WELCOME          

Thank you so much for considering adopting an older parrot.  Please read over this website to learn about A-Parrot Rescue 's adoption process.  We would like to get to know our potential Adopter's a little first .  An email Interview starts our adoption process.  You must be open to answering some questions we have of you also.  

Please go to our page  "ADOPT BIRD"     for more info.                               

PARROT/BIRD SPECIES WE CAN WILL REHOME:               

LARGE PARROTS.  (Space here is limited for holding LARGE cockatoos or LARGE macaws.)  We can take in the smaller of these species, though.  

ALL MEDIUM SIZE PARROTS and  ALL SMALL PARROTS

                                                                                    ***

FLAMINGOS?   We will gladly accept  "unwanted"  pink plastic garden flamingos -- to add to the flock "decor" in our yard.                                     

WE DO NOT TAKE IN:                   

No wild or outside birds, baby birds fallen out of nests, farm birds, game birds, swans, peacocks, toucans, mynahs, lories, doves, or pigeons.  But we may be able to assist you with a referral.   

BIRD / PARROT  ADOPTION BASICS             

Tentative Adopters will be "applying to adopt a bird".  Pls. read over this website.  We are looking for experienced parrot owners to adopt PARROTS to. 

A-Parrot Rescue does not ship birds, nor do we meet you part way for drop-off.   We do not adopt out parrots as "gifts" for adults or children.  We need to meet the actual adopter before adoptions are finalized also.

WHO WE ARE                    

 A-Parrot Rescue takes the place of the Bird Placement Program.  BPP closed several years ago.  Our same rescue team has been (and is continuing to find) new homes for unwanted birds up to this time.

 Our adoptable birds, pictures and bird personalities, are advertised on this site.  More current birds and pictures are listed on our Petfinder.com page.

 ABOUT OUR ADOPTION PROCESS:                                          

(1)   A-Parrot Rescue functions as a parrot placement and parrot re-homing agency.  If you are unable to keep your small bird, or parrot, we can help.   Your bird must be signed over to A-Parrot Rescue before the rehoming process can start.  

 (2)  A-Parrot Rescue does detailed screening of qualified Adopters to be sure birds left in our care end up in the best of homes.  

 (3  A-Parrot Rescue is a home-based rescue.  We are not set up like a pet shop.   We are not open for public "bird tours".  

(4)  Visiting appointments can be made AFTER an Application has been approved by our Board of Directors, usually a fast process. 

 (5)  Brecksville is the drop off and pick up location.

 (6) A-Parrot to A-Flamingo will accept most older, some handicapped birds, loudness sometimes comes with the species.   All we ask is that the bird is healthy, in perfect feather condition, is able to perch and feed itself.  

 (7) We are looking for experienced parrot owners to adopt our parrots to, someone who has lived with a similar species of parrot as an adult and who honestly understands parrot "issues or quirks".  

(8) Everyone interested in adopting a bird must participate in our email interview/chat. This "chat" is not our actual Application.  We explain our adoption policies further in these emails too.   Applications can be emailed out to potential adopters after we "meet you" via email first.  

(9) Potential Adopters must contact us via email.   We do not interview by text, in person, or by phone.    A-Parrot Rescue needs to get to know our potential Adopters a little first before an Application is emailed to you.   We reserve the right to approve or disallow an Application.  Our aim is to find the best home, in our opinion, for any bird turned over to us.

OUR MISSION                    

 A-Parrot to A-Flamingo Rescue, as a non-profit organization, is dedicated to alleviating parrot neglect and suffering, offering advice to bird owners to assist them in creating a good environment for their pet bird.   A-Parrot Rescue 's goal is to promote safe and humane care of companion parrots and smaller pet birds and to rehome unwanted older healthy parrots that would possibly be euthanized because of their age.   

DO YOU WANT TO ADOPT A PARROT????              

Since this is the Internet and we do not know who is applying to adopt a parrot, we may request a proof receipt of your past or current parrot ownership.  It is wonderful if you are a multi pet owner.  However, bird care is a lot different than owning a cat or a dog.   Owning any pet will require a commitment on your part.

Several types of proof receipts apply.   See tab:  ADOPT A BIRD

All birds are subject to prior adoption at any time.  The available bird list is revised as fast as we can.  

SOME OF OUR ADOPTION CONTRACT CONDITIONS…..             

You must be 21 years of age or older.  We do not allow breeding of any rescue bird one obtains from our agency.  We do adopt out to multi-pet, multi-parrot homes.  Our rescue birds are not available to people planning on flipping them.  Our plan is to interview the actual new owner of each bird.

 Our rescue agency has the right to retrieve any bird if our adoption contract conditions are breached.  

We are searching for people who plan on keeping their parrot or small bird adopted to them thru the end of the bird's natural life.  Later, by chance if one is not able to keep the parrot  for any reason, the bird has to be returned to us.  No fees can be refunded.  Birds adopted out thru A-Parrot Rescue are NEVER to end up on Craigslist or any other Internet selling site!   

LEG BANDS                        

 Leg bands are NOT to be removed from any bird's leg that is adopted from A-Parrot Rescue.  That is your proof of ownership in case the bird ever gets loose for you.   A-Parrot keeps a record of the band number also.

 FREE PARROTS, CHEAP BIRDS   ?                

No.  A-Parrot to A-Flamingo Rescue is not a give-away site.  Any organization dealing with live animals will have daily expenses, primarily being able to feed the animals in their care.  We understand that money is tight for all of us right now  .... and this is especially true for anyone who runs an animal rescue organization.

All pet owners must be able to afford the animals in their care.  Also, a rescue organization MUST be able to afford the cost of caring for animals left in their care.  Purchasing food and possible vet care is a continual expense for all of us.

Funds coming in to us cover our buying more seed, food , pellets, office expenses, and necessary vet care for the bird you drop off, along with the care for any future birds coming in.  Adoption fees are per individual bird, not per species.

REFERRALS AND OUR CLIENTS                   

A-Parrot Rescue is privileged to receive lots of referrals from previous clients, avian vets, other bird owners who can attest to our sincerity in finding just the right home for any bird released to our care.   Our clients have chosen and trusted A-Parrot Rescue to rehome their birds responsibly for many years now.

A-PARROT TO A-FLAMINGO'S  FUNDING -- NONE             

A-Parrot to A-Flamingo Rescue is not a 501C3 organization.   To explain further, A-Parrot Rescue is on a "subfixed income", meaning we get NO subsidies or grants to run our agency.  Fees we receive covers our seed, pellets, treat expenses for parrots left in our care, and necessary vet care.   We have volunteer help only, and no one receives a salary for volunteering for A-Parrot Rescue.  



WE ALSO NEED...

Seed and pellet donations, any brands, sealed bags or newly opened are fine.   We are always looking for plain newspaper (no ads) also!   

  Thank you in advance!  End of commercial......  

OUR CLIENT'S PRIVACY                        

Your privacy is important to us.  All info that we request of you stays in A-Parrot Rescue's files and is only used for placing birds in our care.  A-Parrot Rescue does not give out our bird friends' info. to any marketer, website, advertiser, company, Adopter, previous bird owner, etc.  

Thank you for reading over our info.  Pls. email us at any time.
