Hi everyone - I read through Kevin's thread on the prerequisites for adopting a bird; however, I was wondering if anyone has fostered a bird that is awaiting adoption. I have read through a couple sites and some have the option of adopting with all the lengthy paperwork and home visits. I appreciate the fact that these organizations what to ensure that they are placing the birds with people who are committed to giving the bird the best quality of life.

However, I'm very curious about fostering a bird and I feel I would get the best idea of what is involved by someone who have done it or currently involved in a program. I'm very realistic in the fact that I would have to stick with the smaller parrots since I do not have experience with larger parrots.

Any guidance would be greatly appreciated. I had boarded a parrotlet for a little over a month and she was adorable...it was great to see her do new things (she was recently weaned when I got her) and while it was hard to part with her since they sure win your heart quick...she then went to her new loving family and I know she's doing great.
