CONSIGNMENT
REHOME
Do you have a need to get your bird a new home? This judgement-free program allows you to utilize the power of our store to find your bird a new home. We know situations do happen that are unavoidable so we utilize this program to help birds in need of a rehome from ending up on Craigslist for a quick rehome. We use our staff here to help vet potential owners and ensure that they are a good fit for the bird in need of rehoming.
If interested, please email us to set up an appointment for further information
How this process works
At no point does the bird being consigned become the property of Exotic Pet Birds inc. The owner can decide to do a closed adoption or open adoption. We know there are expenses incurred from having owned the pet bird so we set a fair price with the owner that the owner agrees to sell the bird at. Once a new owner has purchased the bird; the previous owner receives a check for the sale of the bird to the new owner minus a 50% consignment fee. All taxes are paid through the store to New York State so this is also deducted from the amount the seller nets.
Why is this better than giving your bird to a rescue?
This program removes the burden from non for profit rescues who operate with volunteer-based staff and often times dont have large enough facilities that can house these animals that have been displaced from their homes. It further allows the owner of the animal to recoup expenses made in obtaining and maintaining the care of their animal. Unlike a rescue, this program gives money to the previous owner to recoup the financial commitments of caring for the animal during their ownership. This opportunity avoids you having to give your pet away to a rescue while maintaining a high integrity professional rehome

Logistics
The bird may be housed here in store or at the seller's home and come in for appointments. We have to balance care in store so we don’t always accept every applicant but we do our best to make room. This opportunity gives all the advantages of giving your pet away to a rescue with the opportunity to recapture some expenses involved in care. This is our way to help reduce the stress of animal rescues which are often over full in home set ups or overworked caring people. This program could not exist without the regular support of our customers as we use store funds to care for these birds while in our care. This is just one way we are stronger together!
This program is available all year round
This program runs all throughout the year, but will sometimes fill up, so if we are not able to assist you when you first contact us, we will try to fit you in at a later date. Note: the bird must meet the NYS bird leg band law. Exotic Pet Birds INC. retains the right to accept or reject birds for the program. This consignment program is utilized to help owners in need of support. We do this as a community service opportunity to have professional rehoming guidance. That said, we have limited space and resources for
the program.
Reminder: This process costs Exotic Pet Birds Inc. lots of money to do and tons of time and space but it’s a huge way we ensure birds get safe homes. This program is available because you took the time to drive past the big box store and bought your pet supplies here. We are stronger together!!
