Thank you for visiting A-Parrot to A-Flamingo Rescue, Inc., Parrot Rescue's Home Page here on Petfinder.com.
Do you need assistance in locating a new home for your parrot -- or are you considering adopting a parrot? Please read this page first, prior to inquiring further. We have lots of nice birds in need of good homes now!
Who We Are
A-Parrot to A-Flamingo Rescue, Inc., Parrot Rescue is a No-Kill, not-for-profit Ohio parrot/pet bird rescue, safe haven, and re-homing agency. Our function is to re-home birds we accept. We are located in northern Ohio, and all birds come in and go out through A-Parrot's Brecksville, Ohio location.
ADOPTING A SMALL OR LARGE PARROT
Step 1: Pls. read over this page first. Then read our website.
Most of the questions you may have about our parrot/bird acceptance and adoption procedures are noted on our website. Birds are subject to adoption at any time. Birds come in and may go out quickly.
Our website is at: http://aparrottoaflamingoinc.zoomshare.com/
STEP 2:
Our adoption application process starts out via an email "chat" to get to know you and to find out what birds you own now. We accept older birds which may or may not come with some personality “issues” therefore we feel it is best to adopt those birds out to “experienced” parrot owners.
STEP 3:
Our link for "Adoptable Birds" is noted at the end of this page. Our "Adoptable Birds List" is revised as fast as we can. Our email “chat” will explain our process further to you. We reserve the right to adopt out birds and parrots to the most qualified and responsible adult Adopter who follows our adoption process. An Adoption Contract finalizes the bird’s transfer to you.
DO YOU NEED TO FIND A HOME FOR YOUR PARROT?
Our organization accepts healthy parrots and small cage birds (no wild birds, farm birds, doves, or pigeons) in need of a new home, any age or personality. We work diligently to find the best home for all birds released into our care.
Older or younger parrots, tame or not tame, loud or quiet, also budgies and small birds are accepted. However, your bird/parrot must be in good health and feather condition to be able to be re-homed by A-Parrot to A-Flamingo Rescue.
ADOPTING A PARROT, LARGE OR SMALL:
1. A-Parrot to A-Flamingo Rescue is looking for patient Adopters with an open mind to accepting a bird they “may” have to work with a little. Most of the birds we get in are older, but still have a lot of years of life ahead of them. Our interview will give you details about the bird you are interested in.
2. Adopters must reside within driving distance close to the State of Ohio. Michigan, and Pennsylvania are OK. Inquire. A-Parrot Rescue does NOT ship birds. We do not deliver birds to you, nor do we meet you part way for drop-off.
3. Birds are not free. A-Parrot to A-Flamingo Rescue survives on donations. 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.
4. Our PARROTS, large or small, MUST find homes with experienced PARROT OWNERS. You will need to be able to send us a paper copy of a proof receipt of your parrot ownership. Ex. purchase receipt, vet check receipt, DNA certificate, claw clipping receipt, etc. Pictures and videos are not acceptable.
5. The adoption process starts with an email interview/chat and questionnaire. Applications can be mailed out after your interview. We do not interview by phone. Everyone must start out with our email chat/interview first.
Email our interviewer at: aparrottoaflamingo@danworld.com
6. A-Parrot Rescue is unable to consider "visits" until an Adopter's application has been approved by our Board of Directors.
7. Others may be "applying" for the same bird as you are. A-Parrot's Board of Directors makes all final adoption decisions. A-Parrot to A-Flamingo Rescue reserves the right to turn down an applicant and also to refuse to accept any bird offered to us. Our policies may change without notice.
8. Other adoption policies and qualifications apply. Our "email chat" explains more.
9. A-Parrot Rescue does not adopt out parrots as gifts for children or to adults who have never owned a parrot before. See our "proof receipt" requirement (No. 4).
If you feel you tentatively qualify per the above points, congratulations! Please email us promptly to start your pre-determination adoption interviews. We are looking forward to meeting you via email!
ADOPTING A SMALL BIRD -- COCKATIEL, BUDGIE, LOVEBIRD, FINCH, CANARY
No proof of ownership receipt is necessary to adopt these common species of birds. There is still an email "chat" process to follow, though. If you are new to bird ownership, please be sure to check out Petfinder's great info articles on this site.
A-Parrot to A-Flamingo, Inc.'s Funding:
A-Parrot to A-Flamingo, Inc, Parrot Rescue is a non-funded, not-for-profit parrot rescue agency. Our birdseed is thankfully paid for by private donations, with a little money held in reserve for medical treatment of our rescues. In return, A-Parrot Rescue concentrates all of our time and effort in temporarily housing, caring for, and locating good homes for any bird released to our care.
____________________________________________________________________________
Specific 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, magazines, junk papers, please.) At this time, we have plenty of bird toys.
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.
A-Parrot Rescue 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 item or amount is too small.
Did I mention that we need PLAIN NEWSPAPER, AND LOTS OF IT?????
