INFORMATION ABOUT YOUR COOPERATION & INVOLVEMENT WITH COMPANION PARROTS RE-HOMED:

Are you willing to attend Other Companion Parrots Re-Homed educational seminars?

How do you feel about a virtual home visit from one of our representatives, prior to adoption? This allows us to work together to answer any questions you may have and point out potential hazards to help required for the adoption process.

Are you willing to pay an adoption fee? This is the only way that we can sustain our program services. See the last page for our standard fees. YesNo

It is very likely that even an adopted parrot will need another home in the future, as they live a long time and our lives often change unexpectedly. All parrots remain under the legal guardianship and protection of Companion Parrots Re-Homed, so if an adopted parrot needs a home after yours, you must contact Companion Parrots Re-Homed so that we can find the parrot’s next new home.
Do you understand and agree to this? YesNo

Include any other information you consider important for us to know, so that we can work together to help each parrot find the best new home:

Thank you! We look forward to working together to make a better life for a parrot-in-need.
