Not every bird will fit into your lifestyle. Our adoption counselors will ask you many questions to determine which bird will do well in your home and which will not. This way we can be sure to set everyone up for success … and love for its lifetime!
All adoptions include:
– Bird and all behavior/lifestyle information from previous owner and foster home
– Suitable cage in good condition
– 1 pound of food
– Comfort items
– Vet care if indicated
– Lifetime support
– Calgary adopters get a 1 year membership to the Calgary Parrot Club
– All adopters get a 1 year membership to Friends of Greta’s Roost
Adoption Process:
- Adoption Application, which includes:
- Information about the bird you may be interested in adopting.
- Questions about your past pet experiences and expectations for caring for any parrot.
- Approval to have the type of pet you are interested in adopting from landlord or rental agencies if you rent or lease your home, condo or apartment. This includes HOA approvals as well.
- Communication via email after your application has been reviewed to determine whether the bird you have applied for is a suitable fit
- Photos of your home, cage set-ups, and current animal spaces
- A phone interview with a representative of Greta’s Roost
- A virtual or in-person home visit to assist/ensure that your home is indeed set up to bring a bird home.
- Please note that birds are in foster homes across Southern Alberta and you must be willing to drive to the foster home location to meet the bird and complete adoption.
- We do not ship parrots. In-person meets are required.
- If you are in Northern Alberta looking to adopt an avian friend, we suggest you apply with Meika’s Safehouse.
