Amazon.com: The Wild Parrots of Telegraph Hill: A... I read and loved the book, but there is a documentary as well for you more visual types. The parrot flock in SF is really an amazing sight (and sound).

Thor's Human Donating Member | Winograd claims that almost all shelters operate per HSUS written guidelines. These guidelines don't have any kind of kill or adoption targets specified. Instead, it has rules such as that a dog must be held for five days before it is destroyed. I believe it also mandates that all cats must be adopted out as indoor pets only. They must be online somewhere -- I'll try to find a link.

Thor's Human Donating Member | Well, that was easy. It seems like pretty generic stuff, though there is a link to proper adoption policies in the following doc. I'll take a look at that too. http://files.hsus.org/web-files/HSI/...r_policies.pdf

I will contact Oasis, at least to talk to them. I'm in no hurry to 'get rid of' Floyd and want to make sure I make the best decision possible for him. I do know that not all sanctuaries are the same and I bet Oasis could at least give me some guidance.

Cindy, i tried the link about Alex but there's not much there. I assume you're talking about Alex, the African Grey. He was an awesome bird but died too young. I think he was around 26 when he died and a Grey's life span is 60 - 80 years.

I have never heard shelters following the HSUS guidelines but when I read the guidelines they are very wishy washy so don't sure if any of it really matters. I know the shelter I worked with in Tucson had much stricker guidelines on top of those.
