We our register Not For Profit Incorporation located 30 minutes from London Ontario. Our primary focus is on reducing the spread of diseases, and improving avian health. We do it by ensuring birds accepted receive an immediate veterinary assessment, and the proper care.
Unfortunately, there are no hard and fast rules for rescue procedures. So, with the many types of avian diseases that exist, there is a serious risk of cross-contamination.
Freedom Flights Exotic Bird Sanctuary/Education, takes pride in their guiding principle; each rescued bird will be seen by their vet. It is our firm belief not taking these safety precautions, with every exotic bird's arrival, is UNACCEPTABLE.
The purpose of our mandatory entry, level, veterinary assessment is to reduce the risk of spreading diseases. The decision to do this was made following feedback we received about poor rescue habits. Much of what we found indicated there many cases in Ontario, where rescued birds are not seen by a qualified vet, unless they appear ill. Birds, being true to their character do not always visibly exhibit signs of illness until the later stages of a disease. Unfortunately,in this scenario, what can occur is the infectious process spreads to other birds. But, most infectious diseases are preventable by a proper screening.
We now have several veterinarians involved with Freedom Flights Exotic Bird Sanctuary/Education. They are deeply involved in our rescue process, They decide on the appropriate care plan for each bird(s). They have final say about any bird who has been surrender, and whether or not that bird can be put up for adoption. We do, however,think it's crucial for the birds welfare; to try and adopt out as many as we can.
