Please read the following information in its entirety.Feathered Friends Forever is a rescue/refuge and sanctuary for unwanted, neglected or abused companion birds. Due to the history of each of the birds here, it is of utmost importance that the best interest of the bird is represented at all times. Please consider that the following are some of the reasons that birds are brought to Feathered Friends: - Started biting everyone in the house.
- Too messy.
- Too loud.
- Destructive.
- No time for the bird.
- Started plucking feathers.
- We had, or are having, a baby.
- I changed jobs.
- Dislikes other household members (wife, husband, children).
Remember that companion birds are expensive to maintain and live relatively long life spans. Most will outlive all of us. Adopting a companion bird is not to be misconstrued as an easy or cheap alternative to purchasing one. The adoption process is lengthy and involves costs to the prospective adopter. There is a nonrefundable application processing fee of $25.00 and if approved by FFF for adoption, the individual or family must then arrange a visit to the facility. Upon approval by the bird who chooses to adopt the potential new family, there are additional adoption fees to recover what FFF has invested in the bird. These costs vary and are specific to each individual bird. Cages are an important part of the bird's life. Some came here with their own home and that must be purchased separately. Otherwise we have a number of good used cages available for an additional tax deductible donation. Please note that Feathered Friends Forever will not ship birds. No exceptions! You must meet your bird in person and we have carriers available to transport your new companion. If you taking commercial aircraft, be aware that live animals may only be transported in certain weather conditions. Check with your airline for details. Ready to adopt?
