It is important to remember that these are rescued birds. Many come with behaviour issues although we do our best to work with the birds before placement it is important to understand and acknowledge the difficulty level some parrots can bring with them.

What traits of a parrot that you are interested in adopting and are you able to accept? Please keep in mind that we WILL not knowingly adopt out self mutilators or aggressive parrots who will undoubtedly harm someone! However it is always most important to remember that parrots WILL bite at some point and fear will enhance a birds response to bite. We can not be held responsible for any bites inflicted by an adopted parrot.  Parrots can also be noisey and several times a day they will sound off.  Some more than others however it is important to understand again that this is a natural flock call common in all species of birds.  You must determine your tolerance level of squawking as well as noise level some birds are louder than others.

Sometimes we will take these steps however it is not always the case.
