Rehome Your Budgie in Edmonton
If you need to find a new home for a budgie in Edmonton, Alberta, this is the free way to do it properly — and you are not the first. Budgies are among the most commonly rehomed companion birds in Canada, and that is not a reflection on you.
Edmonton and the capital region form Alberta's second market, and a listing here rarely competes with more than a handful of others.
115 people on our adopter waitlist would be emailed the day you list.
12 have asked for budgies by name, and 103 have not told us what they are looking for, so they hear about every bird. Before you ever see an application, the applicant completes a screening interview — you read the answers, and you choose.
Listing is free, and it takes a few minutes.
You keep your budgie at home the whole time. We screen every applicant, you read what they said, and you choose — or you change your mind and nothing happens.
List your budgie in Edmonton — freeWhy budgies get rehomed
Budgies are usually rehomed because life changed, not because anything went wrong — a move to a smaller place, a new baby, an allergy in the family, or a bird bought for a child who has grown up and left. They are also the species most often bought on impulse, which is nobody's fault and is very fixable: a budgie that has been fed and talked to will settle into a new home within a fortnight.
Whatever the reason, you do not have to justify it to us. The only thing that matters from here is that the next home is the right one, and that is the part we are good at.
Why not just put an ad up in Edmonton?
You can, and plenty of people do. The difference is who answers. A classified ad brings you forty strangers, several of whom are reselling; this brings you a handful of people who have each sat through a screening interview first.
- Every applicant completes a screening interview before you ever see them, so you are choosing between people who have already explained their experience, their home and their routine.
- You keep your bird at home the entire time. Nothing moves until you have picked somebody and agreed a handover.
- You pick. We never place a bird without the owner saying yes.
- No public phone number, no strangers messaging you at midnight, and no haggling — your contact details are never shown on the listing.

Not sure you want to rehome at all?
A lot of what makes people give a bird up — noise, biting, a temporary move, a new baby — has a fix that is cheaper than losing the bird. It costs nothing to read it before you decide.
