If you need to find a new home for a cockatoo in Mississauga, Ontario, this is the free way to do it properly — and you are not the first. Cockatoos are among the most commonly rehomed companion birds in Canada, and that is not a reflection on you.
Mississauga is where more birds have been rehomed through this portal than anywhere else in Canada, and where Bird Sitting Toronto's own boarding house is — so a Sauga listing is about as local as it gets.
Listing is free, and it takes a few minutes.
You keep your cockatoo at home the whole time. We screen every applicant, you read what they said, and you choose — or you change your mind and nothing happens.
List your cockatoo in Mississauga — freeCockatoos are the most rehomed large parrot in the world and it is almost never the owner's failing. The volume is extreme, the need for contact is bottomless, and a bird bought as a cuddly baby becomes a screaming, plucking adolescent that many households genuinely cannot house. Placing one properly matters more than placing it quickly.
Whatever the reason, you do not have to justify it to us. The only thing that matters from here is that the next home is the right one, and that is the part we are good at.
You can, and plenty of people do. The difference is who answers. A classified ad brings you forty strangers, several of whom are reselling; this brings you a handful of people who have each sat through a screening interview first.
A lot of what makes people give a bird up — noise, biting, a temporary move, a new baby — has a fix that is cheaper than losing the bird. It costs nothing to read it before you decide.
