rehoming

• Behavioural issues- such as biting, aggression, noise, feather picking and self mutilation.
• Health and Medical costs and owner stress.
• Owner’s life style change- moving, financial hardship, illness, death.
• Owners feel it is in the Birds best interest to be with other birds in a flock environment.
• Transferred from other rescue and sanctuary facilities.
• Lost and unclaimed
• Rescue due to abandonment, cruelty, danger

The Parrot Rescue Centre does not provide the “resale” of parrots we are designed exclusively to cater for parrots with legitimate rehoming needs.

The PRC is able to help rehome birds Australian Wide. We currently have Adoption/Rehoming Co-ordinators in all Australian states that volunteer their time to help rehome birds.

Each parrots individual needs will be assessed by the PRC to ensure that your bird is rehomed into the correct environment.

The Parrot Rescue Centre has created a strict set of criteria and application standards for New Adoptee's to help care for the Birds best interests. This enables us to ensure that your bird will be rehomed to someone that has the knowledge, experience and dedication to keep your parrot forever.

If your circumstance require emergency rehoming we will place your parrot with one of our dedicated carers who understand the needs and requirements of parrots and provide a safe and caring environment until a permanent home is found.

• Before you make a final decision to re home your parrot it is advised that you sit down with your family or other members of your household and critically reflect on the decision to rehome your parrot. Make a list of the reasons why you feel you can no longer keep your parrot and assure you’re self that you are in the process of making a decision that is truly in the best interests of the bird. After reflection you may feel that the issues you are facing primarily revolve around the behaviour of the parrot. In such circumstances we advise that you consider `Stage 2’ of our process and let’s see if we can help you work through issues and concerns that may be contributing to your interest in surrendering. In cases where a change of living circumstances, health concerns or an incapacity to care for your parrot are evident then you can proceed to `Stage 3’.

• After you have reflected on your situation you may feel it is worth one last effort to work through behaviour and/or care issues you have with your parrot and that is what the Parrot Rescue Centre Behavioural Consultants and Educational Workshops and recourses are there for. We have resources in place right here on our website that will help you work through your situation. We have a number of behaviour & care consultants who may be able to come to you for an in-home consultation or arrange a phone consultation to address specific areas of support you require. These are generally fee paying services but it should be considered a minimal investment in seeking potential long-term solutions. Access our behaviour and care consultant listing by clicking here.
• If you would like further direction on which books and articles we recommend you read for behaviour advice then please email us at info@parrotrescuecentre.com
• If you feel that you would like to continue with the rehoming process then proceed to Stage 3.
  

• Please email us at rehoming@parrotrescuecentre.com and we will send you further information on rehoming your parrot through the PRC. You will hear back from us within a few days. If you have not heard back from us within a few days your email may of not been recieved, so either send it again or call us.
• The PRC Currently has Placement Co-ordinators in all Australian States who volunteer their time to help rehome parrots. You will be contacted by your state Co-ordinator through the process of your birds rehoming.

Thank you to the Parrot Rescue Centre who do an amazing job finding homes for all the little feathered guys and gals that need them. Today my beautiful Indy boy (Alexandrine Parrot) met his new family and I have to say that I cannot imagine a more perfect home for him. I know he will be loved, treasured and spoilt everyday

I am so happy that Lynda and Ian love him as much as I have! He is such an amazing bird with such a loving personality. I spoke to some bird breeders at the bird store here in Dallas when I was buying finch food and they assured me that had I tried to bring Clancy to the states, he would have been very scared and upset and would probably never recover, and they don't think anyone should do it. So I feel I made the right decision, I am so happy you and Lynda could help me out, and that Clancy ended up in SUCH a loving home. I couldn't ask for a better place for him. Thanks again for all your support.

As you know it was such a difficult decision to rehome Champas because I had hand raised her over 14 years ago and she had really bonded with me over such a long period of time. After moving into our new place and seeing her so unsettled and unhappy, I knew I had to look at rehoming her to an aviary where she had more space and the opportunity to partner up with another Alex. Although it was a very difficult decision to make, once I saw Danny's set up, it made me so happy to know that she will be really well looked after. His aviary is absolutely amazing! I took so many photos of her new home and all of the other parrots there. It really made it alot easier for me to rehome her when I knew she was going to someone that you had reccommended and who understood parrots completely. Danny has also offered for me to visit her every now and then which is so lovely and definately something I will do once she has completely settled in.

I really appreciate all of your effort in helping me find Champas a new home. You do such an amazing job Zarita and have been so helpful to me over the years with boarding Champas when I have been away. Hopefully one day when our situation changes, I may be able to support the Parrot Rescue Centre by becoming an adoptee to show my appreciation. Thanks again and all the best,

Pleased to say that I just got back from delivering Eddie to his new home. I will miss him something terrible, but I am so happy with Mary and her family, Eddie is going to fit in so well. He's interacting with Mary's other birds very well and seems to be right at home. I couldn't possibly think of a better outcome for this situation. Rehoming is something I have been dreading for so long, but thanks to the PRC, the results have been amazing. I am super impressed with the service you provided and extremely happy with the outcome. I thank you sincerely for helping Eddie and myself through this difficult process.

I emailed you a while back about my Rainbow Lorikeet Gabby and re-homing. He has been at the wildlife centre near Richmond and found a new friend along the way. I am delighted that Naomi took him to his new home last Saturday and now the 2 lorikeets are with another one. Naomi has been a Godsend in sorting this out and he couldn't be in a better place, she tells me it is a great aviary set up and not only has he got 2 female friends, he has a new "mum" who will get him out to play. All three Lorikeets are getting along amazingly and it warmed my heart to hear this, Naomi will keep me posted on his progress.

I felt so awful putting him up for adoption, but I know I made the right decision for him and I am sooooo happy he has gone to the best home. I am very confident he will be as loving and surely as entertaining for his new owner as he was for me. He truely is a great little guy, he entertained Naomi on the drive down saying "Good boy Gabby!"

I'd like to thank you and your team for doing a great job, and helping me at a difficult time.  I will continue to send donations, it will be a delight to help you out wherever possible.
