If you're interested in adopting, you should start by filling out an application. You can print this and mail it by USPS, or paste it into a word processor and email it. Here's the form: application . Send your application to: Iowa Parrot Rescue 2479 Golden Ave, Letts, IA 52754 or email it to: IA parrotrescue@aol.com or fax it to: 319-726-3707 You'll also need to schedule a visit to us. We're located near Muscatine IA. We usually schedule visits on Saturdays, but can make other arrangements if your schedule needs a weekday. We'll be happy to send directions. Don't use Mapquest to get here; it has an error in our location. Please note: you must make a visit here before we will consider placing a bird with you. Also, we cannot promise that there'll be a bird for you during your visit. The purpose of the interviews is to see if you're right for a bird. When you make an appointment, please try to be on time. I plan my schedule around visits. Our insurance company now requires that visitors sign a form releasing us from liability for injuries or damage. We'll try to let you know if a bird that fits your situation comes in, but you'll want to occasionally check to see what new birds have arrived . The ones that are available for adoption will be listed on this page: Available. We usually don't charge any adoption fee, unless a bird has required expensive medical treatment. If there is any fee, it'll be noted in the listing on the Available page. We gladly accept donations. Ways to donate are discussed on the Support page. A few things to be aware of: 1. We never place birds with smokers. This includes people who smoke only outside, at work, in the car, or anywhere. 2. We never ship birds anywhere. 3. We never place a bird with someone we haven't met, interviewed, and visited with, either here, in their home, or both. 4. We never place birds in breeding or resale situations. We don't hate breeders or retailers...we just can't give them birds. 5. If you adopt from us, you will sign a legally enforceable contract; you can read it here: Contracts |

HOME |
We've come to feel that birds don't do as well when they are isolated. In future, we'll place birds as pairs or flocks. We will try to encourage birds who come here alone to find friends that they can be placed with. Single birds will be placed only where there is an existing bird or flock that is compatible with their presence. This doesn't mean all birds must have cage-mates...just that there must be birds who can be seen and heard. |
