Fostering is a ton of work!!! We need EXPERIENCED owners that can handle birds that potentially have behavioral problems. We do not need foster homes for the sweet adoptable birds that everyone wants. We can find homes for them! We need fosters for the more aggressive, fearful, and shy birds that need to be worked with in a home environment to help with their socializing. If you feel you are experienced enough to rehabilitate, contact me.
Please visit our "Bird Experience" page to see what birds you are qualified to foster.
What is my job as a foster?
The word "foster" means to help someone (or something) grow and develop. It also means to take care of someone's (or something's) needs. Foster parents provide a safe place for birds to be cared for. They take birds from the rescue into their home to be safe and work on training and adjusting to a home/family environment.
While fosters can always make suggestions for homes for the birds, it is not their responsibility to find their foster birds homes. It is ultimately our decision where a bird is permanently placed.
