We have a stunning male Alexandrine Parrot, very gentle and loves to give kisses. We have no other details at this time as the owner is in the hospital and the birds have been cared for by neighbors. They are trying to get more information to us. Further information to follow. We have been asked to place these parrots in new homes.

Spunky – Umbrella Cockatoo

Nancy Daniels — Mon, 21 Feb 2011 01:14:33 +0000

Spunky is a 22 year old female Umbrella Cockatoo. Spunky prefers men but can be handled by women as well and also appears to tolerate children well provided they aren’t running or yelling near her. She is also accustomed to other birds and other kinds of pets. Spunky has a huge vocabulary and is an excellent talker but like many ‘toos, she has plucked her belly and legs naked – she does however tend to feather up again once a routine is established. Perhaps most significant is that early in her life, Spunky was exposed to serious domestic violence and will need a patient, caring owner who will show her compassion and understanding when she repeats some of the awful things she has heard. For this reason, she may be best suited to a home without very young children.

Cracker – Goffins Cockatoo

Nancy Daniels — Sun, 30 Jan 2011 03:31:53 +0000

Cracker is 15 yrs old and arrived as a plucker. He’s playful and friendly. We were told he doesn’t like men but he really seems to have an affection for the men around here. His feathers are starting to come back. We aren’t sure if they will all come back but we feel he should be able to get the majority back.

Otis – Male Eclectus

Nancy Daniels — Sun, 09 Jan 2011 03:48:32 +0000

Otis is a male Eclectus who is approximately fifteen years old. He has a history of metal poisoning but has been healed for a number of years now. He does have residual plucking issues as a result of the original metal poisoning – he has feathered up on occasion but will always struggle with feather damaging behaviours. He is an awesome bird and is very friendly and sociable. He is also VERY smart and loves to play games and learn new things.

Castille – Eastern Rosella

Nancy Daniels — Tue, 14 Dec 2010 02:59:05 +0000

Castille is an absolutely stunning six year old Eastern Rosella. Sex unknown, Castille is an absolutely beautiful representation of her species – well cared for and in excellent health and feather. Rosellas are aviary birds, which means they are rarely hand tame, and Castille is no different. She does not like to be handled but is otherwise very easygoing. Great for someone who is looking for a splash of colour in their lives.
