Describe the parrot the new owner will actually live with
A handover pack should describe this individual, not parrots in general. Write his daily rhythm honestly, from when he wakes and expects his first food to the sounds, words, and routines that structure his day and the time he settles at night. Record what he loves, what frightens him, how he asks for attention, how he warns that he has had enough, and the handling he accepts gladly versus the handling he merely tolerates. Parrots are long-lived, highly individual birds, and a new owner who understands this one's personality from day one avoids the misunderstandings that cause a second rehoming, which is the outcome this pack exists to prevent.
Write the diet and care routine in full working detail
Set out the exact diet as you feed it, describing the base food, the fresh chop or vegetables and how you prepare them, the treats and what they are used for, and any food that must never be offered. Cover the living details too: cage setup and favourite perches, bath or shower habits, out-of-cage time, sleep arrangements and cover routine, and the toys he genuinely plays with rather than ignores. Send familiar items with him where you can, because a known toy and his usual perch carry his sense of safety into a strange room far better than new equipment chosen by someone who has not met him yet.
Include the honest history, including the hard parts
Assemble the formal record: closed ring or microchip details, where he came from, his veterinary history with dates of significant visits, and notes on any ongoing health management your vet has put in place. Then write the disclosure paragraph every ethical handover needs. If he plucks, screams at particular triggers, bites strangers, or is bonded so strongly to one person that others must earn trust slowly, say so plainly and describe what helps. Hiding a difficulty does not protect him; it sets up a failed placement. A new owner warned properly and still willing is the only kind of home worth handing him to.
Add the permissions and contacts that make the first month easier. Include written consent for your vet to share his records with the new owner's vet, the surgery's contact details, and your own number with an honest invitation to use it when something about him puzzles them. Note when his next routine check falls due and any quirk that looks alarming but is normal for him, such as a dramatic moult or a seasonal noisy spell, because a warned owner stays calm while an unwarned one may panic or lose confidence in the placement.
Hand over gradually where you possibly can
If circumstances allow, let the new owner visit and handle him in your home before the move, and stay reachable afterwards for the questions that only arise once he is living there. Agree clearly what happens if the placement fails, so he returns to you or to an agreed safety net rather than being passed on again by strangers. Keep a copy of the whole pack for yourself in case you are contacted years later about his history. Moving his profile through KinsLe Transferrable Profiles ensures the diet, the quirks, the vet history, and the honest disclosures travel with the parrot into his next home intact.
