ADOPTION FEES: These fees are based on a variety of factors including retail
value,temperament, vet fees incurred, health, age, and condition of reptile or
bird. Adoption fees go toward operating expenses. It is very costly to care for
these birds on a daily basis and the adoption fees help cover food, vet bills, due
to health and medical problems and will require constant medical care. We keep
affordable to good homes. We also reserve the right to lower or waive adoption
fees at our discretion if it helps place birds in the best homes. Adoption fees will
be discussed after we review and verify your application information. NOTE:
Adoption fees and Donations are NON-REFUNDABLE!
Please keep in mind, we do not buy, sell, trade or breed any of our rescued
birds or reptiles. We do not use birds in our care for commerce or profit. There
is times when we will pay for a bird that we find to be in horrific living
conditions, being abused or simply not bing properly cared for just to get them
out of their current situation and we adopt out for no more than we paid to
rescue him/her and other general fees that we may have incurred and in many
cases less than we paid to provide proper care. But please do not contact me
asking to buy your bird because you need the money or just need to sell
him/her, as this is not what we do here. We are here to help those who truly
need our help.
Age Requirements - You must be 25 yrs. old to adopt a bird
We only provide adoptions to experienced bird keepers or those whom have
done extensive research and reserve the right to refuse adoption to anyone at
our discretion.
We do not place birds with people who breed or are considering breeding. If
will have you relinquish the adopted parrot back to our rescue. This same rule
applies for anyone whom starts collecting to many parrots. We choose our
home based on the time and attention you can devote to one of our rescues and
adding to many parrots or animals to a family can have devastating affects.
You must provide us with your info on your exotic or avian vet prior to
adoption. If you do not have one, we will assist you in finding one in your area
that specializes in exotic and/or avian medicine.
While we accept scheduled bird drop-offs from anywhere, we will make free
local pick-ups within a reasonable distance whenever possible.
PLEASE NOTE: Do to the size and loudness of some larger birds such as
macaws and cockatoos, you must live in a single family house and preferably
own your own home. These birds do not do well in apartments, condos, etc.
Reason being is if you move, many landlords will not allow a bird of this size
and neighbors many times complain of the noise. We do this to protect the birds
from having to come back here.
Lair Of Dragons is a private not for profit organization with limited space and
resources. We will not allow our rescue to become overcrowded to the point
that animals become neglected, and must turn away birds and reptiles in some
cases. We are a no-kill rescue center.
If you have a bird needing a new home or can not care for it please contact us
before dropping one off at a pet store where they will not get a proper
evaluation before being sold and never let a bird go free outside, as they can not
survive. Please keep in mind, once a bird is placed with us, he/she becomes the
sole property of Lair Of Dragons Bird Rescue. Please contact me through email
or via phone (717)431-8599 to make arrangements. We are located in
Lancaster County, Pennsylvania.
Important Info: When a bird is ready for adoption, we will review all
applications on file and pick out a few that we feel the parrot will be most
comfortable with. We will then contact you and inform you of the parrot
available for adoption and you have the option to come meet him/her. We can
only hold a bird for 5 days after we initially contact you to set up a meeting
before we must contact another potential adopter. Reason being is that we
have had many people interested in adopting but has not been able to make it
out here for several weeks and then just prior to the meeting changed their
mind. This is not fair to the bird whom could have been placed with a new
forever family or to the birds whom are on a waiting list needing to come in here
because of the situations they are in.
Any parrot or reptile adopted out by Lair Of Dragons Bird Rescue can not be
sold, used for breeding purposes, entertainment /educational events or given
away, this includes passing the parrot along to family and friends without our
knowledge. Our rescues will only go to qualified homes that are wanting a
family pet. If for some circumstance you can not keep the bird or reptile, he/she
must be returned back to Lair Of Dragons Bird Rescue. Please keep in mind,
we have the right to check up on the bird or reptile in your home at anytime to
make sure it is being properly cared for and still in the possession of the adopter.
If the bird or reptile is not in your possession, you will be fined. A signed
contract must be completed at time of pick-up of your new companion and the
adoption fee must be paid in full. You must bring along a appropriate size
carrier to take your new parrot home in. Many parrots relinquished do not have
their own cage, so be prepared to supply an appropriate size cage, toys and
perches for your new companion.
Please be advised that parrots are wild animals and can bite and cause serious
injury. Lair Of Dragons Bird Rescue is not responsible for injury caused by any
parrot in our care during your visit here or after adoption. Please use caution
when interacting with parrots here at the rescue. Refrain children from touching
or poking their fingers in cages or at parrots who may be out of their cage.
It is very costly to care for the rescues in need, we provide proper setup, lights,
emergency medical care when needed, toys galore which we go through on a
daily basis and food which consist of fresh vegetables, fruits, parrot mix, nuts,
etc. daily. Although we do not require a application processing fee, nor do we
charge to drop off a relinquished animal, any donations are greatly
appreciated, as we run this rescue with our own out of pocket money. We
except all forms of donations, including cages, lights, food, or any bird related
item. We are a not for profit rescue and 100% of donations go towards the care
of the birds we tend to and adopt out. All monetary donations can be made
through paypal. Please let us know who you are and what you are donating.

READ HERE IF YOU NEED TO
RELINQUISHING PARROT OR
REPTILE INTO OUR
CUSTODY.
We are not here to judge, only to help
mske th process easier. We thrive to
make the transition easy and stress
free. Our home is always open for you
to come and visit first so that you may
get to see how they play and interact
with us on a daily basis. We do ask a
few favors of you when relinquishing a
parrot or reptile to us.
1.) We do require you to fill out a
relinquishment questionnaire that
serves us to better know your pet and
his likes and dislikes, behavior, habits,
etc or email us us a complete list if info
on the parrot.
2.) We do ask that if possible you also
bring his/her cage or habitat as this
makes their transition easier and less
stressful. (remember that parrots
especially, get very attached to their
own cage and this makes them feel safe
when coming to us.)
3.) We also ask that you bring along
their favorite toys and food so that we
can gradually wean them off of your
brand onto ours, if needed.
4.) Please bring along any
documentation of medical records and
vet visits that they may have had in the
past.
5.) Please be honest about all behavior
and medical problems so that we may
better work with them to overcome
obstacles. Although we do not charge a
fee for you to drop off a parrot or
reptile, all donations are greatly
appreciated and help in our fight to save
more lives every day. Donations can be
in any form such as new toys, cages,
food, treats, fruits and vegetables and
of course monetary donations to help
with cost of daily requirements that
these special pets need. We have
several parrots that show up here
without cages or toys, so if you have an
extra laying around it would be a great
help to use for those less fortunate and
makes our adoption process much
easier when we have a cage to provide
along with the adopted pet.
6.) When a parrot is brought to us it
becomes the property of Lair Of
Dragons Bird Rescue and we are now
the legal owners and have the right to
choose a new family at our discretion.

Many times adoption fees are much less than those those quoted below and will depend on many factors such as health, behavior, age and temperament. Again adoption fees are necessary to help us cover a portion of the cost to care for these special parrots. We spend 75% of our own out of pocket to support their needs and make sure they are properly cared for. Cockatiels, Lovebirds- $25.00-$40.00 Parrotlets and specialty parakeets- $70.00$80-00 Conures, Pionus, Ring necks Senegal's- $125-200.00 Amazons- $250-$325.00 Eclectus, Mini Macaws Small/Medium Cockatoos, African Greys and Caiques- $300.00-$400.00 Large Cockatoos and Macaws- $350.00-$500.00 Adoption fees may change without notice. Species not listed such as specialty and rare species and babies that we may have the privilege of taken in will have different adoption fees and will be discussed. |
