Top Ten Things NOT to Say to a Rescuer


  1. I want a Baretta bird.
    Go to www.mytoos.com and then we’ll talk.
  2. I want a green parrot that talks.
    Be more specific, there are a multitude of green parrots that can talk in various sizes, which affects cage size, exercise area, food requirements etc.
    For more info go to: www.pet-parrots.com
  3. Oh, I’ll take anything.
    That tells me that you have not done your homework. As a bird owner, you are responsible for the quality of life and care of the bird. Different species of birds have specific requirements and needs. A birds is dependent upon you to thrive. Finding a good fit between a bird and its owner is paramount in making a decision!
  4. I’ll take all you have.
    At times we have over a hundred parrots to adopt--I think NOT! Hoarding is not only un-healthy, it detracts from the birds quality of life and the time you have available to give emotional nourishment and exercise to the bird.
  5. What’s to know, they eat seed don’t they?
    OOPs, wrong answer. NO!!!
    For more info go to: www.pet-parrots.com
  6. Do I need a cage?
    YES, and different birds have different cage requirements.
    For more info go to: www.pet-parrots.com
  7. I know all about birds, my grandfather raised finches.
    Then adopting a Finch is a nice start….
  8. If it’s free, it’s for me.
    Owning and properly caring for a bird requires major commitment, dedication, and the available resources to properly care for the bird. Can you meet those emotional, dietary, time, “financial,” and living and play space requirements?
  9. I want a white bird because they’re so cute and cuddly.
    Back to the drawing board - check out www.mytoos.com
  10. I want a pink bird to match my kitchen.
    What happens when you change your kitchen……? Nope, color dyeing a bird is NOT an option…..
