Bird Adoption is when the bird officially becomes the property of the new owner and as such you will understand that we take this process very seriously indeed. Our process of identifying and accepting someone as a potential adopter is stringent and we have high standards. This is only fair on the bird and on the owner who has had to, often through painful circumstances, offer their bird up for adoption. You would expect nothing less if it were your own bird being adopted.
 
To be considered as a potential adopter, please download and print the Application Form and return it to us at the address on the Contacts page. We will review it and get in touch to arrange for a home visit.
 
After adoption we will make further contact with you to ascertain that the bird is happy and healthy and that you are comfortable with the new arrival.
 
Note: the Application Form is in Microsoft Word format.

They are healthy and eat well. They are absolutely adorable to watch as they love to play together and with any toys that they can get their little feet and beaks on. Foster family is working with them as far as handling as they were a bit skittish but have come a long way. They seem to love each other so much that we could not bear the thought of separating them, so Molki and Sasha come as a pair, like bookends.
