Rojo greenwing arrived in October of 2017 from Texas. She lost her lifelong partner of 50 years in 2022 and is learning how to live without Uve. She’s spoiled with snuggles every day and enjoys sunshine in the aviary. Rojo requires twice daily medication and extra fat in her diet. She’s one of our permanent residents due to medical reasons. Rojo has extensive arthritis in her wings and feet, appearing curled. She needs adaptations in her cage because of this and careful handling. She also has chronic aspergillosis and an enlarged heart.. likely from atherosclerosis. Her owner was involved in researching the declining population of Lear’s Macaws in the 1990’s.

Holly and Trudee are a bonded mother-daughter pair of Cherry-head Conures who live their lives free flighted and ruling the Conure Condo (don’t tell Timot, though-he believes he is the boss but really it’s Trudee). These two came to us back in 2013, completely untame and having only lived in an aviary setup for breeding purposes. The owner cared for them, but developed bird fancier’s lung disease. Trudee was just 3 years old, but Holly was the woman’s last breeding bird and at the time already 14 years old. Holly remains the matriarch in the free flight aviary here and she’ll likely live out the rest of her life free until she loses her ability to fly. These girls pretty much get whatever they want, enjoy their healthy diet, and like to go visiting other birds. Newcomers have come and gone in the conure condo, but these two remain here long term.

Teegan is an interesting bird. He is a Triton cockatoo with a long history of aggression towards people and birds. Because of this, finding him a home is like finding a unicorn in a pool. It really doesn’t happen. Now, he did find a home in 2017 where he and his owner were VERY happy but the owner passed away and Teegan was forced to return to us. Since then, he hasn’t been able to find his unicorn again. Being a large male cockatoo, he needs tons of interaction and constant toy changes. He will always need this level of care and we hope to find that for him again someday. For now, the upkeep on Teegan is significant.

Rocco and Bubba are a boisterous pair of blue and gold macaws. They are available for adoption, but are long term residents that require a very special circumstance to find a home. Both lost long term mates and decided to be best buddies! Rocco and Bubba love to make noise, run around their perches, banging things around, throwing their food, and chewing everything apart. Basically, they act like wild macaws! Because of this, they are difficult to handle and aren’t the prettiest birds around. We love caring for them here, but long term/semi permanent residents like this cost quite a bit to keep up with.

Bilbo Greenwing arrived in 2014, and by all stretches of the imagination she was clinically depressed. She didn’t know what a toy was and lived in a cage so cramped she could hardly turn around. Bilbo still doesn’t play with toys that much, but she loves her boing and chews on perches now. She often flaps her wings about and plays peekaboo with anyone that walks by. She is quick with a greeting, but protective and picky about her favorite people. When she decides you’re okay, you’ve got a friend for life. Bilbo enjoys being one of our ambassador birds for presentations.

Timot is a very recognizable cherry head. Anybody who’s been here knows he likes his oatmeal containers and ruling the Conure Condo! Timot arrived in July of 2007 with a plucking problem and some fears. He can be super sweet, but decided he’d rather live wild as a free flight aviary bird, so we’ve allowed him to do what he wants and he is one of our 5 permanent residents. Timot still thinks Mike belongs to him, and will sit on his or Sarah’s shoulders when he thinks he’s gonna be getting a treat or attention. In addition to financial sponsorship, we are accepting donations of empty round oatmeal tubs. He can’t live without them and our regular source ran out. Thankfully, we supplement him with miscellaneous boxes to satisfy his urges and making our “stash” last!

Tyson and Hercules are a newly bonded pair. Tyson has a sad backstory, including being sold at an unethical exotics auction with no history and losing his partner, Pearl, early 2024. Hercules has lived a pretty normal life, except poor diet and genetics led to his vision loss and almost complete blindness at only 35 years old. These two are another pair that are technically available for adoption but are unlikely to find a home any time soon, due to neither of them being hand tame and both special needs. These two live happily together now and preen each other all day. They have arthritis and need regular monitoring from the vet. Herkie gets some minor adjustments to his cage to allow easier movement and adjustments, as well as chiropractic care.

Marley and Durango came separately, as many of our now bonded pairs did. Neither have liked people before, so it was a blessing they found each other. They need a large aviary/large cage where they can behave in whatever ways they please and are available for adoption. Most people cannot handle two large, aggressive macaws who are strongly bonded to each other so they live here until they find their very special person. Durango has some minor vision issues, a cataract in his left eye, which we don’t feel really affects his vision too much. They love to chew up toys often and both will regularly occupy their swing… Sometimes they even squeeze into the swing together in a heartwarming display of affection.

Marley and Durango are available for sponsorship for $100 a month.

Rocky and Zazu are a very rambunctious pair of hybrid Ruby macaws, which is a mix of greenwing and scarlet. These two are super entertaining, but extremely protective of each other and would love nothing more than to find a place where they can be supervised and allowed to do their own thing. Rocky and Zazu require much upkeep, as they are super-chewers and have been known to regularly dismantle their own living arrangements. A few years ago, Rocky broke his tibia and needs to be monitored now and then to ensure there isn’t any long term damage associated with the accident. Besides this minor concern, these guys are healthy but will likely be with us for a long time due to their temperament issues. We do see these often in hybrid macaws.
