Hi! I foster rescue birds across the GTA — nice to meet you all

Hi everyone, I'm Rachel. I foster and rehabilitate rescue birds through a small network of volunteers here in Toronto. Currently I have 6 birds in my home: two cockatiels, one lovebird, an elderly budgie named Winston, and two finches who came in as a bonded pair.

I joined BST Forum because I love connecting with the local bird community. I also want to get the word out that there are always wonderful birds looking for permanent homes in Toronto — adoption is such a beautiful option.

Happy to answer questions about rescue, fostering, or bird behaviour. It's what I do every day!

Rachel, welcome — and what a remarkable thing you do! Six fosters at once is no small commitment, and the work you and your network do is genuinely life-changing for those birds.

The Lost & Found Toronto section of this forum would be a great place to post about birds available for adoption, and you're absolutely welcome to mention the rescue network there. The Toronto bird community really benefits from people like you who bridge the gap between birds in need and loving homes.

Winston the elderly budgie has me already. Please update us on the whole flock's journey — stories like yours are exactly what makes a community forum worth having. So glad you're here!
