Many people think that people with birds MUST have money. While a little paranoid, I would be afraid someone would case my house thinking I was loaded. I want to see their homes, talk to their family, even talk to their vet. I am not sure I would feel comfortable going to a stranger's home to check them out. They are in almost every big city, or at least within an hour's drive.
Many clubs have adoption programs.
You can speak with the club member in charge of this program regarding placing your bird. Many clubs require that individuals who want to adopt be club members for at least 6 months. Some interview individuals and their families. This usually rules out the bad homes. This should not be a rush decision.
