| Rehoming Your Bird with the PRC |
| |
|
 The
most common reasons for pet parrots losing their homes are: |
|
- Behavioural issues- such as biting, aggression, noise, feather
picking and self mutilation.
- Health and Medical costs and owner stress.
- Owner’s life style change- moving, financial hardship,
illness, death.
- Owners feel it is in the Birds best interest to be with other
birds in a flock environment.
- Transferred from other rescue and sanctuary facilities.
- Lost and unclaimed
- Rescue due to abandonment, cruelty, danger
|
Buzz -Longbilled Corellas are generally placed with the PRC because
of aggression and noise |

| The Parrot Rescue Centre
does not provide the “resale” of parrots we are designed
exclusively to cater for parrots with legitimate rehoming needs. |
| At the PRC we only house Large Parrots that are unsuitable for rehoming. This includes birds that are very aggressive towards humans, very noisey, self mutilators, feather pluckers, have disabilities and parrots that have very neurotic beahaviours. All other parrots that do not show any of these behaviours are put through the PRC rehoming process. |
We place all surrendered parrots in a safe and caring environment with dedicated carers who understand the needs and requirements of parrots.
The Parrot Rescue Centre has created a strict set of criteria and application standards for New Adoptee's to help care for the Birds best interests.
|
| The process for rehoming your parrot
through the PRC is outlined in the stages below. |
| |
|
Stage 1: Critical
Evaluation & Reflection... |
- Before you make a final decision to re home your parrot it is advised that you sit down with your family or other members of your household and critically reflect on the decision to relinquish your parrot. Make a list of the reasons why you feel you can no longer keep your parrot and assure you’re self that you are in the process of making a decision that is truly in the best interests of the bird. After reflection you may feel that the issues you are facing primarily revolve around the behaviour of the parrot. In such circumstances we advise that you consider `Stage 2’ of our process and let’s see if we can help you work through issues and concerns that may be contributing to your interest in surrendering. In cases where a change of living circumstances, health concerns or an incapacity to care for your parrot are evident then you can proceed to `Stage 3’.

Stage 2: Support
Access |
- After you have reflected on your situation you may feel it is
worth one last effort to work through behaviour and/or care issues
you have with your parrot and that is what the Parrot Rescue Centre
Behavioural Consultants and Educational Workshops and recourses
are there for. We have resources in place right here on our website
that will help you work through your situation. We have a number
of behaviour & care consultants who may be able to come to
you for an in-home consultation or arrange a phone consultation
to address specific areas of support you require. These are generally
fee paying services but it should be considered a minimal investment
in seeking potential long-term solutions. Access our behaviour
and care consultant listing by clicking

- If you feel that you would like to continue with the placement
process then proceed to Stage 3.
