What is the Exotic Wings Second Chance Program?
Every bird deserves a second chance, and here at Exotic Wings, we make sure that each bird finds the perfect home. If you are interested in adopting a Second Chance bird, or would like to rehome yours, read the details below!
Why are birds rehomed?
- Birds facing neglect.
- Major changes to home life and environment (baby, partner, etc.)
- No longer being able to provide the proper time & attention the bird requires.
- Moving out of country.
- Deteriorating health of the bird's owner.
- Noise level of the bird is creating issues.
- New or worsening allergies to the bird.
- Behavioural issues / not a good fit for the household.
How to adopt a Second Chance Bird?
There are many ways to stay up-to-date on our current Second Chance Birds. We always post on our Second Chance Facebook Page and our other social media.
Second Chance or "Rehome" birds are not free birds and do come with an adoption fee which depends on the bird species and condition - veterinary work, behavior and educational needs.
If you are considering our Second Chance Program, please do not hesitate to call us and we will answer any questions or concerns you may have.
Exotic Wings is a judgement free establishment.
A rehome bird does not always mean an old bird - life can change for families with birds of any age.
We have adopted out birds as young as 6 months and older than 30 years! If you are considering a rehome bird but unsure if that's the right choice for you feel free to contact us with your questions and concerns - we'd be happy to assist you in making the best choice possible!
Rehome birds will each have a unique adoption fee. The fee is determined by a number of factors including, the species of bird, any possible necessary veterinary work, training required, etc...
We reserve the right to refuse placement of a rehome bird.
Any second chance bird(s) that are currently available will be listed below.
Please contact us for further details or to start the process for adopting a rehome bird which interests you.
How to rehome:
When rehoming a bird, we require a few things from you, the current owner.
- A vet check within a year of rehoming.
- Disease testing by case (please call us for specifics).
- A write-up with all information required to provide continuity of care moving forward.
- Paperwork to be filled out before bird drop off.
