Bird Rehabilitation & Re-homing Centre

 A bird rehabilitation and rehoming center based in Sherwood Park, Alberta, Meika’s Safehouse provides 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 *

 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.

Well this isn't a parrot or a bird for that matter!  What's the deal?   Sparrow came to us from the SPCA over a year ago as an owner surrender.  He is a super friendly, potty trained, big fat bunny that really needs a home where he can hop around and be a bunny.  Not suitable for anyone with hair or hay allergies.

NAME:   Taz

SPECIES: Moluccan Cockatoo

AGE:  Hatched in 1998

SEX:  Female

ADOPTION FEE:  $2000 with cage, vet check, additional health testing, and microchip. 


 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 my petting cuddling, I could get very frustrated which could lead to a bite.


NAME:   Jet

SPECIES: Budgie

AGE:  Hatched in 2020

SEX:  Female

ADOPTION FEE: $15


 My name is Jet and I was surrendered because I wasn't bonding to anyone in the home.  Upon surrender I had a puncture wound on my back (suspected encounter with a cat, unconfirmed though), which got infected for about a week.  Antibiotic cream was applied to my back and we are noticing a huge difference in my healing.  I am not quite ready to be adopted  but I do have 3 budgie friends here at Safehouse that are ready to be adopted, come meet us if you are looking to add some budgie chatter to your home.  


NAME:   Chullan

SPECIES: Indian Ringneck

AGE:  Hatched in 2018

SEX:  Male

ADOPTION FEE: Just landed, not available to adopt yet.


This is Chullan, he is a cute, sweet little boy.  He says good morning to us every day and is quite lovely to have here at Safehouse.  He was surrendered because of his recent plucking around his neck and back.  We hope to get this sorted out with showers, nutrition, lighting and routine, however he is scheduled to go to the vet to rule out any medical concerns. 

-Update April 8th 2021, Chullan had a crop swab taken and found there was elevated bacteria and upon physical exam he noticed his crop was thicker.  Chullan was prescribed antibiotics and an antifungal to clear up any infection... It appeared to be a mild infection, and we will update again once his prescription is finished.
