Aitricles infomation
There is a difference between a rescue organization and a sanctuary organization. Rescue organizations accept relinquished or rescued birds with the intention of finding them a suitable home. Often there is a rehabilitation period for sick or injured bird or birds with unfavorable behaviors.A sanctuary organization accepts birds relinquished to the sanctuary and the birds become permanent residents rather than being placed in new homes. Some organizations may be a combination of both rescue and santuary.
Parrot adoption organizations may have a facility or they may utilize a foster home placement model. Both systems have benefits. A facility offers a central place to house the birds, more standardized quarantine procedures, and more accessibility by the public. The foster home models offers one on one care for the birds as they are in a private home and interacting with a family. The foster home model has the ability to expand the number of homes as the need increases.
Not every bird does well in a sanctuary situation and not every bird is best served in an adoption situation. You need to know your bird and ask yourself questions about what situation would be best for your bird. Sanctuaries often have flights full of birds that co-mingle and would be a recommended solution if your bird is happy interacting with other birds and is not a "people" bird. If daily interaction with a family Is what your bird is currently use to, then your bird would be best served in a foster home environment. Weigh the pros and cons of each type of organization so you can choose where your bird will be best served.
Sanctuaries openings are limited because they do not re-home birds and have a capacity limit. A benefit to a sanctuary is the knowledge that your birds will never go anywhere else.
Parrot rescue organizations are more plentiful than sanctuaries. They often do rehabilitation work with the birds and have training programs for foster homes and adopters alike.
Parrot rescue organization and sanctuaries do not purchase birds. Purchasing quite often leads to selling and if you are purchasing or selling birds you are neither a parrot rescue organization nor a sanctuary but instead you have become a bird broker or retail establishment.
No reputable parrot rescue organization or sanctuary should every permit birds in their care to be used for any breeding purposes that would add to the growing overpopulation of parrots.
Thoroughly question any organizations that is eager to to take your bird off your hands without questions. Most reputable organizations do not want your bird to lose its current home. They should ask the reason for relinquishment and try to help you resolve any issues that are barriers to you keeping your bird.

Parrot Rescue Organizations
How do you choose a parrot adoption organization? You should consider statistics, as many parrot rescue organizations fail within the first few years. Choosing an organization that has been around for a while will offer the best outcome for your bird. Make sure the organization is a public non-profit 501(c)3 organization. Non-profit status is designated by the IRS and all non-profit organization are prohibited to conduct business as a for-profit organization and are required to submit annual financial statements to the IRS. Non-profits provide a service to the public and donations to them are tax deductible for the donor. Keep in mind also that having non-profit status only determines they don't make a profit, it says nothing about what the organization stands for and how it operates. The IRS does not do facility inspections or monitor policies and you should not assume the 501(c) 3 status has any bearing on the quality of the organization.
Often the best and longest lasting organizations are those that are run by a multiple-member Board of Directors and not owned or operated by one person or family. A stable non-profit will be governed by a Board of Directors, who may or may not be actively involved in daily operations or with the birds under the care of the organization. Well documentated Articles, Bylaws, and policies will serve as guidelines for governing and will help ensure the longevity of the rescue to continue for many years. You also want to look at the organization's mission statement as well as its policies and procedures and standards of care. Everything the organization stands for and believes in should be clearly outlined for the public to see.
Knowing how the organization is currently funded and how it plans to continue to accrue funding is important. Money is a common reason many fail so make sure the organization you choose is stable.
Parrot rescue organizations should have some focus or awareness of conservation issues. They should be at least aware of and supportive of these issues if not actively working with conservation programs.
Look at other programs and services the organization offers. This gives you an idea of what other goals and projects the organization is working to accomplish.
An organization should be easily accessible by phone, mail, e-mail and through the web and sometimes through a central office or facility. Correspondence should be returned promptly within reason, giving consideration that most rescues are ran by volunteers who are donating their time, energy, and efforts. Information should be readily volunteered and questions answered completely with no hint of anything hidden or unsaid.
Don't hesitate to check out the organization you are considering. Ask for references. Listen to word of mouth from people you trust. See what other organizations they may be affiliated with or a member of. If you hear negative statements regarding the organizaztion, ask questions, do research, and come to your own conclusions.

Look at the experience and training of the persons involved. How much support do they have? An organization run by just a few people is likely going to suffer burn out. Do they have a good supply of foster homes and volunteers? Is there plans for turnover in staff and volunteers?
Know exactly how the organization operates and what will be the steps taken to care for and place your bird. If you do not have a recent vet visit with a clearn bill of health for your bird, it should receive an avian exam and fecal gram stain. There should be an evaluation of your bird for any behavior or medical issues and work to correct any issues before placement in a new home. A quarantine period of one month is recommended and that period should be in a qualified foster home or with qualified staff in a facility. They should impose strict adoption requirements to ensure a permanent home with someone who is aware of the commitment and has the ability to adequately care for your bird. You should expect a 4-8 week adoption process and often a probation period before final approval as well as follow-ups after the adoption.

Public education of parrot wellfare and care should play a role in any legitimate parrot rescue organization. Reasonable adoption fee should be charged along with education for potential adopters and foster home participants, as to what constitutes appropriate care for your avian companion and how to deal with behavior problems. Offering educational opportunities to the general public throughout the year is also desirable.
How difficult is it to adopt from the organization you are considering relinquishing your bird to? Do they adopt to pretty much anyone that shows up and wants a bird and can pay the adoption fee or do they screen the adopters, requiring education, counseling, home inspections, and visits to the bird they wish to adopt? Do they require potential adopters to submit applications? Do they educate that not everyone should be a parrot owner, that the difficulties and joys of parrot ownership should be entered into for the life of the bird and that not all prospective adopters are able to fulfil that role? Home inspections should be conducted and visits with the bird should be expected. Contracts should always be required and read by both parties.

What level of commitment does the organization have towards your bird and it's future? Do they require the bird to be returned to the organization if at any time the adopter no longer wishes to keep or can keep the bird? Or can adopters sell or give the adopted bird away at a later date?
They should not be taking your bird to fairs to sell to the first person that comes with the cash. They should not be giving your bird to someone who drops by on the weekend while they are in town looking for a bird. All applicants should be adequately screened.
Keep in mind that reputable organizations work with each other toward a common goal. Be wary of organizations that seem to be in competition with other parrot adoption organizations but don't expect every parrot adoption organization to endorse every other parrot adoption organization. Not all organizations are reputable. There are a lot of well-intentioned people out there who say they rescue birds but lack the education, resources and often lack the desire or don't see the necessity in screening applicants accurately.
It is our hope that this information can be of use to you in selecting an organization to work with. We provide a link to other parrot adoption organizations and sanctuaries in the menu on the left. However, we do not give a recommendation to any of these but instead encourage you to check them out for yourself.
