Volunteer requirements and recommendations

image173

Fill out a volunteer information form

This is required for all Volunteers. Please see the form below. These are also available on site.

Sign a waiver

This is required for all Volunteers, Parrots can be unpredictable and bites do happen to even the most experienced bird keepers. It is highly recommended to listen to staff instructions to minimize risk. 

"Work" Clothes

We are an outdoor facility, as such the majority of our work is in outdoor conditions. Please dress accordingly to the weather and your comfort. Often our work is dirty, if you prefer to wear gloves, please do so HOWEVER gloves WILL NOT be worn during training/rehab sessions with parrots. This is for your safety as the majority of birds carry fear about gloves and may become agitated at the presence alone. 

Close Toe Shoes

This is a requirement. Our work usually consists of working outside and with animals. To minimize risk, close toe shoes are recommended for volunteer work....boots preferred.


Flip Flops are NOT acceptable attire for 99% of our work, it is much preferred these are left at home or in the car in favor of close toe shoes. 

Long Pants

This is another safety requirement. While working with birds, should they be on the ground, pants are much preferred to any other attire. 

Bring Documentation if required

If you are volunteering for required hours (community service, senior project, adoption requirements), please be sure to bring any of your required documentation for us to fill out. 

Forms

All Forms may be printed and brought in person or downloaded and emailed to birdrescueron@aol.net
