Step 1 — Quarantine & Vet Check

Your bird starts in our quarantine area to decompress, get monitored for health concerns, and receive treatment if needed — in quiet, low-stress care. This phase can last 2–30 days or longer if medically required.

Step 2 — Species-Appropriate Housing

Once medically cleared, your bird moves into an enclosure suited to its species. Birds don’t share cages but can see and vocalize with others nearby for social stimulation. Structured out-of-cage time is provided several times a week.

Step 3 — Nutrition & Enrichment

Birds receive a science-based diet (pellets, fresh foods, enrichment regimens) and rotating toys to promote behavioral engagement and health. Most arrive malnourished or overweight, and within weeks show marked improvement.

Step 4 — Screened Adoption Matching

We screen all adopters thoroughly: interviews, home review, matching bird personality to owner lifestyle. We create a profile using the details you share to ensure a good placement fit, not just the first available home.

Step 5 — Lifetime Return Guarantee

If placement doesn’t work out down the road, birds surrendered or adopted through us always have a safe place to return — no exceptions.

Before You Begin the Surrender Form

Please share as much detail as possible about your bird(s). If surrendering multiple birds, complete one application and list information for each.

Your honesty helps us assess needs and build comprehensive profiles for adoption.

What's this bird's history?

What is his known history? Where did he come from, how many homes did she have? What were the circumstances and timeline of this bird’s past, and how long have you had them?

Please physically describe your bird(s):

Has your bird ever laid an egg?

Yes or No and if yes, when was the last time your bird laid an egg?

If yes, what vet did they see, and what for? Was there any illness or injury history? Are there any health issues we need to be aware of?

What does your bird eat?

Tell us all about the diet you have your bird on, and what they are used to.

Where did your bird come from? What's the previous history of your bird as you now it?

How long have you had the bird, how long did the person before you have the bird, where did they get the bird – and so on. The only history we get is what you tell us, and it’s impossible to age a bird without any historical knowledge. You are the only link we have to this bird’s history.

Does your bird like to be handled?

Is your bird happy with being handled or does he/she prefer to be in their cage, independent? When was the last time your bird was handled? Are they stick trained?

Do you smoke in your home with your bird?
