Captive Bird Rescue & Placement Organizations by U.S.A. State or Country
All of the organizations listed below have resolved to adopt policies that will slow the growing displaced captive parrot and overpopulation problem by not breeding birds or adopting birds into breeding situations. Avian Welfare Coalition (AWC) participating organizations are indicated with an asterisk.
Note: While we support the wide variety of ways that may facilitate the identification of quality, non-breeding homes for displaced birds, the AWC does not know or endorse the organizations or web sites listed below. Please research your adoption or surrender options carefully. We wish the best of luck in your bird adoption or placement search!
