Seymour Bird Refuge's adoption process
Additional adoption info
We require an adoption application to be filled out, as well as visits with potential adopted friend (to make sure they want you as much as you want them). Once obvious bond, we will schedule a home inspection.
If you find after adopting your friend that things are not working out, it is in our adoption contract that they come back to us and not get passed around from home to home.
Adoption fees start at $5 for finches and up to $1000.00 for the larger birds (macaws/greys). The larger birds adoption fee includes the cage that they are currently in.
We also have a small exotic bird store attached to our shelter, so I may not be able to get back to you the same day, but will respond to any questions you may as quickly as possible

About Seymour Bird Refuge
We are a rescue, meaning we do not deal with breeders and our feathered friends are not babies, they are children now in the foster system waiting for a loving home.
For several years we have taken in surrendered birds, cared for them and have successfully rehomed many.
As any bird lover knows, they can live for an extremely long time for a pet, many outlive their owners, or due to the owners relocating to assisted living do not have anyone willing to love their pet as they did, so we have stepped in to fill the gap. Unfortunately pet stores are selling more and more birds, so now we are seeing younger people surrendering, as they find out birds need several hours a day of love an attention, more than a young couple can give.

Support adoption and rescue. Why go to a dog breeder, cat breeder or pet store to buy a dog or buy a cat when you can adopt?
Why should you adopt?
Dog adoption and cat adoption saves lives. Adopt a dog or adopt a cat and you'll have a friend for life.
What is the difference between adopting a dog, adopting a cat, adopting a kitten or adopting a puppy versus getting dogs for sale, cats for sale, puppies for sale or kittens for sale from a dog breeder or a cat breeder?
When someone is breeding puppies or breeding kittens, they are creating new dogs and cats who need homes. Some people are interested in a very specific breed of dog, cat, puppy or kitten and they think the only way to find that specific breed is to buy a dog for sale or buy a cat for sale from a puppy breeder or a kitten breeder. Yet animal shelters are filled with dogs and cats who must find homes.
So rather than buying a dog or puppy for sale from a dog breeder or buying a cat or kitten for sale from a cat breeder, we encourage people to adopt a dog, adopt a cat, adopt a puppy or adopt a kitten at their local animal shelter, SPCA, humane society or pet rescue group.
