CONNECTIONS FOR PEOPLE & PARROTS

The Parrot Caretaker Network is a supportive community focused on the short- and long-term welfare of companion parrots. Our primary mission is to facilitate parrot caretaker succession plans. In addition we help connect people and parrots with temporary and non-emergency care.

Community
Connect with other caretakers and their parrots. Find people to help with short term caretaking needs or foster care. Share your experiences with rehoming and establishing caretaker succession relationships. The platform is set up to accommodate profiles for each individual person and for each cockatoo, and we strongly encourage adding a caretaker history to each bird's bio. We also have profiles for organizations: sanctuaries, rescues, avian veterinary service providers, etc. Your information is never viewable to the public or anyone outside the network.
Resources
We are assembling a rich library of resources, including sample Succession Agreements, Foster Care Agreements, and temporary Boarding Agreements. We will use the experience of the community to build a guide for vetting prospective caretakers, and suggestions for maintaining long term relationships. We do not offer legal advice, but we encourage people sharing their understanding and experience with legal considerations regarding birds.
Relationships
Establish a succession plan for your parrot to help insure the long-term well being of your bird or become a successor to a parrot. The succession relationship is long-term, to be cultivated over time so that parrots do not find themselves in emergency rehoming situations, in the care of rescues,* or in other situations with strangers. *We have enormous respect for rescues, but we believe that enabling birds to go straight into new pre-approved homes is ideal.
