Foster Application

Help a Bird Begin Again

Thank you for your interest in fostering with Little Loud Soul Bird Rescue!

Foster homes are the heart of our rescue and allow us to provide birds with a safe, loving environment while they prepare for their forever homes.

This form is a foster request and does not guarantee approval. It helps us learn more about you, your home, and the type of bird you may be a good match for.

If we believe you're a good fit, we'll contact you to schedule a brief virtual meet-and-greet. If approved, you'll complete and sign our Foster Agreement when you pick up your foster bird.

Unsure

Are you willing to foster a newly surrendered/intake bird BEFORE veterinary examination and/or disease testing have been completed?

Yes – I understand the increased risk and have an appropriate space to maintain strict quarantine

Maybe – I would consider it depending on the bird and circumstances

No – I only want to foster birds after veterinary examination and required disease testing

Not applicable – I do not have other birds in my home

If yes, do you have a completely separate room with a closing door where an intake bird can be quarantined away from your personal birds?

Yes

If yes, are you willing to follow LLSBR's quarantine procedures, including handwashing and preventing contact or shared airspace as much as reasonably possible between the intake and your personal birds?

Yes

Why we ask: Newly surrendered birds may have an unknown health history and can carry infectious disease without appearing sick. Fostering an untested bird requires stricter quarantine precautions. Choosing No will not negatively affect your foster application. We want every foster to choose the level of risk they are comfortable and equipped to manage.

Are you comfortable fostering birds that may have behavioral challenges, such as biting, screaming, fearfulness, or aggression?

Yes

Yes, with guidance and support

Only minor behavioral challenges

Please select the behavioral challenges you feel comfortable managing.

Biting

Lunging

Screaming

Fearful/Shy

Not hand-tame

Feather plucking

Birds that require medication

I am open to learning with guidance.

I would prefer a bird without significant behavioral challenges.

Yes

I understand that I am responsible for providing an approved diet for my foster bird at my own expense. Little Loud Soul Bird Rescue will provide available supplies, such as cages, perches, toys, and other equipment, based on inventory and the bird's needs.

Understood

I understand that Little Loud Soul Bird Rescue is a flight-first rescue. Our birds remain flighted whenever safely possible, and wings will not be clipped while in foster care. I agree not to clip or have my foster bird's wings clipped.

Understood

I understand that Little Loud Soul Bird Rescue places birds into foster homes based on the needs of the rescue and the individual bird. Fostering is a temporary caregiving role and is not intended to reserve or trial a specific bird for adoption.

Understood

I understand that if my intent is to adopt a bird, I should submit an Adoption Application rather than a Foster Application. Fostering is intended to provide temporary care for birds assigned by Little Loud Soul Bird Rescue and is not a way to reserve or trial a specific bird.

Understood

By signing below, I acknowledge that I have read, understood, and agree to follow the terms and expectations outlined in this Foster Request. (Print name)

Once your application is submitted, our team will review it and contact you if we'd like to move forward. Approved applicants will be invited to complete a virtual meet with us before being matched with a bird based on the rescue's needs and the best fit for your home.
