Living with a bird in your home requires a serious commitment and responsibility. Arizona Exotic Bird Rescue, Inc., policy is to insure that each person adopting a bird can provide suitable housing, is morally and financially capable of providing for the bird, and is educated in proper care and nutrition for the bird.  You must 21 years of age to adopt. 

  A charge of $25.00 to cover our travel expenses for your pre-adoption home study must be made.  If you live over 25 miles from our location the travel charge will increase accordingly.  Payment of travel charge in no way guarantees adoption approval.

Our adoption application is designed to provide Arizona Exotic Bird Rescue, Inc., with the information necessary to begin an adoption approval process. Please select one of the Adoption Application Options below to complete your application.

Please feel free to contact us if you have any questions.

Note: At this time, there is a growing list of applicants and it may be 2–4 weeks before our volunteers are able to schedule interviews and home visits. Please be patient.
