How do I rehome my bird in Vancouver?

List your bird free on the BST Bird 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 Vancouver.

Does it cost anything to rehome a bird in Vancouver?

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 Vancouver.

Rehome Your Bird in Vancouver

If you need to find a new home for a bird in Vancouver, British Columbia, 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.

Vancouver has an active companion-bird community and no dedicated rehoming platform, so owners here are usually choosing between Craigslist, Facebook groups and a long rescue waiting list.

208 people are on the BST adopter waitlist right now.

Every one of them is emailed as soon as a bird that fits what they asked for is listed. Before you ever see an application, the applicant completes a screening interview — you read the answers, and you choose.

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 Vancouver?

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.

Not sure you want to rehome at all?
