Thank you for visiting A-Parrot to A-Flamingo Rescue's Home Page on Petfinder. Please be sure to read over this page and our website before contacting us. Most of the questions you may have about our parrot/bird acceptance and adoption procedures are noted there.

Our (revised) website is at: http://aparrottoaflamingoinc.zoomshare.com/

Our adoption application process starts out via an email "chat" to get to know you and to find out what birds you own now. Our link for "Adoptable Birds" is noted at the end of this page. Our "Adoptable Birds List" is revised as fast as we can. Birds are subject to adoption at any time. Birds come in and may go out quickly.

Who We Are

A-Parrot to A-Flamingo, Inc., Parrot Rescue is a not-for-profit Ohio parrot/pet bird rescue, safe haven, and re-homing agency. We are not a sanctuary that homes birds for the rest of their life, although it can take as long as it has to find just the RIGHT home for birds released to our care. A-Parrot to A-Flamingo is a "No Kill" organization. We are located in northern Ohio, and all birds come in and go out through A-Parrot's Brecksville, Ohio location. A-Parrot to A-Flamingo Rescue has taken the place of the Bird Placement Program, Medina/Brecksville, Ohio which is CLOSED as of June 2007.

Donating your Parrot to A-Parrot to A-Flamingo Rescue

Our organization accepts parrots and small cage birds in need of a new home, any age, for any reason (except illness, of course). We work diligently to find the best home for all birds released into our care.

A-Parrot to A-Flamingo, Inc. will take in all small to large parrots (cockatoos, grays, macaws, conures, other parakeet and parrot species, budgies, cockatiels, finches, etc). We do not take in wild birds, pigeons, lories, mynahs, or farm birds -- or any other pet. We may have a referral for doves.

Older or younger parrots , tame or not tame, are accepted. However, your bird/parrot must be in good health and condition to be placeable by A-Parrot to A-Flamingo Rescue.

Got any flamingos you do not want? We will gladly accept any plastic garden flamingo to add to our "garden flock" too. We also need NEWSPAPER!!

Do You Want to Adopt a Bird?

1. Adopters must reside within driving distance close to the State of Ohio. Michigan, and Pennsylvania are OK. Inquire. A-Parrot does NOT ship birds. We do not deliver birds to you, nor do we meet you part way for drop-off.

2.Birds are not "free". There are donations per bird. We understand times are tough right now, but donations are necessary for us to be able to keep purchasing food for birds in our possession and to be able to take in future birds in need of a safe haven / good home.

3. A-Parrot does not adopt out any bird for breeding purposes. It is also mandatory that all bands not be cut of our rescue birds' legs.

4. We are looking for responsible adult Adopters who are serious about taking in an older bird and who are willing to follow A-Parrot's adoption process.

5. IMPORTANT: PARROT adopters must provide us with a proof receipt that they own a parrot now, or have owned and lived with the species in the recent past. Several types of receipts apply. Inquire. (Pictures do not count.) Priority for adoption is always given to someone who submits a proof receipt.

6. The process starts with an email chat/questionnaire. Questions and donation inquiries are discussed in our last (second or third) email. Applications are mailed afterward. We do not interview by phone.

7. A-Parrot is unable to consider "visits" until an Adopter's application has been approved by our Board of Directors. Then it is up to you to make an appointment to visit the bird of your choice.

8. Others may be "applying" for the same bird as you are. A-Parrot's Board of Directors makes all final adoption decisions. It is easy to adopt a small bird from our organization.

9. Other adoption policies and qualifications apply. See our website. Our policies may change without notice. A-Parrot to A-Flamingo Rescue reserves the right to turn down an applicant and also to refuse to accept any (questionable) bird offered to us.

A-Parrot to A-Flamingo Rescue thanks you for checking out our parrot placement organization!

Adopting a COCKATIEL, BUDGIE, LOVEBIRD, FINCH, CANARY

 No proof of ownership receipt is necessary to adopt the small birds. There is still an email "chat" process to follow, though. If you are new to bird ownership, please be sure to do your research on bird species and care first.

A-Parrot to A-Flamingo, Inc.'s Funding:

A-Parrot to A-Flamingo, Inc, Parrot Rescue is a non-funded, non-501C3, not-for-profit parrot rescue agency.  We concentrate our organization's efforts in taking in and locating good homes for any bird released to our care. Period.

A-Parrot's major concern is being able to purchase seed, pellets, treats, veggies, and fruit for our rescue birds so we can continue to take in the next bird in need. The only way we are able to keep feeding and caring for the birds available for placement, and more birds coming in, is by the generosity of a monetary gift from you.

____________________________________________________________________________

Items our Agency is in Need of:

Any brand of seed or pellets, cuttlebone, millet spray, and any size pet water bottle. We also need plain NEWSPAPER sheets (no colored sale papers, please.) At this time, we have plenty of bird toys.

A-Parrot wishes to thank all of the kind people who have already personally donated items and financial support to our cause (parrot/pet bird rescue and re-homing). No amount is too small.
