We take in parrot surrenders on a case-by-case basis based on need, space requirements, and foster home availability.
Greta’s Roost runs exclusively on a network of foster homes in Southern Alberta. Each foster home has specific requirements and needs for taking in any surrendered birds. We do not intake non-parrot species of birds (finches, doves, etc.).
Surrendering a parrot is a very tough decision and should not be taken lightly. Visit our Resources page for training tips and behavior links.
If you are considering surrender, please know that we require all the supplies that the bird currently has, including cage, food, vet records, toys, etc. You will be responsible for transporting the bird to our approved foster home or an intake home location, which could be in Calgary or Lethbridge.
Please fill out the contact us form below to request surrender. This is only a request for surrender, not a guarantee that we will be able to take your bird.
