I understand that a home visit is required for all adoptions.

Birds are, in our opinion, the greatest companions there are. But they are not for everyone. Too many times we watch videos, see movies and hear great stories about these guys, then decide we want one. What they don't tell you is, they ALL scream, bite, toss their food, chew on furniture, are expensive to feed and vet bills are about double of a cat or dog.

Birds are not good with children, they move too fast. You can work with your child to be calm around the bird but you cant train your bird to have patience with your child. There are those few exceptions that are awesome with anyone, we never get that type of bird into our rescue.

Their housing is very important and can be very costly too. You cannot make a bird cage out of chicken wire or chain link. It must be avian quality wire. Toys are costly and a must. It's so fun to watch the $50.00 toy get destroyed in under 30 minutes.

No candles, no aerosols, no Teflon cookware, no...no...no... Their lungs are very sensitive and these things can kill them. There are a ton more but we can talk about that.

Diet....Walmart parrot food is a big NO! We use a seed/ pellet mix and supplement with fruits and veggies and whole nuts. It's not optional..... They must have fresh fruits and veggies Even when they aren't in season.

Absolutely NO BREEDING or RESALE OF OUR BIRDS IS PERMITTED

When we we place our birds, you will never be on your own, call, text, Facebook we will help you work on behavioral issues, family/ bird issues, diet, whatever you need that we can help you with. Our goal is to keep the bird in her home. It's so damaging to a bird to bounce from home to home. They need stability with their humans.

We would love to chat with you. All of our guys deserve a great forever home. They have been through enough stress and trauma. We want you to be that home. They are our forever 2 years olds and will love you as much as you love them.
