Adoption Policies

Thank you for considering adoption!

As there is huge responsibility in living with a captive parrot, we want to ensure that you have the education and tools necessary to provide a safe and healthy home for your new family member.

Things To Consider

  • Parrots are a lifestyle and living with one is a very different experience than living with a cat or dog.
  • Parrots are complex social animals with emotional and physical needs.
  • Parrots can be loud, some can achieve 135 decibels
  • Parrots can be messy, vacuums and floor mops become your best friends
  • Parrots can be destructive, can you live without baseboards or trim?
  • Parrots can live 80+ years, will you?
  • Living with a parrot can be one of the most rewarding relationships of your life!

Adoption Policies

  • You must be able to travel to the greater Vancouver area to meet us and the birds

  • We do not adopt parrots to be given as gifts
