Parrots in Paradise Sanctuary

Find the right path

Surrender or adopt?

Whether you're looking to welcome a bird into your life, or facing the difficult decision to surrender one — we're here to help, without judgement.

Adopt a bird

Give a bird a forever home

Adopting a bird from our sanctuary means giving a rescued or rehomed parrot a second chance at a happy life. Every bird in our care has been assessed, health-checked, and matched with adopters who are the right fit for their personality and needs.

We don't just hand birds over — we take the time to get to know you, understand your lifestyle, and make sure the match is right for both of you. A good adoption is a lifelong commitment, and we're here to support you every step of the way.

We do charge adoption fees, we also ask for a commitment to provide appropriate housing, diet, enrichment, and veterinary care.

How adoption works

Get in touch

Send us an enquiry through our bookings page or contact form. Tell us about yourself, your home, and the kind of bird you're hoping to adopt.

We'll invite you to visit the sanctuary to meet our available birds. There's no rush — we want you to find the right connection.

03

Adoption assessment

We'll have a friendly chat about your experience with birds, your home setup, and how you plan to care for your new companion.

04

Welcome home

Once approved, we'll help you prepare for your bird's arrival and provide ongoing support as you settle in together.

Surrender a bird

We understand — and we're here

Life changes. Circumstances shift. Sometimes, despite our best intentions, we find ourselves unable to provide the care a bird needs. If you're in this situation, please know — you are not a bad person for reaching out.

Surrendering a bird to our sanctuary is an act of love. It means putting your bird's wellbeing first, even when it's hard. We will never judge you for making this decision.

We do our best to accept all surrenders, but we are a small sanctuary with limited capacity. Please contact us as early as possible so we can plan appropriately.

We ask that you are honest with us about your bird's history, health, and behaviour. This helps us give them the best possible care from day one.

How surrender works

01

Reach out

Contact us through our bookings page or by phone. Tell us about your bird — species, age, temperament, and why you need to surrender.

02

Initial assessment

We'll ask a few questions to understand your bird's needs and our current capacity. We'll always try to find a solution.

03

Arrange handover

We'll agree on a date and time for you to bring your bird to the sanctuary. Please bring any food, toys, or familiar items.

04

Ongoing updates

With your permission, we'll keep you updated on how your bird is settling in — and let you know when they find their forever home.

Not sure which path is right for you? We're happy to chat — no pressure, no judgement.
