Considering another bird?? Adopt?

[kevin2]

I've had 2 birds. Parrokeet & Amazon. Haven't had a bird in 25 years.

I'm considering buying a new bird, maybe a Gray OR a Quaker. Looking for a breeder locally.

ON the other hand...my daughters best friend is a vet in training, and she's adopted a few animals over the years AND suggested we do the same on several occasions & I'm now considering that as well. Giving a bird a permanent home that is stable would be a good thing.

I've been reading for a good long time now about it, and I need some more information and interaction with others that have adopted before I can go to the next step.

There are a few centers not to awful far from me here in the Metro Detroit area, so that won't be a problem. But, I'm open to other ideas as well.

What should I look at next. I'm thinking that contacting the agencies would be my next step after I hear advise from several of you on what has worked OR not worked for you all.

THanks for any input and help.

Kevin

The rescue I use has a few grays and a couple of Quakers, but unfortunately, she has quarantined her rescue for 3 months because someone brought in a sick bird and she won't take in or let out any more until she's sure. She's located in Milan, MI, but she has a couple of foster homes as well. I got my Macaw from her, but he was being fostered in Eaton Rapids. Feathered Friends of Michigan

I'm in the metro-Detroit area, although much north. There are quite a few opportunities to adopt rehomes/rescues. It's a wonderful thing, so many wonderful birds that desperately need a home. One huge upside is, if you get a bird that's a little older you wont have to go thru the "terrible two's". The personality has been established, adolescence is over. PM me if you need the names of a few places.

I would also recommend adoption. It is the best feeling in the world. All of my big birds were rehomes or rescues and I have never regretted it for a minute!
