About Adoption

Please watch this video before considering adoption

If you are interested in adopting a bird from Second Chance Bird Rescue, please read the information below. If you are still interested, find a bird you'd like to adopt, and please complete the adoption application and return it to us via email.

Policies

Adoption fees and donations are NONREFUNDABLE.
If you adopt a bird and find you can no longer keep it, it MUST be returned to the rescue!

If you can't commit to an adoption, consider supporting one of the many parrots at Second Chance Bird Rescue who may never be permanently re-homed due to medical or behavioral issues. By sponsoring one of these parrots you are single-handedly providing support for his or her independent care. View this document for the details of sponsoring a bird of Second Chance Bird Rescue, Inc.

Why Adopt?

There are many sweet and talented birds who need a loving home - previous owners didn't recognize what they had. Provide a loving bird a second chance
Every year thousands of birds are being surrendered, yet more birds are being born in breeding programs

Who Can Adopt?

We prefer to adopt birds to families in the local area. However, we do make exceptions on out of state adoptions, but we do not ship the birds. You must be able to visit the bird you are interested in adopting to ensure the bird is a good fit before we will complete the adoption.

Things to consider before adoption:

Adoption provides a bird a second chance
Birds require regular avian veterinary care
Birds thrive on attention, and will do anything to get yours
Not all parrots talk! While many may eventually learn to mimic or talk, it is not certain yours will
A parrot can live for 50 years and beyond; a pet that will require care for many years to come
Birds are messy and can be very noisy
