Cheeky Beaks rehoming procedure
Step 1:
The owners contact us and tell us their reason for wanting to rehome their bird.
Step 2:
We then recommend possible training to control the issue (should this be possible). We offer both virtual and in person training at R150 and R200 an hour respectively. We also have a rehabilitation programme where they can be placed with a foster temporarily to try and redirect the undesired behaviours. Pricing of this depends on the specific case.
Step 3:
If the owners decide that rehoming is the best option we find a foster for the bird who has experience with the specific species or issue presented to work on correcting the behaviour.
Step 4:
Once the foster has had a chance to assess the bird’s personality and start to work on things like diet conversion, we have the bird assessed by an avian vet.
Step 5:
We then start looking at applications and completing home checks. This helps us to create a list of the best candidates for a specific bird.
Step 6:
Once all home checks are completed the top candidates get to meet the bird to see if the bird prefers one person over another
Step 7:
We then have the adopter sign an adoption agreement or in the case of bigger birds a foster-to-adopt agreement before we send them to their forever home.
