Adoption Policies

Things to Consider

  • Parrots are a lifestyle and living with one is very different 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?

Other Terms

  • We adopt within Canada only.
  • You must be able to travel to the greater Vancouver area to meet us and the birds.
  • A home visit with a representative of our choosing is mandatory.
  • Participation in our online Bird Basics class is required.
  • We do not adopt to anyone under the age of 19.
  • We do not adopt parrots to be given as gifts.
  • Having other animals does not exclude you from adoption; however, a behavior assessment is required. We assess the ability of adults in the home to manage a multi-species household.
