RESCUE THE BIRDS: PARROT RESCUE in CHICAGO (News Clip)

This is a News Story about RESCUE THE BIRDS --
A REFUGE FOR SAVING THE WILDLIFE (located just north of Chicago). It was aired by ABC7 News on 12/6/2007.
RESCUE THE BIRDS cares for some 60 Parrots who need new forever homes!
PLEASE VISIT THEIR WEBSITE:
http://www.rescuethebirds.org/
for more information, to meet their birds and, if you can, to
ADOPT A BIRD or to MAKE A DONATION!
Like so many other Parrot Rescues, they have to build an Addition to accommodate their ever increasing population of unwanted Birds and desperately need funds to finance this daunting project! PLEASE HELP WITH A SMALL DONATION IF YOU CAN! :)

To find out WHY so many Parrots (especially Cockatoos) wind up in Rescues, visit: http://www.mytoos.com/ AND

And please remember...'DON'T BUY, DON'T BREED, ADOPT A PARROT IN NEED!'

Thanks so much for watching and helping!

I would love to have one of them. I took in my Grandmothers Parakeets when she could no longer care for them. They make such wonderful additions to any family.

Your grandma's parakeets are lucky to have you! :>)

I live in Australia, if you will pay my air fare, give me somewhere reasonable to live and a weekly wage, I'll clean the cages for you... and play with the birds... that bit will be for free...

Are you ready for 40 inches of snow and temperatures of minus 35 degrees Fahrenheit between December and February??? Global warming seems to have missed Chicago! :>)

does it cost anything to adopt i been wanting to get a scarlet macaw for a long time

[wildlifeguardian]

YES, ALL rescues charge varying fees to adopt one of their parrots and require that you fill out a detailed application plus provide references. Most rescues will not let you adopt a large parrot unless you live in a house due to their screaming abilities.

GO TO 'RESCUE THE BIRDS' WEBSITE (Link is in the Description) and read thru their adoption requirements for more information!

Way to go to the Weiner family! Listen to the words of wisdom on their YouTube Channel folks: ADOPT a parrot, AFTER you volunteer at a rescue organization to find out if one is really the right pet for you. They require a lot of care and love and work. They are noisy, messy, and a lifetime commitment.

Responsible parrot owners have a designated person in their will.

[michaelhansen2008]

correction to the comment that all parrot rescues charge adoption fees i know a couple that do NOT charge fees to adopt but there is a home inspection and what not and you must sign contracts just saying have your facts straight before saying ALL charge fees!

[JoachimderZweite]

God bless you guys.

What most people don`t think about !

They become as old as methusalem as also said in the clip.

Probably your ancestors will inherit it.

If somebody wants one : Be responsibly !!!

That also is for any other animal !

Very good movie.

Stay at your engagement !

[astrid420]

haha at the news lady comment about getting any sleep in there.. birds DO sleep at night ! :P the question is how do you put up with so many squawks in the daytime!? I hope all those birds find loving PERMANENT homes with owners who know what it takes to care for these wonderful creatures.
