My two cents:
Many (not all) rescue and bird resource places are just people looking for free birds they want and farm out or sell what they do not want. It amounts to a "get free birds given to you scam" and make a few bucks on the side selling birds. I call it bird flipping. Remember the old adage, buy low sell high? Now it is get it free and sell it for as much as you can get.
My opinion, if they have a charitable tax number by the IRS they are legit. If they do not, beware.
Contact a pet store, bird breeders, private adds in papers. Go see the birds, give them money, sign nothing (unless it is a visa slip) and take YOUR bird(s) home (forever:)
Do you know signing those adoption papers basically gives them the authority to enter your home 24/7\365, any ole time they feel like it into eternity. What a power trip. The police do not have that much power over your life (yet:)
