Burge Bird Rescue

I am a veterinarian with over 30 years of experience who treats birds exclusively, and I started Burge Bird Rescue in conjunction with my avian veterinary practice. Clients visiting our hospital are able to see adoptable birds thru a window in the exam room, as well as via a large window in the lobby. We rescue birds because most other shelters will not accept birds, but they are the third most commonly kept type of pet, and the need for rehoming is great, especially for the large parrots that can easily outlive their owners.

Adoption application, phone interview, in person interview and meet birds, second visit with birds, if approved pay adoption fee, receive counseling on nutrition, household hazards, and all other aspects of bird care.
