Additionally, all other exotic birds are required to have a band or microchip and have a hobby permit from the State of New Jersey, Division of Fish and Wildlife. There are a few other exempt birds that we do not take in and offer for adoption. Exempt birds are budgies, cockatiels, canaries, zebra finches, rock pigeons and society finches. You will need to file for a hobby permit during the first 20 days you have the bird. We must file a copy of this temporary hobby permit each year with the Division of Fish and Wildlife. We will issue you a 20 day temporary permit at the time of adoption. All exotic birds that are not exempt in New Jersey must have a hobby permit filed with the state. All of our birds are disease tested for Psitticosis (Chlamydia psitacia) and PBFD and the adopter will be provided these test results.įor The Love of Birds holds a permit for the care and sale of exotic animals from the State of New Jersey, Division of Fish and Wildlife.

We will also not adopt large or loud birds to apartments, townhomes, condo dwellers or rowhouses - no exceptions.Īdoption fees are listed below.
We do not support breeding mistakes happen and increased hormone levels in the birds can result in negative behaviors, as well as can impact their health. We will NOT adopt birds to homes that already have a bird of the same breed but a different gender. Please don't short change your bird by bringing another flock member in too soon. Each bird requires a transition period to be comfortable with their new family and in their new home. Please be aware that we require a waiting period of at least 6 months if you have brought new pets recently into your home with bringing any more new pets into your home.
And finally, it allows the foster home to watch how you interact with the bird and they can pass along information on the bird and educate the potential adopter on bird husbandry as needed.Many birds are hesitant with new people during their first visit meeting with them. Second it gives the bird several opportunities to meet with you and get used to you.This provides the potential adopter with time to consider whether the bird is a good match with their family & lifestyle and gives you time to get your house ready for the bird to move in.For medium to large parrots we do require at least three visits before adopting. For small birds like finches and parakeets we do allow adoptions after one visit. After an application is approved we will recommend a bird(s) for you to meet or you can let us you are interested in one of our available birds.Īs we do not ship our birds we do require potential adopters live within easy driving distance to the bird’s foster home (foster home locations are listed in each bird’s biography). We will not adopt to anyone under 21, to households with smokers (cigarettes, vape, etc) nor do we adopt birds as gifts or surprises. Please note that home inspections/videos are required. After successful contact with your personal and veterinary references we schedule a phone call with each potential adopter. Be sure to include two (non relative) personal references and veterinary references for pets you currently have or have had in the past all current pets in your home must be up to date with vaccines and bird must be disease tested. The first step in the adoption process is the completion and submission of the Adoption Application. If an adoptable bird is participating in our Help with Rehoming program the bird’s current family has final say on who can adopt that specific bird. As our adoptable birds are living in our volunteer’s homes, we only allow approved applicants to meet our birds. For the Love of Birds is a group of dedicated foster homes in the New Jersey and Philadelphia area, we do not have a central location.
