Private Adoptions & Small Parrots

From time to time WAES receives calls concerning smaller birds, such as budgies, finches, cockatiels and lovebirds, in need of adoptive homes. Though it is impractical for WAES to participate in the adoption process for these smaller birds, private adoptions are sometimes arranged between the parties. The Rescue Committee will help facilitate contact concerning private adoptions whenever possible. In the case of a private adoption, WAES neither arranges nor pays for the veterinary exam, disease testing, or health care, nor does WAES warrant the health of the bird. If you choose to adopt privately, please remember that the only way to know if a bird is ill or carrying a disease is to have an avian vet check the bird and perform various tests. Regardless of where or how you acquire a bird, any bird new to your home should be quarantined for at least 60 days to prevent the spread of disease and to help the bird gradually acclimate to its new environment.
