Our Adoption Policy:

• We do not adopt birds out as gifts for another person.
• You must be at least 18 years of age to adopt.
• We do not place birds in breeding situations or adopt to breeders.
• If you live in a condo or apartment we require a signed letter from the landlord stating that a bird is allowed.
• We do not allow any birds that have come under our care at any time to ever be sold, traded, given away, bred or used for any monetary purpose throughout their lifetime.  In order to adopt a bird from A Helping Wing you must agree to return the bird to us, at no cost, if you can not keep the bird for any reason.
• We reserve the right to withdraw from the adoption process at any time with any applicant.
  

The most important part of our adoption process is that you must spend TIME with the bird to make sure it is a good fit for both of you.  We require you to visit the bird on numerous occasions so that you can get a sense of the bird on good days and bad days.  During these visits, you will interact with the bird, transport the bird and move the bird in and out of its cage.

All of our birds are vet checked to ensure that you're adopting a healthy bird.  We do suggest that you bring your new bird to the vet within the first two weeks of adopting him/her.  If you do not have an avian certified vet please let us know and we'll be happy to help you find one in your area. A number of local veterinarians are listed in the link to the right.
