Out-of-state Adoptors
We would waive the home visit, but would require letters of reference (2-3). The visits can be 3 days in a row; for instance a Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Since we do not ship birds, we would release the bird to you to take home with you, providing that you show us that you have made arrangements to take the bird with you, (without shipping as it is too stressful on a shelter bird.), that you have a proper carrier for the trip and that you have an adequate cage for the bird when it arrives at your home with you. Your first step is to complete the application and fax it to us at 815-384-3190. Then you should call us to see if we recieved it and if you have been approved and if so, we will need to make arrangements for you to come out. We can conduct the interview as part of your first visit.
