There are many good reasons for micro-chipping birds and parrots. If the bird is lost or stolen they can easily be identified and returned or identified as a stolen bird. The theft of birds is increasing. A lot of birds escape because of the owner’s mistaken belief that clipping a bird’s wings prevents flight. Micro-Chipping costs range anywhere from $40 – $150 for the microchip and that doesn’t include the expense that you may incur if there’s a medical complication from the microchip process. Some Micro-Chipping Registries also charge an annual fee.

A part of animal rescue goes beyond that of helping dogs, cats, or even bunnies. Exotic bird rescue needs just as much help from the community as organizations that help those with wagging tails.
