Share your parrot rescue or foster story!

by Rebecca K. OConnor

Do you have a great story about a parrot that you rescued or fostered? Do you run a rescue and have a story that would save parrot owners a lot of potential heartbreak? Rebecca K. O’Connor, author of A Parrot for Life! is looking for stories for her next book, Rescue Me! A Guide to Living with a Re-Homed Parrot.

Rebecca believes that the best way to convince potential parrot owners to adopt and foster is through imparting key information in an easy to read, entertaining manner. Rescue Me!, like the well-received A Parrot for Life! will cover the most up-date-information and resources available, but she wants to add one more thing…true stories. Rebecca fosters and has some stories of her own, but your personal experiences may make the difference in a parrot’s life! If that’s not enough of a reason here’s more incentive:

•Twelve stories will be chosen. Authors will receive a copy of Rescue Me! published by TFH Publications upon its release.

•Authors of the top three stories will also receive a copy of A Parrot for Life!

•The author of the top story will receive a free lecture/workshop presented by Rebecca at the Parrot Rescue of their choice with all proceeds going to the Rescue. (The parrot rescue will need to provide space for the workshop, but will not need to cover travel or pay a presentation fee.)

So what are you waiting for??

Please send your adoption/foster story of 400 words or less to:

or even better, post them as comments here on the blog. Let's got a dialogue started about fostering and rescuing and behavior!

Authors will need to provide permission for the use of their stories upon acceptance and agree to editing for style and length. Payment will be in the form of a copy of the book.
