Ibby lost her mom to a car crash, then lost her mom’s best friend’s foster home, then lost her young mate. She has dealt with loss in her life. She experiences life not with sadness but with interest, curiosity, touch, flight, and play. She is not like any parrot you have encountered. Ibby is a kind and sweet bird and generous with her affection.
A gentle, loving little girl who wants a companion to love, cherish, and call her own. She trains really well and we are careful not to spoil her. She will make a great companion to someone who understands that conures have a mind and will of their own with territorial tendencies. They need to fly off energy, not be given high-energy foods, keep to pellets, train, train, train, and love.
Our floof of zebra finches are our hospice kids. They came in from a bad hoarding, overcrowded, and rampant breeding situation. That means they all suffer from tumors, cysts, growths, etc. Our vet says they are in no pain that she can detect so we are letting them live together as hospice patients naturally and without stress as can be possible. Send them a little something to keep their enclosure fun and inviting to play, comfort, and rest.
Gabby is our resident Goffin’s rescued in 2003. She nearly died of the complications of self-mutilation she endured due to pain of body and spirit. She watched all the kids grow up and leave home, and then the parents started to travel and leave her behind. No one really understood what that was doing to a flock being as loving as Gabby. She has become my best mate. She also helps other G2s adjust and she teaches them how to eat pellets and chop. She is one of our gentlest birds ever. One day you might meet her when we are out and about.
Eric was a found cockatiel not able to “escape” very well due to his distended crop. We took him to the vet and found out that he has AGY. Avian gastric yeast infection is a bird disease caused by a yeast, Macrorhabdus sp, that causes gastrointestinal problems. Since AGY is contagious, we took him off campus into foster care. He needs to be in a home without any other birds. This condition will never go away just be managed. He isn’t sickly or to be pitied. He has soft poop as a result. He is just as gentle as can be and he is always aware of his environment. He loves to whistle and sit with you for some head scritches, watching tv, hanging out. He has the best temperament and floofen chops! You will be delighted with him as your companion.
A whole lota bird! Dundee is 25 years young with a playful spirit and desire to bond with a companion. His mom and he were close. She got sick and went into hospice so he has been mourning the loss of her for a year now. He is ready to meet a new companion. He seems to enjoy women but we don’t apply hard rules to parrot’s choices unless we know absolutely that they are fearful of males/females. He does like to train and impress. He comes with a 48inch wide play top cage. He also likes to be read to so send him a soft book from his Amazon Wishlist.
A mature and mellow B&G who will yell at the other birds to be quiet. He helps a new macaw settle into the routine and helps lead flock behavior. He really loves one-on-one attention, stand time, and fresh foods. He shows typical B&G macaw behaviors so we use him a lot for training. We call him curmudgeonly but he just likes things done right and well. Send him a little something something from his Amazon Wishlist so he has something new to work over.
His mother died shortly after hatching the eggs and they were not doing well with dad, Devito. Davey came to us with his other 3 flock mates. Davey is a very curious lovebird full of “busy” and plays with his toys and siblings. The siblings live together in a large cage so they continue to have companionship. They have not been hand-tamed.
Bleu is a special lovebird. He lives with Jerry, his roommate of several years now. They get on very well because Bleu takes care of little Jerry. Bleu was adopted but then he was changed over to seed. That caused him to have medical issues so he was returned to the rescue. He lives in comfort with his friend. We hope to put him in a lovebird enclosure to ramp up flight activity once we get one.
