Who We Are:
Our rescue is a not for profit family
owned rescue. My passion for bird have
been with me my whole life. I started
helping various birds over 8 years ago.
Since moving back to PA, we realized
their are many good birds needing a
loving home and good people wanting to
provide the home for a bird in need and
so our work continues. My husband has
worked around birds when he was
younger feeding and weening at a pet
store he worked for. As for myself, I
have owned birds since the age of 8. For
over 20 years I have cared for and
raised birds ranging from very small to
hand feeding, training, avian behavioral
problems and knowledge of illnesses
associated with avian health. I received
my certificate as a Certified Avian
Specialist this year (2008). We also
have 4 children, the three oldest help us
in our every day duties including
working with birds to be kid friendly.
WOULD YOU LIKE TO HELP TO?
We recently purchased a larger residents
to better serve our rescues coming in.
We would now like to start the plans to
build outdoor flight cages for our
permanent birds to enjoy the warm
weather during the day, which we found
to be far greater than those that can be
adopted out. Although all these years we
have ran our Rescue and Sanctuary from
our own out of pocket money, all
donations are greatly appreciated and
will be put into a separate funds account
to help us acquire our flight cages. To

no unwanted, neglected and abused birds in need of a good home. We will take
them in under any circumstance, no questions asked. We provide them with a safe
environment, the necessary food, cages, medical care, lighting and the love they
need and deserve and then we find them loving homes to be placed in. We address

dietary and/or behavioral problems before placing in a new home. We take in
special needs birds and they go through a rehabilitation period before adopting out
to a qualified home. We are trained to hand feed babies and problem eaters and
we do specialize in large birds who need proper socialization in order to minimize
the risk of injury. Our sanctuary provides a forever home for those who need that
extra special attention and care do to aggression or terminal illness or for those
birds on the verge of because of our love and experience of over 20 years has
given us such joy and all of these beautiful companions deserve a second chance.
This is my passion in life and will continue my work as long as I can and in time
will pass down this wonderful opportunity to my children so that they may
continue to help all these beautiful birds in need.
What makes us different from big rescues
Every rescue is unique in their own way and they all deserve recognition and
praise for the work they do. Just as we have our own views on how to operate
our rescue, they have their own and a lot of larger rescues believe that birds
should be quarantined away from everyday distractions, such as kids and pets in
order to work with them in a professional manner. What makes us different is
that all of our birds are kept in a home based, family atmosphere where they can
experience everyday life with adults and children and become familiar and
accustomed to activities, noise, and other pets. They are out of their cages all day
interacting with us and each other. Each bird gets individual playtime along with
group playtime if they so desire. We take in a limited number of birds to insure we
can provide each and everyone with enough time. We do not warehouse our birds
and they are not left in a store by themselves. They are not transferred from foster
home to foster home. They are in our care 24 hours a day, 7 days a week so that
we can monitor them for behavior, sleeping and eating patterns, this way we can
accurately pass this info on to a potential adopter. The only time we use a foster
home is if we have a emergency case that comes in and we do not have the room
or set-up and then it is for a short time until a space opens up.
About our adopters
Our rescues are adopted out to families who wish to own one as a pet and forever
family member. All wishing to adopt will go through a screening process and will
be charged a reasonable adoption fee to ensure that the bird will be going to
someone who can properly care for him/her. Our potential adopters must sign a
contract at time of adoption. Under no circumstance is a rescue to be used for
breeding, entertainment or re-selling purposes. All birds adopted out through Lair
Of Dragons Bird Rescue will be carefully monitored in their new homes and for
any reason we feel they are not getting the proper requirements needed, they must
be returned back here. We match all birds to the family and home most suitable
for his/her needs, this way we can minimize the most stressful situations a bird
may have to face. If he/she does not like children, he/she will be placed in a child
free home, if he/she prefers men over women, then placement will be with a male
and vice versa. We provide continual support and education to anyone adopting a
parrot from us and phone calls and email's are welcome 24 hours a day.
An adoption center does become very expensive (tanks, cages, toys, lights, food,
vet bills, grooming, medication, etc. etc.). As we do not require a application or
drop off fee as most rescues do, all donations including any bird related items or
monetary are greatly appreciated. At this time our biggest need is bird food and
large parrot toys do to the amount of parrots being relinquished. It is the
responsibility of the pet owner to drop the bird off and preferably their cage to be
adopted out in or ship to our location. Only in the severest cases can arrangements
be made for pick-ups. Serving PA, MD and surrounding areas.
