A few weeks ago, I contacted a local Parrot Rescue here asking if they had any Senegal Parrots
that needed a new home. The Adoption Coordinator indicated they did not but asked if I would
be interested in a Pionus. I agreed to look at the bird, unaware that they did not as yet have the
bird in their possession. I completed online the Adoption Application and submitted it. I was then
told by the Coordinator that there were other requirements that had to be met --- they wanted
a video of the location in my home where the bird cage would be housed; they required a telephone interview; they required (2) personal references that they could contact; and they told
me that my Application would have to be approved by the Board of Directors. Initially I said no,
I was not interested in going thru with the Adoption, and would purchase my parrot outright.
I have since reconsidered, and thought it really would be a good thing to give a Parrot a new
home. So I took photo's of my home and the location the bird cage would be located and
submitted it.
I am still waiting for a reply from the Adoption Coordinator. Has anyone else had this type of
experience with a Parrot Rescue Organization ?
