Adoption - How to?
If you are interested in adopting a bird from Second Chance Bird Rescue,
please read the following. If you are still interested, please complete
the adoption
application and return it to us via email. Birds available for
adoption can be viewed on Our Residents page.
If you can't commit to an adoption, consider supporting one of the many
parrots at Second Chance Bird Rescue who may never be permanently re-homed due
to medical or behavioral issues. By sponsoring one of these parrots you
are single-handedly providing support for his or her independent care.

Inc.
Why Adopt?
- There are many sweet and talented birds who need a loving home - previous
owners didn't recognize what they had.
- Provide a loving bird a second chance
- Every year thousands of birds are being surrendered, yet more birds are
being born in breeding programs
Who Can Adopt?:
We prefer to adopt birds to families in the local area.
However, we do make exceptions on out of state adoptions, but we do not ship the
birds. You must be able to visit the bird you are interested in adopting
to ensure the bird is a good fit before we will complete the adoption.
Things to consider before adoption:
- Adoption provides a bird a second chance
- Birds require regular avian veterinary care
- Birds thrive on attention, and will do anything to get yours
- Not all parrots talk! While many may eventually learn to mimic or
talk, it is not certain yours will
- A parrot can live for 50 years and beyond; a pet that will require care for
many years to come
- Birds are messy and can be very noisy
