What Are Companion Bird Sanctuaries Like?
The population in a sanctuary setting is diverse. It may consist of retired breeders, birds with special medical or environmental needs, those with severe behavior problems, those who prefer other birds to people, or loving companions who have outlived or been displaced by the complex and changing lives of their humans. A sanctuary provides a unique place where these birds can live life on their own terms. If you no longer feel you can properly care for your bird and are considering giving him/her up to Parrots First for placement, please contact us first to discuss possible solutions and review your options. If you decide to surrender your bird for placement in a new situation, please fill out an Acquisition Form in its entirety if at all possible. The information you provide will help us to determine the needs of the bird and the most suitable environment for its future. You will be required to sign a legal copy of this form at the time of surrender. To get an Acquisition Form please
