Meika's Safehouse Bird Rehabilitation & Re-homing Centre

Meika's Safehouse is a registered charitable organization who's purpose is to rehabilitate and provide a safe and loving environment for any bird in need. We work primarily with parrots, but all species of companion or pet birds are welcomed.

When birds are surrendered into our care, we fully assess their overall health and start some training and socialization as appropriate. Most of the birds that come into care have not been abused, but because of the level of intelligence they possess, they are often under significant emotional stress when they are relinquished. Birds that have been mistreated emotionally or physically require more rehabilitation and may never be suitable for rehoming.

* During the Month of December all Adoptions are put on hold *

Registered Charity Number: 759729874 RR0001

When we determine a bird is ready to be rehomed, much care and consideration is put into selecting an appropriate family. When we are able to match a bird with a new family, in most cases, he or she will be adopted with a suitable cage, as well as their toys and favorite items that they have grown accustomed to. We also provide a current health certificate and microchip all small to extra large birds before they leave our care.

Our desire is to see the birds that leave our care to succeed in their new home, and we are always here to provide advice and assistance.

To see the birds we currently have available for adoption, please see below.

If you would like to meet one of the parrots please call and we will make arrangements.

NAME: Louie

SPECIES: Blue Crowned Conure

AGE:

SEX: Suspected male

ADOPTION FEE: $

STATUS: Available soon

Louie is a sweet conure who is very receptive to training and enjoys the company of his favorite people. Louie is the type of bird that will need to pick you...if you are chosen, he will step up for you.

As you can see he does have some pretty severe feather destructive behaviors but his blood work came back clean and we scrubbed his skin to get rid of the folliculitis and he is actually starting to look less chewed. Any new adoptive family will need to know that Louie has damaged follicles and feathers will not grow back on many areas of his body.

Louie is a favorite here at Meika's.

I am a transfer from the Lethbridge Parrot Club. My guardian passed away and I was in need of a stable environment where I get to choose my next family. I am very friendly with most people, I love to talk, scream, dance and chew cardboard toys to shreds! I am social and love to be with people that understand the complex needs of the cockatoo. If you over stimulate me by petting cuddling, I could get very frustrated which could lead to a bite.
