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.

Severe Macaw
(female)
Severe Macaw, F,
"Loki" Based on her band and her behavior, female severe macaw Loki is probably a wild-caught bird. She is approximately 23 years old, but she may be young enough to learn a few new tricks. She had not been handled a lot in recent years and started out very cage aggressive Her foster family is working with her toward greater socialization, and thus far she does enjoy being spoken to and having her head scratched through the bars of her cage, and she likes to venture out on top of it, presumably to get a better view of what is going on around her. Although it is doubtful she ever be a cuddly bird, Loki will likely come into her own in a home that has the time and patience to work with her to help her regain the trust of a human companion. In all probability, though she may be many months from that, the right person will find her progress very rewarding.
