. Just keep in mind, your Bird has a lifespan the same as you and is dependant on others just as we are on each other.
I will start posting pics and stories today sometime. Please, if their description says sanctuary Bird, do not ask to adopt them as they are NOT adoptable. I will also put an ESTIMATED time in which new birds will possibly be ready for a forever home.
