You can read about our placement process here. Adoption We normally don't turn birds away, unless they are infected with contagious diseases. But we do need time to arrange in advance for them...we have to make sure we have space, etc. We may also need to prepare our quarantine space. So, please plan a few days lead time on any surrenders. When you bring your bird, please fill out THIS FORM Because of health issues, we can't take in cockatoos, cockatiels, or African Greys. However, we do accept application for adoption of these birds. So, if you need a new home for one of these, we may be able to help. These CONTRACTS spell out the conditions under which we take in and place birds. WE DON'T PAY FOR BIRDS, AND WE DON'T HELP PEOPLE SELL BIRDS OR CAGES. IF WE'RE INVOLVED, NO MONEY IS |
