Man I wish I could help I have dustball birds though. I'll reach out to a few peopleI know to see ifI can find a backup plan in case the rescue can't take them.
Yes, I understand how rescues operate. How the good ones do it, anyway. I would be happy with a well run rescue who would find a good placement for them or to find a family myself. Either wayWith any of the rescues, you would have to relinquish your birds to their care and sign an agreement doing so. Your sweet babies would be placed with a foster family for 30 days of quarantine and be seen by the rescue's vet. Once the quarantine period is over, your birds would be made available for adoption if there wasn't a 'foster fail'. I know you are wanting to find a home for them to go straight into, but that is not typically the case when relinquishing them to a parrot rescue. I can tell you that Companion Parrots Rehomed makes all their adopting families go through two education courses and either submit to a home inspection or submit photos of the proposed set up in their home. If they have existing birds, they must have a negative psittacosis test. Adopters must also submit a name of an avian or exotic vet they have contacted or have an existing relationship with.
Just saw this. Am sending you a PM right nowContact me....I may be able to help.
Yes- I sent you a PMAre you still trying to find a home for Lucy & Mabel?
I will reach out to them if you find the contact info, but Texas isn’t driving distance from me. I’m in Atlanta. I googled it and the Easternmost border of Texas (the one closest to me) is 10 hours each way. That’s with no stops. There’s no way that I could physically endure 20+ hours in the car. My health is just not good enough. And that’s just the close side of Texas. The Western border is a 20 hr drive 1 way.There was a parrot club in Texas that hosted a seminar many years ago that I went to.
I'll see if I can find info. They should be within driving distance and maybe they have some thoughts.
Have you contacted your vet? Maybe they know someone that would be willing to adopt or even just foster while you search?
I will call them today! I hadn’t reached out to either of those places because they are so incredibly far from me. But if they have some sort of long distance transport situation available, then maybe we could make it work!I'm so sorry to hear that they are still needing homes and things are getting harder. I really hope that someone wonderful will come forward to adopt them.
Have you tried Macaw and Cockatoo Rescue of NM or even Ginger's Parrot rescue in AZ? I know recently several times parrots from across the country like from FL have had volunteers from her rescue come get them and drive them to AZ. She takes in more than just Senegals in certain instances I'd say its definitely worth a try to see.
I really hope one of them can help you or at least point you in the direction of someone who could. Anna of Macaw and Cockatoo used to be a member here.I will call them today! I hadn’t reached out to either of those places because they are so incredibly far from me. But if they have some sort of long distance transport situation available, then maybe we could make it work!
