Why? How can adoption fees ensure my bird will get to a good home?

    Well if people are willing to pay that much for parakeets then they should take good care of them

    for example if you paid $1000 for a dog you are going to take good care of him because you spent alot of money on him

    You never know what people might do to a free bird. People who pay usually have at least some intention of caring for it.

    you are not a charity - therefor you are not adopting out your pet you are selling them
    all a fee does is guarantee the person has enough money to buy the pet - it can never ensure a good hom

    animal shelters have questionares and some do home checks or call vets for references.. they call landlords to make sure people have permission if they are renters.. etc..

    Having an adoption fee or selling a bird or any pet doesn’t ensure they are going to be taken care of it only shows maybe an intention of wanting something that they would be willing to pay for.
    There have been lots of pets adopted from shelters, and other places only to have been abused, neglected, even killed by the adopter, purchaser, etc.
    You can start by asking the person interested in your keets what their knowledge of owning a parakeet is like what kind of food, houseing, daily care, treats, the bird should have. Taking the bird to them so you can see the home, making a list of the things that parakeets need and require for good health and care and comfort and making sure to give it to the person you choose, ask them who their avian vet is etc.
