Are there costs involved in adopting from Perfectly Precious Parrot Rescue?
Yes, there are costs involved. Rescue is not a source to acquire free or low-cost animals. The adoption fees you pay help us defray costs we incur when caring for birds in our care. It costs a lot to feed each animal a species-specific diet, and provide appropriate housing, toys, and veterinary care. In fact, veterinary care is usually our largest expense. Avian veterinary science is still a relatively new discipline, which means fewer vets are educated and have the proper laboratory equipment necessary. We also must cover other costs, such as website fees, transporting animals, phone bills, etc. Our volunteers receive no pay. Our adoption donations are a small effort to help defray the cost of our organization, but most donations do not begin to cover the expense for each animal.
