In their defense I might say that, sometimes, volunteers don't follow the guidelines they are given (and I know this firsthand because I was in charge of the volunteers, doing the training and such, for a while at the dog and cat rescue).
I'll say it again, check with A Helping WIng, John and Jeanne are real good people and I am sure they will work with you.
I received an Email from a woman named Jennifer at A Helping Wing - she informed me that they will not re-activate my Adoption Application and wished me the best in getting the bird I am looking for. I don't know who John and Jeanne are at this Rescue, but I have not been in contact with them. Thus far, my experience with Bird Rescue Organizations has not been a positive one. I am going with my initial plan, and that is to purchase the bird I want in the Spring.
