Adopt aviary birds

Adopting through a rehoming centre can take a little extra time and patience, but the rewards are worth it.

Before you start your journey...

Adopting an animal is a big decision, have you thought about what is involved? Take a look at our care guides to learn how to prepare for, and look after your new animal, read our adoption process and submit your application online.

Although they may not be shown on our website, we often have cockatiels, budgies, canaries, and other finches looking for new homes. Please complete an application form if you are interested in adopting smaller aviary birds; please note that all birds need to be kept in an aviary – we don’t rehome to caged homes.

Our parrots and cockatoos usually stay with us for life due to their long lifespans and ongoing medical issues. If you have the facilities to care for a larger bird, please contact us at info@raystede.org.

We rely on your donations to help animals like Topsy.

When Topsy arrived with us, he was severely underweight and needed a lot of care. We couldn't help the amount of animals we do without your support. Please donate to help more animals get the care they deserve.
