In 2018, we received a call one day that stated “come and get this bird or we are leaving it on the side of the road!” CoCo’s parents had been evicted from their home and they were headed out without her. Volunteers tag teamed to go and retrieve her to safety at the rescue in a picnic basket that she couldn’t stand up in. Which wouldn’t have helped her anyway as she was unable to stand up straight due to her feet. They had been broken awhile ago. The previous owner did state she came from an abusive home where they broke her feet so she wouldn’t keep getting down off her perch. We don’t know her age but we do know that she is a young female. Radiographs show evidence of great vessel mineralization; DJD at multiple joint spaces; fracture of ventral aspect of proximal phalanx, major digit on...
What a lovely little girl. She is a big fan of men and being a companion to one. She is currently suffering with hormonal challenges that she receives deslorelin implants for. She may also have ABV. We can’t do proventricular: keel score ratios in Eclectus because their GI tract is more dilated than other birds but her GI tract looks very dilated (rather than rely on tests that more often read negative). Radiographs show changes consistent with probable cardiovascular disease/atheroslerosis. Her great vessels are prominent and dilated and it appears she may have some vessel mineralization. She is also on VetOmega to help her with the proper fatty acids. She is only 11 years old. Abby is on medical watch now and needs support like every birdie else.
Albert is a social mate bonded U2. Albert has been with us for several years. He has mate bonded with the CEO and is very close to her. Albert also suffers from PDD or what is now referred to as ABV (Avian Borna Virus). He is front and center to keep a close eye on his weight, changes in eating, drinking, sleeping. He is under a vet’s care and oversight to ensure managed care. With close management, this disease is managed currently. His quality of life is extremely high so we keep him within the rescue, with his friendships with the volunteers and staff, and keep a vigilant watch. If you would like to send him a toy, see his Amazon Wishlist to keep his days and beak busy!
Dali is such a great guy! He is interested, engaged, wants to learn, wants to see new things, he is still learning how to do new things without becoming too stressed. Great temperament, attitude, and playful nature.
A beautiful lovebird, flighted, and busy! Apollo has a friend named Helios. They are bonded. They are a joy to watch, learn from, enjoy, given flight time just to be themselves. Apollo takes treats gently. If you can offer a pair of lovebirds a peaceful home, this pair is for you!
Beecher was found at Beecher Elementary School. She was never reunited with her parents. So she is looking for a new home. She is a gentle, sweet-tempered, natured conure. She enjoys her baths! She is hoping to meet a person that she can feel herself with again. We want her to be happy so if you think you can make her happy, submit an application.
Flighted, happy, independent little one
Bogie is a handicapped Eclectus unable to extend either stifle (knee) joint. He is also resistant to the extension of the hock and toes prior to sedation (which means there is pain when he does). He has a mild heart murmur as well. We rarely cage him but encourage him to walk the rescue to build up muscle tone. He is afraid of towels at this time. We are working on getting him used to them. He is independent and likes to do his own thing. Bogie is not a cuddler or a breeder bird. He is a nice bird and doesn’t want to be at odds with people or the environment.
