H.O.R.S.E. Inc.& Feathered Friends
Adoption Contract
Congratulations on your decision to adopt a bird from H.O.R.S.E. Inc & Feathered Friends.
Properly cared for, your new pet can give you a lifetime of companionship. Given the nature of
exotic birds and the commitment that you are now making, it is imperative that you agree to the
following:
1. If for any reason, I am even unable to keep my bird, I will notify H&FF and make arrangements
to return the bird.
I will not give the bird to anyone else.
2. I will not, at any time, breed this bird.
3. I will daily feed my bird a varied and healthy diet.
4. I will not intentionally allow my bird to become flighted and will make every effort to keep his/her
wing feathers clipped.
5. I will take my bird to the avian vet for annual examinations and at any sign of illness.
6. I will provide my bird with fresh water, a clean and roomy cage and plenty of safe toys.
7. I will not sell this bird or otherwise use it for monetary gain.
8. I will notify H&FF if I move or change my telephone number.
9. I understand that parrot care is an expanding field and I promise to keep abreast of any new
developments that may enhance my ability to care for my bird.
10. I understand that parrots are very long-lived and have made or will make the appropriate
arrangements.
11. I understand that parrots are not domesticated animals like dogs or cats, and that modifying
certain behaviors may require training, expert advice and patience. I agree to work with my bird to
modify any such undesirable behavior without the use of negative reinforcements or other
methods which may harm him/her. I also understand that certain behaviors may never be entirely
eradicated.
12. I agree to give my bird all the attention, affection, interaction and mental stimulation
appropriate to a highly intelligent and social creature. I agree to treat him/her like a treasured
member of my family.
13. I understand that questions will arise as to the proper care of my parrot, and I agree to contact
H&FF or an avian professional with these questions. I agree that it is in the best interest of my bird
to ask rather than to guess.
14. I will keep my bird in a smoke free environment.
15. I will make adequate arrangements for my bird in the event of vacations or prolonged
absences from home.
IF AT ANY TIME, IT BECOMES THE OPINION OF H&FF THAT THESE CONDITIONS ARE NOT
BEING MET, I UNDERSTAND THAT H&FF MAY RECLAIM THIS PET IRRESPECTIVE OF ANY
DONATION OR OTHER EXPENDITURES THAT I HAVE MADE. I UNDERSTAND THAT THIS IS A
LEGAL AND BINDING CONTRACT.

adoption. The “adopter” expressly agrees to take the bird as is and will be responsible for all
veterinary care and releases H.O.R.S.E. Inc. & Feathered Friends from all liability for the bird’s
health.
If you have other birds, it is strongly recommended that you observe reasonable quarantine
procedures for at least thirty (30) days.
H.O.R.S.E. Inc & Feathered Friends is operated for the benefit of the birds. While we are not

welcome and encourage your inquiries.
