Braveheart is SCBR's mascot. His mean ugly owner put him on a hot stove on purpose and burned off his feet. Braveheart hangs on to his cage by sticking out his leg stubbies through the bars.
About me:
Located in Rochester, New York, Second Chance Bird Rescue Inc. is a not for profit bird rescue.
We do not breed, buy, or sell parrots! Our primary goal is to provide a second chance for companion parrots. We will work to rehabilitate birds who have behavior issues. We feel that all feathered family members deserve a second chance to find a home and a loving family to join.
Each home is carefully screened, and investigated in person, to help assure that each placement is as smooth and well suited as possible. No bird is adopted to a person it shows an obvious dislike for, and no person is allowed to adopt a bird before completing placement visits and screening in order to ensure each bird is placed in the right home.
Those birds surrendered who arrive with a suitable cage, toys, and equipment are re-homed, or adopted out, with those same items. However, in many instances birds are surrendered without any items of care, to include a cage. During the birds stay at Second Chance Bird Rescue, we will provide the necessary items to house and care for the bird. However, prior to adoption, the new home must provide a suitable cage and the items necessary to care for the bird.
All our residents receive regular vet care, and a diet consisting of a variety of dry mixes and plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables.
BIRDS AVAILABLE FOR SPONSORSHIP
Message from Kristina:
Chirps and greetings,
Second Chance Bird rescue is now accepting, appreciating, and thanking you for sponsorship of our permanent residents! There are currently 14 permanent residents at SCBR, some of whom require medical attention and special care.
Every little bit helps!
In any given month, Barb will spend around $1500 for the shelter for rent, food, and medical supplies. This is her only "job" and without financial help, she often spends money out of her (and her family's) pocket for these parrots because she loves them so much.
