Become A Parrot Fosterer
Ever wondered what it’s like to have a feathery friend as part of your family? Fostering a parrot is a truly unique and rewarding experience, and Parrot Society (Singapore) is looking for people with a big heart to offer temporary homes to these intelligent, cheeky birds.
When you become a fosterer, you’re not just providing a home – you’re helping to rehabilitate and socialise parrots, some of whom have had challenging pasts, health issues, or are simply lost and unclaimed. It’s a chance to learn about their quirks, and see just how much personality they have. From chatty African Greys to colourful conures, every foster parrot brings something special to your home.
What’s in it for you? A lot of laughter, a few unexpected dance routines, and the joy of knowing you’re giving a parrot a fresh start. Plus, fostering is an ideal way to learn about parrot care without a lifelong commitment. Parrot Society (Singapore) will support you every step of the way, ensuring you have the resources and guidance to care for your new feathered companion!
Whether you’re an experienced bird lover or just someone who loves animals, becoming a fosterer is a truly fulfilling way to make a difference. So why not give it a go? Join our fostering family and discover the joy of caring for a parrot in need!
We may come across instances where a parrot needs to be fostered until its original owner is found, or until we find a suitable adopter for the bird. Please read the following section carefully, and then fill in the form below if you are interested to become a fosterer for PSS.

Definition of a “fosterer”: A fosterer is someone who temporarily takes care of a parrot in their home until the bird is reunited with its owner, or until a permanent home can be found.
- You play an important role in providing a safe and comfortable environment for the parrot until it is ready to be reunited, adopted, or transferred to another foster home.
- Your responsibilities may include providing food, water, shelter, exercise, veterinarian visits and medical care, as well as socialising and training the parrot to prepare it for adoption.
- You will need to have a spare room or segregated area in your home (excluding storerooms, bomb shelters and bathrooms) that is sheltered and conducive for fostering, and where your own pets do not reside.
- It is mandatory for all fosterers to sign PSS’ Fostering Agreement and allow PSS to inspect their homes and interview them on bird care methods.
