Adoptions

Life changes. Divorce, illness, a death in the family, a new baby, or a move can throw life into chaos. What happens with your parrot if your job takes you out of the country? Will the country you're moving to let you bring the parrot with you? Will it have to stay in quarantine for many months, away from you and everyone else it knows? Quaker parrots are illegal to own in 10 states. What happens if you have to move to one of those states for work? Many parrots have very long lives, so what happens to them when you reach a point where you need assistance taking care of yourself? It's something to think about and a hard decision to make. In most circumstances, we can help you with that. We've been in business since 1995. In that time, some of the birds that we sold early on have made their way back to us as their owners have gotten older. Even though we are not a rescue, we are happy to assist you in finding your feathered friend a home when or if the need arises.

Past Adoptions

Jake

Jake or Jakey is a 25-year-old female Harlequin Macaw.

This beautiful girl has a big personality and a good vocabulary. She can be cheeky and open her food doors, so it's best to keep them secure. Jake has a definite preference for men. In her last home, she was well loved, but unfortunately her favorite human passed away. She has done OK with some women who have visited her, but her best option would be a single man or a couple. An adoption by a single woman would not be in her best interest.


The adoption process requires multiple visits over the course of at least 2 weeks before the bird can go home with you. We look for the interaction between the bird and the prospective owner. It's important that the bird can form a bond with you and if the bird makes it clear that it does not like you, then the adoption will not take place.

There is a reasonable adoption fee associated with each bird.

We don't do this for profit. The adoption fee covers our expenses on veterinarian care, transportation, and food. We occasionally get comments that multiple visits aren't convenient for the person who is looking to adopt a bird or it just doesn't fit into their schedule. We aren't concerned with human convenience, we're looking out for what's best for the bird. Simply put, if you aren't willing to put in the effort, then adopting a bird might not be a good idea for you.

Keiki

Keiki - pronounced Kai - Key

Keiki is a 7 year old Sunday Conure - he is a hybrid between a Sun conure and a Jenday conure. Keiki can be nervous around strangers but once he warms up to you he is very sweet. He would do best in a calm environment because he can get over stimulated easily. If you know this family of conures, then you know they can be loud. Keiki is no exception. WIth this in mind, a non-negotiable condition of his adoption is that he cannot go to someone who lives in an apartment.

Shuna

Meet Shuna, the sun conure. Shuna is in her early 20s. Her first human passed away after twenty years of spoiling her, and then she moved in with the owner's son.

Shuna does not like children. Unfortunately, this is a non-negotiable condition of her adoption.

Ruby & Max

Ruby & Max are 11-year-old brother and sister Goffin Cockatoos. They have been together all their lives and must be adopted together.

Cockatoo adoptions aren't available to first-time bird owners.

Blue & Gold Macaw

Age & Sex Unknown

Macaw pair for adoption

They are deeply bonded, but they do not share a cage, and they absolutely MUST be adopted together. This is not negotiable.

These two macaws came to our care after their owner passed away suddenly. Unfortunately, the friends who brought them to us didn't know anything about them. We don't know their ages or names. They lost their human and ended up in a strange place, surrounded by people they didn't know. Who can blame them for being terrified? We don't know what they ate before, but right now they're eating chop, fruit pellets, and a mix of nuts, dried fruit, and seeds. They are both eating very well.

The blue & gold will step up and come out of the cage, and is a little friendlier with some people. It took a little more work to get the harlequin to come out, but now it spends the days out on a tree with the other macaws. This has been a great help in them relearning how to perch and gaining better balance. One afternoon, we put the harlequin on a perch near another employee who was interacting with their own macaw. The employee’s macaw was standing on their crossed leg and having his head scratched. The harlequin was fascinated. We could tell that it really wanted that kind of interaction, but didn’t know how to get it. With patience and work to rebuild trust, we believe this bird has great potential to be an amazing companion.

Stop by and visit these babies, and maybe you can offer them a great home.
