Virtual Adoption

Virtual Adoption and Sponsership Program
			The Parrot Rescue Centre is solely run by volunteers and donations, it does not receive any financial assistance from the government. We do not like to turn away any parrot but due to the cost and time involved in building aviaries, providing fresh food and enrichment, the time has come where we can only provide quality care for so many.
			Due to the increase of surrendered birds in Australia our resources are stretched to the limit and we need your help in regards to foster carers, donations of food, toys, cages, aviaries or aviary materials. There is a lot of time, resources, effort and expense taken to manage behaviour problem and permanent sanctuary parrots, therefore only a limited amount are able to come in at one time.
Ruby has been rehomed to a dedicated carer who now has her living in a large flock aviary with other female and male Eclectus Parrots.

We have a responsibility to do what is right
When a bird is surrendered with behaviour problems, they are firstly assessed by a qualified avian vet, then assessed by a behaviour consultant (throughout there rehab) and then monitored by our qualified staff. This process is timely and expensive and due to the PRC relying solely on volunteers and donations, we are only able to take in a limited amount of parrots. There are many birds waiting to come into our care for help, but due to limited recourses we are unable to take them all in at present.
With your help, by sponsoring a parrot, we are then able to provide what is needed to take in more parrots and move parrots through rehab more effectively and efficiently. Please sponsor one of our lovely rehabilitation or sanctuary parrots, so then we can provide more homes for unwanted, neglected and abused parrots. Foster Parrots in America who are a rescue organisation also, have created an exiting virtual adoption and sponsorship program in which the Parrot Rescue Centre has adopted with their permission.
The Parrot Rescue Centre feel strongly about education, as this is a vital part of our mission. We are reaching out to our community in an effort to inform the future generations of the problems caused by the impulsive purchase of parrots. We hope that by offering a virtual adoption/sponsorship program that many will be able to participate in the care of unwanted, neglected or abused parrots. Virtual adoptions are available to individuals as well as to groups. Schools, clubs, sporting groups and individuals may virtually adopt/sponsor a parrot from our current population.
