Michigan.. Birds need good home

[Stepup2]

I am leaving for grad school in August and I can not take my birds with me. I have been dreading this. I am looking for stable and loving homes for my Timneh and Blue Crown Conures.

IM me if you are interested in learning more.

My birds are healthy and happy.

1. I'll be interested in your Timneh.

If hes still available!

2. Hi

I found a fantastic home for my Timneh. Thanks for offering!

This makes it easier to let her go. I got her when she was 4 months old and she would snuggle in my shirt after eating. She has grown into an independent and outgoing bird.

Maybe it would help re finding them homes, if I posted pics of my BCC's in cat suits in this forum... :silly:

3. Go to YahooGroups.com.

You will have to register with them. Put in a search for pet or bird rescue groups in your area. I don't think you will have a problem finding homes for your birds.

4. Thanks for the info

I have called 2 rescue groups in MI and have not had any response. A group I did call asked for a large sum of $$.

I would appreciate any specific info you might have.

6. Hm...

You are too far from here, but I'd try anyway... Pittsburgh Parrot Rescue.

8. I went to YahooGroups and did a search for bird rescue

and 105 bird rescue groups came up. I am sure that you should people willing to take your birds.

9. Thanks!!

I will check it out. I am not willing to fly the birds so these organizations/homes so I have focused only on those in a 3 hour radius from where I live which narrowed the options.

I am hoping to find good homes by networking myself. I want some assurance of where they were homed. Not that rescues don't have standards of placement, but as long as I have the time I'd prefer to act as the placing party if you will.

I love these birds, care for them in a very responsible way and planning to identify a similar environment for them.

I took responsibility for them when I got them and don't plan to shirk it now.

I appreciate the information you have provided!
