Parrot Hope Rescue will not refuse any surrender, holding the belief that every bird is adoptable.

We ask you to provide as much information about the bird being surrendered as you possibly can. The more we know about your bird's personality, likes, dislikes, routines, schedules or even habits, the better chance your bird has at finding the perfect fit for their new home. We may ask specific questions about your bird including the reason for surrendering. 

We request a signed veterinary record release to Parrot Hope Rescue and/or the veterinarian of their choice. This authorization will be irrevocable and will not expire. 

The owner will request and authorize all veterinarians who may have provided the bird veterinary services of any kind, including but not limited to, Vaccination Records, Laboratory Reports, Exam Reports, Surgery Reports, Pathology/Biopsy Reports, Radiology/X-Ray Reports, to release any and all requested information for the bird(s) being surrendered.

We do have a few requirements you must agree upon with every surrendered bird to Parrot Hope Rescue. These include, but are not limited to:

• I am no longer able to keep or am no longer interested in keeping the bird as described.
• I know of no other person who has any claim to this bird.
• I hereby relinquish (in favor of PHR) all rights, title, and interest to and in the bird along with any cage(s), toys, or other items surrendered with the bird. This grant is immediate and absolute.
• It is understood I am not entitled to any portion of fees or any other donation of PHR's.
• It is understood the purpose of this surrender/donation is that PHR provide for the physical and psychological requirements of the bird, and I am not permitted to question or interfere with PHR's care, treatment, or placement of the bird.
• It is understood there will be no visiting unless agreed upon and approved in writing and signed by at least 3 or more of the Co-directors of PHR.
