How do I rehome my bird in Ottawa?

List your bird free on the BST Rehoming Portal. You keep the bird at home the whole time. Applicants complete a screening interview before you see them, you choose the home you want, and you arrange the handover locally in Ottawa.

Does it cost anything to rehome a bird in Ottawa?

No. Listing is free and seeing your applicants in full is free — their contact details, their complete answers and their screening interview.

Do I have to give my bird to whoever applies first?

No. You choose, and you can decline everyone. Nothing is placed without the owner saying yes, and you can take the listing down at any time.

Where does the handover happen?

Locally, between you and the adopter you chose, at a time you both agree. Bird Sitting Toronto is based in the Toronto area; the portal is national and the handover is always arranged in Ottawa.

Rehome Your Bird in Ottawa

If you need to find a new home for a bird in Ottawa, Ontario, this is the free way to do it properly. You list the bird, we screen everyone who applies, and you pick the home. Nothing is placed without your say-so, and your phone number is never shown on the listing.

Ottawa is its own market, several hours from the Toronto pool — which is exactly why listing here matters: Ottawa adopters have almost nothing local to look at, and a bird listed in Ottawa is the only bird in Ottawa.

Listing is free, and it takes a few minutes.

You keep your bird 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.

Why not just put an ad up in Ottawa?

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.

Every applicant completes a screening interview before you ever see them, so you are choosing between people who have already explained their experience, their home and their routine.
You keep your bird at home the entire time. Nothing moves until you have picked somebody and agreed a handover.
You pick. We never place a bird without the owner saying yes.
No public phone number, no strangers messaging you at midnight, and no haggling — your contact details are never shown on the listing.
