Adoption Procedures

Thank you for choosing to adopt first!!

Before you adopt a parrot from Connecticut Parrot Rescue, make sure you know what you're getting into...

Parrots have a VERY long lifespan. When deciding if a parrot is the right companion for you, consider whether you can realistically care for a bird for the next 20+ years!

We cannot guarantee that the bird you are interested in will be interested in you. Parrots choose who they like/dislike. You don’t pick the bird; the bird picks you. We do not adopt birds out as a gift to another person or as a companion to children.

A minimum of 2 visits are required for most birds to ensure an optimal match as well as one visit with the parrot and a CTPR representative in your home.

We will NOT adopt birds to homes that already have a bird of the same breed but a different gender.

We do allow some out of state adoptions, but not more than 2 hours away from Connecticut Parrot Rescue - please check with us first, additional travel fees may apply.

Submitting an application does not guarantee you will be able to adopt one of our parrots. Adoptions are approved at the sole discretion of Connecticut Parrot Rescue and its appointed representatives.

We require vet records for all birds currently in your home before you will be allowed to meet any of our birds. Purchase a disease and/or gender kit here.

By submitting an application, you agree to CTPR's procedures and practices.
