What matters most for birds
Your bird may outlive your first caregiver too
For a young parrot, name a caregiver, a successor, and think in generations. The trust’s successor provisions and oversight role are what keep a 60-year plan honest.
Avian care is specialist care
Avian veterinarians are rarer and pricier than dog-and-cat clinics. Naming the vet, the diet, and the enrichment routine in your care schedule protects a bird whose needs most people misjudge.
Duration rules deserve a check
Because some statutes include duration rules, long-lived birds are the classic case for checking your state’s statute before you rely on a generic form.
Common questions
Can the trust cover a bonded pair or an aviary?
Yes — every covered bird is identified in the trust, and your instructions can direct that bonded birds stay together.
Who checks on the bird years from now?
The enforcement role your state’s statute creates — an enforcer or protector — can inspect, demand records, and act if care falls short, decades after you’re gone.
What funding amount makes sense for a parrot?
Annual food, enrichment, and avian vet costs times a potentially very long remaining lifespan, plus an emergency reserve. The funding worksheet does the math honestly.
