At Parrots First, parrot adoption, care education and rescue are not a few of the things we do; they are the ONLY things we do. Support your local organization that achieves results!

"Baby", blue and gold macaw and international super model parrot, passed away on September 16th. Baby was wild caught and we believed her to be over 30 years old. Baby is survived by her mate, Costa, a Greenwing macaw, and the Levine family.

We at Parrots First are very proud and pleased to be able to offer articles by Susan G Friedman PhD, for your enjoyment and and learning. Her approach to behavior will help you with the daily challenges that all parrot lovers face. We highly recommend that you take Dr. Friedman's online course on behavior. Since we began using the techniques we
learned from Dr. Friedman our birds have learned many new skills, and our understanding of the birds' behaviors has grown exponentially.

Here is a bio about Dr. Friedman and the class she teaches online.

You can sign up for Dr. Friedman's Living and Learning With Parrots class at www.behaviorworks.org

I have included a link to Dr. Friedman's articles that are here on our website HERE.

Happy reading - I hope you learn as much as we did from Dr. Friedman.

We are also in the process of setting up a seminar with Dr. Friedman for sometime in the near future. Stay tuned
for registration and date & time details.

For a list of adoption donation amounts, click HERE.

There is a large list of wonderful parrots waiting to enter our adoption program.  Remember, we turn away at least 30 birds each month due to lack of foster and adoptive homes.  Please consider fostering a bird or making your second (or third) bird a "rescue" bird. 

If you are interested in adopting any of these fine birds, or providing foster care, click HERE.  The list of birds often changes more often than we can update the website.  Please phone us at (866) 248-7670 ext. 5937 for the latest list.

If you no longer feel you can properly care for your bird and are considering giving him/her up to Parrots First for placement, please contact us first to discuss possible solutions and review your options. If you decide to surrender your bird for placement in a new situation, please fill out an Acquisition Form in its entirety if at all possible.  The information you provide will help us to determine the needs of the bird and the most suitable environment for its future. You will be required to sign a legal copy of this form at the time of surrender.

To get an Acquisition Form please email adoptions@parrotsfirst.org with Acquisition Form in the subject line and we will email one back to you or leave us a message on our voice mail with your fax number and we'll fax one to you.  If you need to receive one via US Mail, please send us a stamped self-addressed envelope (first class) and we'll get one right out to you. You can also click HERE for a form in MS Word format.
