Paulie is a senior bluecrown conure that arrived in 2012 with aggression issues. He’s always been pretty happy to live wild and flying free in our aviary, until 2020 when he started developing symptoms of illness. It was determined that, due to high blood pressure and corneal deposits, he would no longer be able to fly loose. He is now living in a large cage in the small bird room where he can stay visiting his conure friends, safely restrained. Paulie is on once daily medication for his blood pressure and is gradually needing more supportive care as the years go on.

Paulie can be sponsored for $60 a month.

Rojo greenwing arrived in October of 2017 from Texas. She lost her lifelong partner of 50 years this last year, and is learning how to live without Uve. She’s spoiled with snuggles and enjoys sunshine in the aviary. Rojo requires twice daily medication and extra fat in her diet. Their owner was involved in researching the declining population of Lear’s Macaws in the 1990’s.

Tyson and Pearl are newbies, having been purchased privately from an exotics auction in Missouri. These birds came in with no history and an awful diet. Upon medical examination, it was determined that they are both very old amazons with chronic health issues and disabilities.

They are a lovely pair who just want to live their lives out together in someone’s quiet home. Pearl and Tyson are available for adoption, but we don’t anticipate they will find the perfect home soon so they are available for sponsorship in the meantime to cover extensive medical care.

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. He still thinks Mike belongs to him. 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.

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.

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 femur 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.
