Our club does not rescue birds nor have parrots to foster or to adopt. In Ohio, the Charlie Brown Bird Rescue in Cardington, the Miami Valley Bird Club and Rescue in the Troy area, and Parrot Hope Rescue in Mantua all accept birds to be surrendered to them and does foster and adopt out exotic birds.
