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 when 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 reserve the right to refuse any adoption, for any reason.

Reggie

Reggie is actually Regina, but she doesn't know the difference, or care. Reggie is a female blue & gold macaw in her late teens or early 20's. As you can see, Reggie is naked. Due to the length of time the plucking went on, she will be naked for the rest of her life. She obviously has no shame over it, and neither should her next human.

This girl has a strong personality and is particular about who she likes. If she likes you, she likes you, and if she doesn't, there is no changing her mind, that is unless she changes it herself.

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.

Jake

Jake or Jakey is a 25 year old female Harlequin Macaw. The Harlequin Macaw is a hybrid between the Blue & Gold Macaw and the Greenwing Macaw. Jake has had two homes, but was with her last home for 20 years.

This beautiful girl has a big personality and a good vocabulary. With a little coaxing she could probably learn a few more. Jake says "Hello" when a phone rings, "Hi", "Hi Jake", "Stop", "Quack, Quack", "What", "What's Up" and she likes to rock back and forth and go "Rawr". She can be cheeky and open her food doors, so it's best to keep them secure.

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.

Iggy & Bowser - ON HOLD


These Caique brothers are available for adoption, and they do go together. Their cage is included. These two have a definite preference for men, but it doesn't hurt to meet them anyway. You never know how they will interact, and they might change their mind. However, these two would not be a good choice for a family with children.. Iggy and Bowser share their cage at night, but too much time together during the day, and they tend to agitate one another. They will need a lot of space to do their own thing.

Max


Max is a 20 something male hybrid Amazon. He's a mix between the blue fronted and yellow naped. Max has a good diet of cooked foods, fresh fruit and vegetables as well as
.a mixture of nuts, pellets, and seeds.

This boy does not care for men, and has a reputation as a biter. It will require a lot of patience to win him over. He's a beautiful bird and worth the effort.

Sugar - ON HOLD

Sugar is a 29 year old Umbrella Cockatoo. She has had 3 homes and was originally a breeder. Sugar is sweet natured, steps up when asked, entertains herself with toys, but she does not like children. . She does not fly, and she has a bit of a vocabulary that includes I Love You, Be Quiet, What are you doing?, and Rocco!

Mickey Mouse

Mickey Mouse is a 16 year old Goffins Cockatoo and presumed to be female. Mickey is a chatty girl and asks “what are you doing?” pretty often. She steps up when asked, plays with toys, and tolerates other birds. Mickey can be cage aggressive and has a history of biting. This isn’t very unusual for a cockatoo, but she can’t be adopted by someone who does not have cockatoo experience. Her diet consists of ZuPreem fruit pellets, a blend of fruit and nut treats as well as a basic seed mix. She also enjoys her daily bowl of chop. Mickey loves to bathe in her water dish and a few times it looked like she was trying to drown herself in it. Not long after she tried to bathe herself in her chop dish and make herself a mess. Come see this crazy girl today.
It's a jungle in there!
