Adoption Application For Veterans only

Veterans Benifit Package

Veterans  Adoption Packet

Our Parrot Adoptions are now for Both US Veterans and their immediate family members.

We do not ship any parrots.

 Please be aware that we need you to be specific on the desired parrot you would like to adopt. This way we can confirm scheduling availability with the foster home before arranging a meet and greet.

Our adoption fees vary from parrot to parrot; as there are different factors that determine our adoption fees.

 The different factors are:

• Normally ½ the cost of retail, but we include their cage and a care package.
• The age of the parrot -temperament & tameness of the parrot.
• The condition of the parrot’s feathering.
• The amount of words he/she speaks- phrases- sings and dances and more.
• If the parrot is comfortable being handled by both men and women, and other animals.
• The condition of the current bird’s cage or if we need to replace it with a new cage.
• If it needed any additional special veterinary care before placement

We hope that you have carefully read the information about the parrot you would like to adopt. Please confirm that the parrot you selected is compatible with your gender and level of experience with parrots.

Other factors that are often overlooked are the special logistics after a successful meet and greet, such as;

If the adopter has a vehicle big enough to carry both the parrot and a cage, large floor T perch or tree, or items and materials that come with that particular parrot.

We hope this information helps you with your selection and gives you more insight into our adoption process. We place all of our birds with a special care package designed around them for a successful transition. We look forward to receiving your application.

*Compare what others offer compared to what we have to offer you with our lower adoption fees & care package.
