Adoption Application

It is strongly recommend reviewing the Adoption Information page before you complete the Adoption Application. Every blank must have an answer for the application to be processed. Vague or incomplete answers will result in your application being eliminated without notice. Please review your application prior to submitting.

Some questions may involve study on your part. Make certain you double check every question! The parrots entrusted to our care come with a strong commitment of responsibility to assure that we place them in a solid, avian knowledgeable, financially stable, loving homes. We ask probing questions, in so much as some of the parrots we re-home have already experienced trauma and hardship. We do everything within our power to prevent history from repeating itself. The vast majority of parrots surrendered to our care come from wonderful homes and we are dedicated to maintain that level of superb care.

The adoption donation applies differently to each bird and is based on the following factors: species, age, feathering, temperament, and history. Adoption fees range from about $200-$900 and are generally about half (1/2) or less of what a parrot retails for in a pet store, breeder, or avian pet shop by itself. At Arizona Exotic Bird Rescue, Inc. we provide you with, in this adoption donation, a cage,toys, perches and your bird included with much more knowledge than you will get at a for profit establishment. Your tax deductible gift goes to the care and operating costs of the birds. They're no salaries paid to anyone!! Our officers, staff, board of directors are all volunteers.

A home study is generally done to assist us in making our decision in the placement of our exotic birds. Seeing the environment where the bird will be living and meeting the people and pets residing in the home helps us determine what bird would fit best in your family. Furthermore, this allows you to answer questions we may have in person as well as seek our advice on matters concerning the care of exotic birds.

In the event a home study is to be scheduled, we will notify you in advance and allow you to set a time best fitting your schedule. Additionally, we ask that you donate a minimum of $25.00 in advance of our visit to cover our expenses. Donations are non-refundable and do not guarantee an applicant’s approval.
