We met Lizzo outside, sitting on top of a cage, out in the country. He was very vocal, excited over having company and was very willing to start a new adventure. He has been such a pleasure to work with. He is interested in whatever you are doing, he wants to be included, loved, and given some love. He can easily become someone’s best friend. He is very observant and responsive to your moods. He seems to prefer women but he doesn’t hate men. We don’t know how old he is but he is a middle-aged bird in good health. Oh, and he has the largest crest of all the cockatoos we have. It is a thing of beauty.
Phantom came to us 5 years ago due to his Dad having to be taken to emergency. The hotel called us and asked us if we would come and pick up 20-year-old Phantom. We have held him as a hardship boarder for all these years hoping he and Dad could be reunited. Unfortunately, it isn’t going to happen. Phantom is looking for a new Dad to spend time watching TV, doing dishes, preparing food, hanging out, and being best buds with.
Papaya was bought at a bird fair for a child. As most children do, that child grew up and went away. Papaya is only 13 years old and looking to be in a home that will commit to her. She hasn’t been worked with much for a while so she will want someone prepared to earn her trust.
We received a call from a concerned neighbor right before Christmas that several animals were abandoned in a house and had been there for some time. One of them was a little cockatiel. We went and picked up Victor. We named him Victor because he had been victorious in surviving not only the abandonment but also his parakeet-sized cage and seed diet. He came in with lumps and bumps but the one on his wing looked serious. After visiting our vet, Dr. Julia Hill, DVM of For Pet’s Sake, he required wing amputation. He handled that very well and is eating pellet and sometimes fresh food. He is now working on making friends with people. Do you have room in your home and heart for Victor, the amputee? He won’t want to be part of a home that is extremely noisy and loud. Loving him will be easy.
Kojak is a stunning SC. He has been in one home with a menagerie of other birds of whom he did not participate with. He is a mature bird that just wants to hang out and watch tv or in front of a window.
Kiaya lost his home due to a new job, relocation, and a change to an apartment. Kiaya seems to be responsive to men but may be open to some women. He really needs a good friend. He deserves someone who is interested in developing a trusted relationship with him to open up to his own life joy.
Tori is a sweet and loving bird who saw his last mom through breast cancer, chemotherapy, and some scary times. He isn’t able to be with her anymore and has had time to mourn the loss. He wants a companion to bond with again that is most likely a female. Tori would like someone who understands his nature of being territorial over his companion and friends. He is a great bird that would like to grow old in his last home.
Giacomo Bob had a dad that loved him very much. His dad died. Giacomo missed his dad very much and for a long time. He is ready to meet another gentleman who will be best buddies with him. He is fine hanging out, singing songs from the Sound of Music, mocking my sneezes, and just being a cute guy. Very unassuming and pretty darned special. He will make anyone an engaging companion.
Jerry is a friend to Bleu. Jerry was obtained on a whim and started off as Jenny. Jerry was quite young when he came in but was not interested in meeting people but was interested in other lovebirds. So we introduced him to Bleu to see how the boys would do. Bleu was quick to take Jerry under his wing and hang out with him. Jerry is a lovely lovebird who is very shy. A bit nervous, we are careful when we are cleaning his cage and switching out toys. Send Jerry a gift from his Amazon Wishlist to brighten his day!
