When you come to a point where you can no longer take care of your bird, it’s time to think of another home for your pet. This is what Willing Your Bird means. An agreement is made between you and another party (often family or a bird sanctuary) that says the other party will care for your bird to their best ability. It’s always good to have this agreement in writing. Everyone involved will be on the same page, and disagreements will be few. This is similar to a human’s will, where all of the necessary information is presented clearly to avoid confusion.

Which Bird Sanctuary is Right for Me?

Depending on your bird’s type and condition, and which sanctuary you are considering, you’ll have to do a good deal of research on different sanctuaries. Willing Your Bird to a sanctuary with no need or space for your particular pet is a waste of time. It’s important to visit the sanctuary to see what your bird’s new home will be like.

Willing Your Bird to Friends or Family

If you decide friends and family are the best route, choose someone you know and trust. Willing Your Bird to a stranger may not always benefit your bird in the best way. People who know you are good choices because they’re familiar with your bird and its care requirements.
