Updated list of available birds for adoption! Descriptions attached to individual pictures in adoptable folder.

First step if interested is filling out our adoption questionnaire here: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/10Y8LhRxb3dQo-LYlBQg8zFr2vBDczPkQ2GMRcJo9dqU/edit

Even if you’ve filled it out before, we are starting fresh with these birds so please fill it out again. Keep in mind that I am a single person with a full time job and a busy family on top of rescue so it can take anywhere from 1 week to a month to review applications. if, key word “IF”, you are approved you will here from me for step two which is a walk through video of your home and setup. Step three is meet and greet. If you are not approved you will not hear back from us. If there is a question I have on your application or something I feel we could work on, I will hold your application until we can square away the issue.

Thankful for you all!

We appreciate your interest in adopting an exotic bird from EMBR. Exotic birds are not considered to be domesticated animals and require different care than dogs, cats, rabbits, or rodents. Because caring for an exotic bird is a serious responsibility and can be more of a challenge than with a cat o...

Please remember that if you are interested in adopting you must fill out the adoption questionnaire pinned to the top of the page and put your bird of interest in the interested bird line. We are a very busy rescue and do not have time to go through all the individual comments on pictures of birds. First step is filling out the Google form adoption questionnaire pinned to the top of our page. If we like what we see on there we will contact your for step two which is a walk through video of your house and cage if you have one (not looking for perfectly clean, I want to see laundry that needs folded, etc, but am looking to see that you’re not a hoarder and can take care of yourself). Then step three would be a meet and greet with the bird you are interested in along with one or two others to see who fits you best. Fourth and final would be coming back for adoption 😁
Once you fill out that questionnaire if we like what we see we will contact you for step two. If there is an issue with your application or we do not feel comfortable adopting out to you at this time, you will not hear back from us. This is nothing personal but just a way to streamline the process as I am a single person running this operation with the help of my children. Blessings to you all, we appreciate your support!

This is the normal everyday look into an in home bird rescue…clean one thing and something else is dirty 😂😂😂 We clean all cages twice a week, sweep and mop floors daily, feed and water fresh daily, and rotate days out with all the birds to play. The next day after cleaning cages sometimes you wouldn’t even know, ha! Who knew birds could be messy and like to rip up their cages 🤦🏻
We have a handful of birds available for adoption: Romeo the lovebird, two cockatiels, 12 parakeets, Angelo the Goffin Cockatoo, Tweety the Indian Ringneck, Sid the African Gray, Gracie the African gray, and Kiki the Greater Sulphur Crested Cockatoo. Interested in adopting? Fill out the questionnaire at the top of our page. IF we like what we see there you will hear back from us to go to step two.

When one of your previous youth group students/friend is always manipulating photos and being super creative with his talent, you receive this to brighten up your day. Thank you, Todd! 😂😂😂

We try to let all the birds take turns having free time outside of their cages everyday. Here’s this afternoon’s adventure with 4 macaws and two African Grays out.
Notice anything in this picture from previous pictures? That’s right, no more budgies! Most of the budgies went to their new home last week to a zoo that offered separated s*x aviaries, 24 hour veterinary care, quality pellet/seed based diets, room to roam! Some were individually adopted out to families as well and we also still have about 30 (beak issues, toe deformities, etc). We weighed the options and truly felt that from where these birds came from and the lack of human interaction, the zoo setting was a beneficial idea.
We can’t thank you all enough for your support of taking in these budgies and providing them with a better life and a brighter future!
Blessings,
Brad

When you have a family from your church come and volunteer a night of cleaning… everything gets dusted, wiped down, mopped, and all cages cleaned! So thankful for Jennifer Sherlund and family! We all stayed so busy I didn’t take a single picture 🤦🏻

Here’s a fun game to play with us! Guess how many budgies are in this cage? Don’t actually count, just visually guess. This shows how, in my opinion, it is easy to not understand how many birds there really are.

Today we are separating the rest of the budgies into appropriate cages as they get to start going home. Keep in mind this IS NOT a permanent cage for these gals. This is just a transport cage to move them from their large fully furnished cage into another large fully furnished cage 6ft away.

Approved applications were responded to by email 😁

Tonight’s update for you all! (This is even with being sick…I worked my pastoral role from the couch and cleaned throughout the day to not overdo myself)

Budgies are able to start going home on Thursday.

Please continue to have patience with us if you filled out an application as I do all of that alone so on top of caring for birds every day, going to my normal job every day, and being a dad and husband it’s a slow process.
Applications that we do approve, you will hear from us eventually (when we get the time or the right bird comes in).
Applications that we do not approve of will not hear back.
Applications that we may need to look further into take longer to process.
Also, just because we may have a mutual friend does not guarantee your approval. We honestly and intently look into every single case for the protection and safety of the bird. It is nothing personal. my own mother in law filled out a form and application.

Applications are pinned to the top of the page. Fill out the Google form and submit it. That is the first step in the adoption process.
