We encourage you to keep an open mind when coming to meet the birds. You may have a specific bird in mind when you come visit but once you come and meet all the birds you may find that you and another bird have a very strong connection.
The birds get to help choose their new family.
The adoption application must be completely filled out and reviewed by the adoption committee prior to scheduling a visit.
We will require more than one visit to spend time with the birds, we also consider this education time.
A home visit is required prior to a bird being placed in a home. The home visit is solely to ensure safety in the new home. We aren't coming to judge only assist in making sure there are no safety issues.
We highly encourage foster to adopt once you have matched with a bird to allow everyone time to get comfortable.

Required Information
We need to know species, age, health history, and diet before we consider taking in a bird. Sometimes we have room for one type of bird but not another. Sometimes we try to coordinate or find placements in another rescue/sanctuary. We DO have a wait list for surrenders. Emergency placements are considered on a case by case basis.
Paperwork & Fees
If your bird is surrendered to Soft Landings we will send you a Surrender Form and Parrot History Form.
We are a home based rescue that relies upon donations from our supporters. At this time we do not have a required surrender fee, but we do incur costs of at least $150.00 immediately upon surrender as all new birds to our rescue are seen by a vet. We would appreciate a donation to help cover those costs.
