Adoption Application
Capital District Pet Bird Club
Prior to completing this application, please be advised that:
1. It is the goal of the Capital District Pet Bird Club to provide
loving and lasting homes for rescued, abandoned, and abused birds. We
also work to provide homes for birds whose owners (for whatever reason)
can no longer care for them.
2. When birds are placed with new owners via the CDPBC, it is with the
understanding that under no circumstances are the birds to be sold or
given away. Should extenuating circumstances occur whereby the new
owner cannot keep the bird, that bird becomes the property of the CDPGB
and must be returned to us for re-adoption.
3. It is a requirement of our club adoption program that you join our
organization. Dues are $20 per year and entitle you to an informative
quarterly newsletter, attend free meetings and special events. (Consult
the membership page of this website.)
I understand and agree to the above stipulations:
