To Place A Bird With Us

**We are not currently taking in birds unless they are an emergency basis such as moving, losing your home, or severe behavioral problems as we are full**

 If you need to surrender a bird, you will need to fill out an Intake Form and email it or bring it with you when you surrender.

Surrender Form

You must answer the following questions in order to place your bird into

our rescue. This way we can better asses each bird.

 

We will NOT accept birds larger than Cockatiels without a cage. Our cages are for emergencies and we currently do not have empty extra large cages available.

 

1) Our policy has changed we no longer allow people to come to our house to surrender due to the amount of birds being dropped off at our door step. (During freezing temperatures)

If we must, we will travel up to 50 miles to pick up a bird, but we will have to charge a fee to cover our gas. We will charge a standard fee of $25.00 if we must travel over 10 miles.

 **We are located at our home in:  Akron, Ohio 44312

2) What are you currently feeding your bird.

3) What is the name of the bird you want to place with us?

4) What is the bird's temperament (is it a screamer, biter, shy, wild, friendly)

5) What is the bird's approximate age?

Lastly and Most Important

6) Are you willing to provide a cage. We get too many birds and not enough cages.

Due to the cost of medical care, caging, toys, foods, and other supplies needed to providing for our birds, we need your financial support . We ask that you consider a making a donation to offset the care of your bird. Many of the parrots that come here are from true rescue situations and have not been as fortunate as your bird. Your financial contribution enables us to offset some of the costs incurred with rescue so we can continue with those efforts. You are not required to make a donation upon surrender, however, if you surrender a bird with out a cage, or other supplies a donation is required.

If you need to place a bird with us please call:

_____________________________________________________

We are not here to criticize or judge you. We are here to help! We just want to help the birds, what ever your situation may be. We understand that things happen. We also get a lot of birds who have severe behavioral problems because the owner let it get that way.

For Example: If your bird screams, DO NOT PUT HIM IN ANOTHER ROOM BY HIMSELF. For the most part they scream for attention They are flock animals, so when they scream they expect you to answer them back, they are just trying to keep in contact. When putting them someplace, where they are getting no interaction they may do things like pull out their feathers, self mutilate, and also become aggressive. These are ways that birds deal with stress and depression. Please do not let this happen to your bird!
