SURRENDERING YOUR PARROT

 

Before making the decision to surrender your parrot, we ask that you carefully revisit your reasons for wanting to re-home your bird and to consider the possibility of making the changes or employing training techniques that will allow your bird to stay under your care.  We will be more than happy to evaluate your situation and try to coach you through some strategies that may help improve your relationship with your parrot.  Sometimes there are health, logistics or family issues that make it impossible for people to keep their birds.  Other times, though, it is possible to manipulate environment, introduce routine and employ training techniques that can save a parrot from losing its home.

 

 Endowment Program

 

People who wish to enroll their parrots in the Foster Parrots Exotic Wildlife Sanctuary Life-Long Care Program and/or bequeath their parrots to Foster Parrots as a part of their estate planning insure the future care and security of their avian family members, provide support for the rescued population, and help insure the continuation of the mission and the facility itself.  Endowments ensure the availability of funding for routine screening and emergency medical expenses, high quality diets which include fresh fruit and vegetables daily, experienced and dedicated staff, construction and maintenance of aviaries and animal environments, and the on-going rescue of unwanted companion birds and other exotics.

 

Parrots entering the sanctuary under the ³ Life-Long Care Plan² must be accommodated by an endowment with the following values, payable upon admittance to the sanctuary program:

 

·       Large parrots (macaws, large cockatoos) - $30,000

·       Medium parrots (Amazons, greys, sm cockatoos) - $25,000

·       Small parrots (conures, senegals, etcŠ) - $8,000

 

Special discounted fees can be arranged for older birds based on anticipated species life expectancy at the following rates.  Prices below represent a per year charge:

 

·       Large - medium parrots - $1095/per year of life expectancy

·       Small parrots - $365/ per year of life expectancy            

 

¨     Those interested in the Foster Parrots Life-Long Care Program or those wishing to include the Foster Parrots Exotic Wildlife Sanctuary in estate planning may contact Marc Johnson or Karen Windsor directly.

 

Foster Parrots, Ltd. is a 501 (c)(3) non-profit organization dedicated to the rescue and sanctuary of unwanted, languishing and abused companion parrots.  Please visit our web site for more information regarding our work and philosophies.
