Parrot Society Singapore (PSS) 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.

***PLEASE READ THIS BEFORE SIGNING UP***

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 socializing and training the animal to prepare it for adoption.
You will need to have a spare room or segregated (walled) 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.

Fosterers may be able to seek financial assistance from PSS should the costs involved in fostering become insurmountable. Financial assistance requests will be reviewed and approved by PSS to their discretion.
