🦜 Why We Are Foster-Based

Safe Perch Exotic Avian Rescue, Inc. is a foster-based nonprofit organization dedicated to the rescue, rehabilitation, and responsible rehoming of exotic companion birds. We are committed to ethical rescue practices that prioritize animal welfare, thoughtful placement, and long-term success for both birds and adopters.

Our rescue operates through a carefully managed network of approved foster homes, allowing each bird to receive individualized, species-appropriate care in a home environment. This foster-based model supports responsible biosecurity by enabling proper quarantine and health observation while minimizing the risk of disease transmission. It also allows us to better understand each bird’s unique personality, medical needs, and behavioral tendencies.

Equally important, fostering provides birds with the opportunity to build trust, develop healthy routines, and receive consistent, individualized attention — all essential components of adoption readiness. In addition to individualized care, we prioritize education and lifelong support for adopters, so birds transition into forever homes with the best possible foundation for long-term well-being.

Safe Perch also supports bird guardians facing difficult rehoming decisions by offering compassionate guidance, education, and transparent processes designed to reduce stress and promote positive outcomes. We do not operate a public intake facility; all rescue activities are coordinated through approved foster placements and collaborative partnerships.

Our mission is rooted in compassion, responsibility, and respect for the complex needs of exotic companion birds — because every bird deserves a safe perch and a future built on understanding, stability, and care.

Meet Our Current Residents

in addition to individualized foster care, Safe Perch prioritizes education and lifelong support for adopters, helping birds transition into forever homes with the best possible foundation for long-term well-being and informed ownership.

  • 🦜 Meet Rosie 🩶

    Rosie may have a sweet name, but don’t let that fool you — Rosie is a male African Grey with a personality big enough to fill the whole room.

    This guy is extremely talkative. With our own African Greys, we actually keep a spreadsheet of the words and phrases they say just to see how many we can recognize. With Rosie? We simply can’t keep up. He is an absolute riot and always seems to have something to say.

    Rosie does have a mild scissor beak, but it does not stop him from doing what he wants to do. It is not severe, and he continues to eat, play, talk, and interact like the character he is.

    He also seems to prefer women, so his ideal home may be with someone who can build that bond patiently and respectfully.

    Rosie would make a wonderful companion for someone who understands African Greys and is willing to give him the time, freedom, and enrichment he deserves. He truly thrives when he is allowed time outside of his cage and loves being part of the activity around him.

    For the right home, Rosie has the potential to be an incredible companion — funny, smart, vocal, and full of personality.

    Coco and Mango (Bonded)

    This sweet bonded pair is the definition of companionship. These two conures are rarely seen apart—whether they’re perched side-by-side, preening one another, or quietly keeping watch together. Their bond provides comfort, confidence, and emotional stability, and for that reason they will be placed together only in a forever home that understands and values bonded birds.

    Both are alert, expressive, and deeply social, showing the curious and affectionate personalities conures are known for. They thrive on routine, enrichment, and gentle interaction, and would do best in a home ready to offer patience, consistency, and plenty of together-time.

    If you’re looking to welcome not one—but two hearts that beat as one—this pair will reward you with constant companionship and a lifetime of shared moments.

    Celebi (Pokemon)

    Meet Celebi, a bright little Green Indian Ringneck with a curious heart and a gentle soul. Still young and growing into himself, Celebi doesn’t have his signature neck ring just yet—but based on what we’ve been told, this sweet guy is expected to show it as he matures. For now, he’s all wide eyes, soft feathers, and quiet confidence.

    Celebi loves observing the world around him, taking in every sound and movement with thoughtful attention. He’s at the perfect age to build trust, learn routines, and blossom into the intelligent, interactive companion Indian Ringnecks are known for. With patience, positive interaction, and plenty of enrichment, Celebi is sure to grow into a wonderful lifelong friend.

    If you’re looking to be part of a young bird’s journey—watching personality, confidence, and that iconic ring slowly emerge—Celebi is ready to grow with you 💫

  • "BIRD" is our new intake - PERMANENT RESIDENT

    PERMANENT RESIDENT

  • 🦜 Meet Miney

    Miney is another one of the cockatiel brothers who recently came into Safe Perch Exotic Avian Rescue from a surrender in Kentucky.

    He is a handsome Grey Cockatiel and part of the little brother crew: Eanie, Meanie, Miney, Moe, and Nubs — with Nubs getting his name because of his little club foot.

    Miney seems to be the quieter one of the bunch. While some birds come in loud and ready to announce themselves, Miney is taking things in a little more softly. He is watching, listening, and settling into this big change at his own pace.

  • 🦜 Meet Moe & Nubs

    Moe and Nubs are two more of the cockatiel brothers who recently came into Safe Perch Exotic Avian Rescue from a surrender in Kentucky.

    They are part of the little brother crew: Eanie, Meanie, Miney, Moe, and Nubs — with Nubs getting his name because of his little club foot.

    Moe is settling in along with his brothers, while Nubs has already stolen our hearts in a special way. Because of his little foot, Nubs may need extra patience, understanding, and long-term care.

    At this time, Moe and Nubs will most likely remain permanent residents with Safe Perch, unless the right person comes along and can truly show they understand the level of care, patience, and commitment precious Nubs deserves.

  • 🦜 Meet Paco

    Paco came into Safe Perch Exotic Avian Rescue along with the cockatiel brothers, and he has already shown us what a special bird he is.

    Paco is a Pionus Parrot with a mild-mannered, gentle personality. Like many birds adjusting to a new environment, he may squawk when he gets nervous — but once he realizes he is safe, he settles down and shows his sweet side.

    Underneath that first little nervous alarm call is a bird who wants companionship, patience, and understanding. Paco has the makings of an incredible companion for the right person willing to give him time, consistency, and love.

    Sometimes the best birds just need someone to look past the nervous moments and see the heart underneath.

  • 🦜 Meet Finnigan

    Finnigan is a beautiful Lilac-Crowned Amazon who recently came into Safe Perch Exotic Avian Rescue, and right now he is still settling in and learning that he’s safe.

    His vet check went amazingly well, which is always a huge relief with any new intake. He did have some cleanup needed from the diet he had been on — including food buildup from being fed a lot of peanut butter - PB on claws and then rubbed his beak and it left some residue into his nostrils— but he’s now transitioning onto a healthier, more stable diet.

    Like many birds who come into rescue, Finnigan just needs time, patience, consistency, and the right care as he begins this next chapter.

    We’ll be sharing updates as he settles in, adjusts to his new routine, and starts showing us more of his personality.

  • 🦜 Meet Eanie & Meanie (In Foster Care)

    Eanie, our Pied Cockatiel, and Meanie, our Grey Cockatiel, are two brothers who recently came into Safe Perch Exotic Avian Rescue from a surrender in Kentucky.

    They are part of a little family of brothers named Eanie, Meanie, Miney, Moe, and Nubs — with Nubs getting his name because of his little club foot.

    Their previous owner could no longer care for them, but they did the right thing by making sure these boys had a safe place to go. Surrendering is never easy, but choosing help when an animal needs more than you can give is an act of love.

    The good news? Eanie and Meanie have already found a foster home where they can settle in, feel safe, and begin their next chapter.

  • Cinnabon ADOPTED🤎

    Cinnabon is our sweet little Cinnamon Conure who recently came into Safe Perch Exotic Avian Rescue and is now officially fresh out of quarantine.

    This cutie is already showing us what a gentle little bird he is. Cinnabon steps up for almost anyone, has a quieter nature, and seems to take in the world with wide-eyed curiosity. He’s (We are told hes a male) cute, calm, and full of wonder as he begins this next chapter.

    Like all birds entering rescue, we’re still learning more about his personality, preferences, and what kind of home will help him thrive — but so far, Cinnabon is proving to be a very special little companion.

    Follow along as Cinnabon settles in and continues showing us who he is.

  • Sir Chirps ADOPTED💚

    Sir Chirps is an adorable Green Cheek Conure who recently came into Safe Perch Exotic Avian Rescue from Kentucky, and he is officially fresh out of quarantine.

    Now that his quarantine period is complete, we’re starting to learn more about his personality, his little quirks, and what kind of home will help him thrive. Like many new arrivals, he’s still settling in, but he’s already showing us just how sweet and special he is.

    Green Cheek Conures may be small, but they are full of personality, charm, and heart — and Sir Chirps is no exception.

    Follow along as Sir Chirps begins his next chapter with us.

  • YODA ADOPTED!!!!!

    Yoda has officially been adopted 💚🪐

    Rumor has it word traveled to a galaxy far, far away that a little Green Cheek Conure named Yoda was looking for his next chapter… and the call was answered.

    After winning hearts here on Earth, Yoda has officially found his new home with a wonderful family ready to give him the love, patience, and attention he deserves. His next adventure is about to begin, and we have a feeling this tiny Jedi is exactly where he is meant to be.

    Thank you to everyone who followed his journey, shared his story, and helped him find his flock.
