Tiki is a 20 year old female “Maui Sunset” macaw, a hybrid of a red front and blue & gold. She is very small at 580g and is a curious and friendly bird. She is very high energy and needs just the right amount of stimulation. She can be nippy at times, as expected with a hybrid, but she just needs some structure. Her very first home was extremely neglectful and she was rescued by her owners. They’ve been able to provide a good safe place for her up to this point, and we’d like to help her control her plucking. Any adopter will need macaw experience due to her mental needs, and be willing to continue her rehabilitation. She can be massively snuggly when she likes you! She cannot go to a home with DOGS.

Vincey is a 30 year old female Blue and Gold. She is spunky, friendly when she knows you, and adaptable. She can be very vocal when she wants, likes to watch the other birds from her roost, and seems to like most people that treat her well. She likes to say hi and yell, then come to you on her own terms. If left unattended, she will go visit other birds and look for her person. Her strong personality can rub other birds the wrong way and start a bicker battle, so caution will have to be taken if going to a home with other macaws. Due to her propensity to be easily irritated, we wouldn’t recommend her go to a home with any small children. She keeps herself busy making dinosaur noises and will warm up to individuals over time. She has a congenital cataract of sorts in her left eye but it doesn’t seem to affect her vision.

Paco is a male blue and gold who is at least 43 years old. He was a wildcaught bird, so we don't know exactly how old he is, but his owner had him for 43 years. Paco takes some time to warm up to new people, but it really doesn't take too long to make a snuggly bird out of him. He's looking for a nice easy place to live out his days and get doted on. His entire life he has lived cageless, but doesn't seem to mind being in one or out. He is surprisingly well adjusted and will be great for someone looking for a bit of an older bird! Paco does seem to prefer a single person at a time, readily shifting affections to people he deems friendly. He hasn’t learned how to step on an arm and will instead try and feed you, so will need a little work on that. He will instead step onto a shoulder when he is comfortable.

Magic is a female Blue and Gold Macaw, thought to be around 14. She has quite the harrowing story, having been starved in her last home and arriving at IPR near death. She made a fabulous recovery and it’s been 7 years since. Magic is a woman lover, often waving and dancing with whomever she decides she likes. She will fiercely protect that person and doesn’t like men, often going after them if she feels threatened. She likely won’t do well in a home with kids under 10. Magic also really doesn’t like sharing affections with other animals, so extra caution will have to be taken if she is to go to a home with existing birds or dogs. Magic is a lot of fun, in good health, and ready to find her perfect family again .

Captain is a shy, gentle soul that needs plenty of time to come around. He has a lot of anxiety that we are hoping to ease, plus a chronic regurgitation problem. He would do best in a quieter home, a bird or two to keep him company, and someone with experience in reserved birds. He is finally beginning to show his excited side and stepping up for people. He’s not an aggressive bird at all, and he has an old wing injury thus cannot fly.

Captain arrived regurgitating a lot. Through much trial and error, we found the main triggers are pellets (any type and size) and dry seed mix. We are now supplementing his fresh foods with peanut butter oatmeal and cooked beans/legumes. He is in much better shape than when he arrived! He plucks his sides now and then and is likely prone to developing crop infections when kept on pellets/seeds. Due to this we recommend keeping him on a probiotic (Fauna&Flora) each morning. His diet modifications are pretty manageable and we believe Captain will open right up in the proper home.

Booley is a new arrival. Her name has been shortened from “Boulanger”. So far she is quite nervous, but puts most of her trust in a single person at a time. She’s not aggressive in any way and is going to take quite a while to warm up to her people and realize she’s safe. She has lived her whole life with the same owner which is why this is such a big transition for her. Booley has been on a pretty awful seed diet with people food as treats, but is now eating seed and Harrison’s. She’s still a little picky about her veggies but has come a long way. We know Booley will be a lovely companion for somebody and might prefer women, but so far is okay with everyone here. She has never met children so we aren’t sure how she’d do with a family yet. Booley has just begun talking to people she likes, regularly asking for a cracker.

Paco is a female Scarlet Macaw in her mid 20’s. She seems to be a bit of an instigator with other birds and may benefit from being an only bird (or only big bird). Paco wants a male companion, someone who can spend plenty of one-on-one time rubbing her tongue and holding her little feet. She enjoys talking when she thinks nobody is around and wants to know if you have an apple for her? As you can see, she is quite the “bat bird” and is hanging from her cage a lot. So far, she’s only liked men and becomes very frustrated around women and children. She’ll be a good companion for a man with no kids who can dedicate plenty of time to her. She has decided, after a nice settle in period, that she really doesn’t like women and will almost always try to bite them.
