Approximate CWA Adoption Fees

Why do we have adoption fees?

With the exception of some small bird species, a veterinarian performs a wellness check and any testing they find necessary for most birds that we rescue.  Those expenses add up FAST. We also do not turn down surrenders due to medical issues, so some birds come to CWA sick, abused, or neglected.  Further testing and medical treatment is necessary and at times a huge expense for the rescue. We often rescue birds that do not come with an adequate cage (so we provide them with one). We also strive to adopt each bird out with an appropriate sized cage, toys, and food (again, more expenses for the rescue).

All adoption fees listed are an approximate fee. Fees are subject to change. Fees are set based on several factors like the age of the bird, health, etc.

Our adoption fees are SIGNIFICANTLY lower than buying a bird from a pet store or breeder.

We do not offer discounts if a person has a cage for a bird already, but we do encourage donating the cage we provide back to the rescue if you do not need it.

Thank you for choosing to adopt!
