Bird Adoption at The FWCAS
Steps For Adoption
- Join our Bird Alert e-mail list to learn what birds are available for adoption. Send requests to rescue@fwcas.org
- Read this article: A Parrot's Bill Of Rights
- Complete a five page application. (Forms available below.) Either mail it to our PO Box or fax it to 941-379-4136. Review our contract first to be sure you agree to our terms.
- If the application is approved, a home visit will take place to ensure that the bird will be placed into a safe and healthy environment. There is a $ 10.00 home visit fee to cover gas.
- If you pass the home visit, it's time to meet the bird(s). If the bird is being fostered in the Rescue, you can phone us to make an appointment. If the bird is being fostered elsewhere, you will be contacted by the foster parent to arrange a meeting. Several visits may be necessary to form a bond with the bird.
- If a match is made (you like the bird and the bird likes you,) the bird should be tested by an avian vet before moving in with you. Once the bird's health is confirmed, the contract is signed, and the bird moves into your home.
- Another home visit will be scheduled after the bird has had time to settle in. Additional visits may occur on an as-needed basis.
