Before you apply: what a rescued bird needs from a home.
Time, every day
Parrots are flock animals. They want company, time out of the cage and a person who talks to them, every single day. A bird left alone from morning to night is a bird that plucks, screams or withdraws, and none of that is the bird’s fault.
Years, not months
Small birds live ten to twenty years; the large parrots can outlive their first owners. Adopting one is a commitment for the rest of their life, and a plan for who takes them if something happens to you.
Room and the right food
A cage sized to the bird with space to stretch both wings, perches of different widths, toys to chew, and a diet built on pellets with fresh vegetables and fruit, not seed alone.
An avian vet and patience
Birds hide illness, so a vet who treats birds matters, and it is worth finding one before the bird comes home rather than the night you need one. Rescued birds also need time: some settle in days, some in months. We tell you honestly what each one has been through, and what helped them here.
Every bird here has already lost one home. We match for life, so it helps to know what life with a parrot or an exotic bird really asks of a family before the application, not after. None of this is meant to put you off: the families who read it and still apply are exactly the ones the birds need, and Amanda will talk every point through with you. If you are not sure a bird fits your home yet, the newsletter is a good way to keep meeting them until one does.
