I hope I’m putting this in the right forum, but Does anyone have suggestions for sanctuaries that will take care of your birds after the owner passes away?
It might be a bit early to plan this, but I want to have a plan just in case anything happens.
I saw a couple places that do it, but don’t see any reviews or pictures of the places. I just want to make sure I have a plan in place.
Thanks!

Suggestions for a facility will depend on where you're located.

I found this useful...

My local humane society has a humane steward program - they own your animal upon your death & you will the animal a trust fund. They place them & do sporadic check ins. The trust fund pays for food & vet bills.

The Oasis Sanctuary, in AZ, is a large and very well run Sanctuary.

I put money aside for the care of Louise, named a trusted friend to make the arrangements, and named the preferred rescue. In that way, if things changed with the rescue, she was free to pursue other options. I had a lawyer for estate planning not that there is much to leave....
