DYK?: Not All Adoptable Birds Are In Shelters!

Did someone forward you this email? Then, 👇

Welcome to this week’s Rooster Roster! This week we have a lot of private listings, especially on Craigslist. We know you love to refresh your local animal shelter pages, but if manually browsing craigslist is too much, don’t worry: we gotchu.

So! Use the table of contents to jump to your state, or scroll through to browse anywhere you’d like an excuse to travel.

One tip: we highlight birds that are new to their shelters, so we recommend also browsing through your local shelter’s adoptable animals to see if you can spot any older hidden gems waiting for you, or even birds pending a stray hold that you could be first in line to see when they become available. Get to know your local shelter’s system and you will have a leg up on adopting the bird of your dreams!

If you have suggestions for future newsletter issues, please reply to this email to let us know. Specifically, please let us know if you prefer to browse adoptable birds by location (to find the birds nearest to you), or bird species (because you’ll fly across country for right man drake).
