  • TUFFY

    Tuffy is a 27 year old male Yellow-nape. He can be super snuggly when he has you alone, but like most amazons there is the occasional oops bite. He becomes aggressive when he is around other birds so he will need to be in a single bird home. Tuffy is very territorial of his cage.

  • PONGO

    Pongo is a male blue-front of unknown age, it’s likely he is on the older side though. His partner Nemo needed daily medications and handling, so ended up separated. They have both adapted very well to being apart and they seem to want to stay separated long term.

    Pongo is not tame, will step on a stick. He lived in an outside aviary for most of the year in his previous home and really thrives when he has lots of room to climb and fly. He's a fairly laid back bird who doesn't really have much interest in being tame with people. He enjoys being in a home with other birds, though.

  • PICKLES

    Pickles is a 31 year old male Blue-Front Amazon. He was adopted in 2018 after only a week of being here because he was not doing well at the rescue. He came from an awful home originally and was never treated right, which meant Pickles became extremely neurotic. He doesn’t like new toys, perches, and is picky about his food. He has a few things that we know he does well with, but change in general is tough for him. He’s never really been handleable though he likes other birds and learned to eat new foods by watching them. Pickles would be fine for most homes with the understanding that he will only be touched on his terms and his environment will need to remain very stable. He enjoys a scratch on his head, likes to talk, LOVES a warm bath, and will be a great low maintenance companion for other birds.

WALLFLOWERS

  • TYSON & HERCULES

    Tyson is an older male red-lored amazon. We don’t have much history on him, only that he was purchased in 2021 at an auction in Missouri as an “old breeding pair” with his now passed partner, Pearl. We don’t know his age and he is not particularly tame. Hercules is a male Orange Wing Amazon around 35 years old.

    After losing his partner early 2023, Tyson had a long grieving process and became rather depressed. Just recently, he accepted Hercules as his mate and they have become incredibly sweet together. Tyson likes to talk, whistle, and sing, and Hercules likes to scream into the void when he’s in the mood. Neither are particularly tame-though Herkie can step onto a stick pretty easily. He used to be hand tame but has now lost most of his vision and tends to bite at random shadows, meaning he’s too unpredictable to hold confidently. Tyson CAN step onto a stick, but would rather run away. He needs a lot of work on that.

    This lovely pair are great birds that want to show someone that, and have never really had the chance to get the attention they should have all these years.

    Special needs, Hercules is BLIND

  • NEMO

    Nemo is a male Southern Mealy of unknown age though it’s likely he is on the older side. Nemo has been in MANY homes in his life and really deserves a final place to live out his days in happiness. He and Pongo came in cage mates but are currently in separate cages since Nemo needed daily medications and handling. They have both adapted very well to being apart and they seem to want to stay separated long term. Nemo will step on a stick and get pets when he feels like it. So far he has been stepping onto our hands quite nicely, as long as you're not trying to pull him away from something he really wants. He used to live in an outside aviary for most of the year in his previous home. One thing to note is that he can be incredibly noisy. If something busy happens, he tends to start whining. Nemo totally loves baths, though, and that can calm him down some.

  • BABY

    Baby is a 14 year old male Yellow-nape Amazon. We are still evaluating him, but he is typically extremely scared at first meeting and doesn't adapt to new situations well. Over time he’s become much more friendly, enjoys talking and having his head scratched a bit. When he was a baby, something spooked him and he became skittish after that point. He doesn't seem to care about other birds much but we think being around others would be good for him for his confidence. He really just needs a quiet home with someone dedicated to bringing him out of his shell.

  • MADISON

    Madison is a female Yellow-nape Amazon of unknown age, but over 15. So far, she likes to sing, talk, and be looked at. She used to come out of the cage a lot for the previous owner, but absolutely hated her husband. Madison could dislike all men, but we will have to give her some time to settle in to see her true personality and preferences. So far though, Madison is great with Mike and likes to go riding around on a shoulder. She tends to get overstimulated when handled too much and may get a little unpredictable, as most YNAs can be. She has some minor liver concerns on bloodwork but has been treated and is awaiting a recheck to clear her. She is doing really well at this point.

CUDDLEBUGS

  • PASCAL

    This beautiful petite (640g) Mealy Amazon was an imported bird, probably wildcaught. For an WC bird he is totally darling… really likes women and Enjoys a scratch on the head. He will step up for women pretty readily but is cautious about men. Pascal also came from the It Takes a Village transfer, the last of 7 and like the others, he shows evidence of chronic respiratory distress but will likely be fine with clean air in the future. He does have some plucking on his neck, back, and rump. This could improve now that he is no longer living in a stressful and neglectful home. He likes to go on mischievous adventures, so needs to be supervised around other birds. He’s also become VERY noisy, thinks he’s a crow. He shouldn’t be in a home with shared walls.

  • SPROUT

    Sprout is a 16 year old female Yellow-nape Amazon. She's still getting used to the ins and outs of daily life here at the rescue. So far, she's skittish but coming around to us. She can step up to people she decides she trusts, which seems to be women over men. She can be rowdy around other female Amazons but doesn't give the boys the time of day. She accepts pets on her own terms, but it'll take a while for her to be okay with that. Overall she seems to be a pretty well adjusted bird who will be a fun companion.

WILDLINGS

  • BOGEY

    Bogie is a 23 year old male Double Yellowhead. He hates all women, and likes some men. Other people work him up, but when he is alone he likes to spend time “cuddling” with his favorite man. He is placed in this category because, despite occasionally enjoying pets, he is still a very advanced bird to handle.

  • PAPA

    Papa is a male Blue front, at least 30 years old. He is wildcaught and wants to stay wild. He talks to the other amazons, but would prefer to be left alone and be a look-don’t-touch bird.
