I cannot highlight this enough!!!! It breaks my heart when human-bonded birds are surrendered to sanctuaries "to be with other birds"; to "live more naturally". What a lie you tell yourself to ease your conscience. You cannot just "feel" that it would be better for your bird (that grew up in a house with people) to suddenly live outside, in noise and chaos, with animals they do not know, understand or recognize. Where they suddenly have to compete for food and perches; where they have to find and fight for a space that only belongs to them; where they have to learn an entire new language to communicate - just to survive, not even talking about thriving.
Please. Talk to sanctuary owners, avian vets or avian professionals BEFORE surrendering your bird. There are options that may suit your bird better than sanctuary life 🙏
Parrots are complex, emotional creatures. You have to make informed, researched decisions for their well-being, not just emotional ones.
