Am I the only one who seems to think this rescue is trying to make a profit off these birds??????? You are NOT allowed to go in and meet them, no visits, calls or emails. No description of each bird and their temperment but you apply to adopt which ever bird you choose. In order to apply to adopt their is a $20 fee to apply?? wth! So lets say 20 people apply to adopt these birds, thats $400 on top of the $600 adoption fee???? Does bird care really cost that much or is the rescue just pocketing all this?? Seems soo wrong and is causing a stir in Iowa! www.arl-iowa.org/find-a-pet/exotic-birds.aspx

There is a rescue in SD. That requires you to pay for a 6 hour class before you adopt a bird from them. Before you even are approved for adoption...and if your app is declined, you dont get your money back. They also require three seperate meetings for you and the bird. Then a home check.
I can understand having potential adopters take a class. Exotic birds are long lived, have needs that must be met in order to live a good happy life. Letting a person know what they're in for is a good idea. I can almost understand keeping the fee. But it still doesnt feel right to keep all of it upon app denial.
I miss having birds. But I dont have the time they need.

I think birds are sooo cool and would LOVE to have one some day but my house is just too chaotic for a bird lol. I think taking a class is a great idea altho maybe they should make them take it AFTER their app is approved?!
