Rescued parrots up for adoption land sanctuary in Delta via Craigslist
DELTA, B.C. — Jan Robson walks through the five-bedroom house on a country road in Delta, B.C., greeting its feathered tenants one by one.
Simon and Garfunkel are about to move out — they’ve been adopted by a family in Nova Scotia. She strokes Ruby’s beak before Dexter hops beside her to see what’s going on. And when she starts singing the theme song to “The Addams Family,” Joey bobs his head to the beat.
Robson, a spokeswoman for the Greyhaven Exotic Bird Sanctuary, says the 70 adoptable rescue parrots are lucky to have this space, which volunteers found the way many house hunters do these days.
“Craigslist — sometimes it works,” she said. “Fortunately the (landlord) is an animal lover.”
