PEARL Parrot Rescue's Adoption Policy

Thank you for considering adopting your new feathered companion through PEARL Parrot Rescue. It is estimated that approximately 85% of birds purchased are rehomed or abandoned within the first two years of ownership. By considering adoption you are helping put an end to this crisis affecting companion parrots in the United States. In order to adopt from PEARL, all potential adopters must complete our three step adoption process.

During these classes we discuss our expectations on caging, diet, enrichment, training, and so much more.
