Other ways to find a new home for your parrot

Like Phoenix Landing, many animal adoption non-profits require that a bird be returned to them if the bird needs another home. If you adopted from a non-profit, be sure to check the adoption contract before trying to find a home on your own, and contact the organization from whom you adopted first. If you adopted from Phoenix Landing Foundation, we require the bird be returned to us. We love when a family member is interested in adopting a bird you adopted through Phoenix Landing, and wants the bird to remain in the family. In those instances, we are happy to work with them to sign a new adoption contract.

Finding a home on your own

Many people look for homes on their own for their birds. There are plenty of places to advertise for a new home. These include social media, through your avian veterinarian, or through local bird clubs.

If you need ideas for questions to ask prospective adopters, you may read over our adoption application and use any questions you would like to use from it.

Phoenix Landing and other parrot or animal organizations

It can sometimes be helpful to get on the wait list for multiple organizations, including Phoenix Landing, to see who may be able to help sooner rather than later.  We recommend you research and visit or become otherwise acquainted (if it is a foster-based organization) any organization to ensure it is an organization with which you are comfortable. 
​
Some local government shelters or humane societies will also take in and adopt out birds. This option may be especially helpful if you are near one that does and need to re-home a bird immediately due to a family emergency or other reason. Please contact the local shelter near you for more information about whether they accept and adopt out birds.
