There must be no use of teflon, incense, air fresheners or any other aerosol based products in the general vicinity of your bird(s).Īpplicants must first complete an Adoption Application. Every question requires a detailed answer. While we discourage smoking, you will not be disqualified as an applicant if you do smoke. This includes smoking indoors and where your bird is living. If you smoke, you must not smoke around your birds. These things harm birds and can be done without even thinking about it. Smoking, using incense, air fresheners and teflon products all pose threats to the health and well being of birds. Applicants must demonstrate that they are able to provide a calm, solid, loving, avian knowledgeable environment. If an applicant is in a relationship, it should be a committed relationship with plenty of mutual respect. No administrative fees or salaries are paid. Please note that 100% of proceeds go directly to the care and support of our birds monetary donations also go to the care of our birds. You are encouraged to purchase your avian supplies with us either online or at our store. (toys, perches, and food bowls) Applicants should be prepared financially to meet the costs involved before your submission of an application. Generally, adoption fees will run from $200 to $1200, mostly including their cage and things that go along with it. Fees vary and are based on the species, the age of the exotic bird, temperament, social nature, feathering, history, and other factors. This includes proper feeding, housing in an appropriate powder coat or stainless steel cage, providing ample toys, a play stand, and health care with an avian knowledgeable veterinarian. While adoption fees are very low, the expenses in regard to proper feeding and care of an exotic bird are considerably higher than that of a cat or dog. If you feel your children exhibit an exemplary level of maturity, you are welcome to apply. However, each family is judged on its own merit.
Families that have children that have been raised around exotic birds are always welcome to submit an application. An exotic bird’s bite can severely injure children. Keep in mind that our exotic birds always have the final say as to who they desire to adopt them.Īpplicants with young children, infants, or planning a pregnancy are discouraged from applying until the children are older. Having ample time to devote to your bird is vitally important. Some exotic birds require more time with their owner than others. AZ Exotic Bird Rescue leans more toward applicants that have a calm “home-body” type of life style. The amount of time applicants are able to spend with a bird is also very important. It is recommended that applicants extensively study exotic birds because AZ Exotic Bird Rescue is going to be asking questions to determine what they understand regarding a potential future feathered family member. It is the belief of AZ Exotic Bird Rescue that first-time owners of exotic birds may be better suited adopting a smaller bird first. They would be expected to gainexperience and understanding by volunteering at AZ ExoticBird Rescue locations after they are deemed a suitable applicant. For example,a person that has no experience with exotic birds would notgenerally be approved to adopt a large Macaw or other exotic birds of a similar size. An applicant's experience with exotic birds plays a major rolein the type of bird they are approved to adopt.
