With our years of animal care experience, continuing education in avian behavior and care, and maintaining close contacts with people who are experts in the different avian fields, we can address many problems that arise, or have a source we can contact immediately. Unless there are extenuating circumstances, we will be their last home. We realize that those who invest in a bird have probably spent a lot of money to purchase the bird, adequate housing, and accessories. The initial desire for some of these people is to get back a return on that investment. Before you place that advertisement, please consider this.
Birds require a great deal of time, patience and understanding.
They are extremely intelligent beings, who without attention and social interaction, can and often do develop psychological problems such as feather plucking and self mutilation. Once these behaviors have started they can not always be reversed. Space is not only provided in our home, but in our hearts. Sometimes the problems are actually health related, so you should see a good avian veterinarian before making any decisions. For many reasons why people give up their birds, and different options for solving these problems if you re willing to work at it, the Providence House Website has a wonderful page.
