Bird Adoption is when the bird officially becomes the property of the new owner and as such you will understand that we take this process very seriously indeed. Our process of identifying and accepting someone as a potential adopter is stringent and we have high standards. This is only fair on the bird and on the owner who has had to, often through painful circumstances, had to offer their bird up for adoption. You would expect nothing less if it were your own bird being adopted.
 
To be considered as a potential adopter, please download and print the Application Form and return it to us at the address on the Contacts page. We will review it and get in touch to arrange for a home visit.
 
After adoption we will make further contact with you to ascertain that the bird is happy and healthy and that you are comfortable with the new arrival.
 
Note: the Application Form is in Microsoft Word format.

Cockatoo, Medium Sulphur Crested
(Male)


"Monroe" is a beautifully feathered Medium Sulphur Crested Cockatoo with lots of personality and a mind of his own. He is a very special bird, whose placement we are pursuing in cooperation with the Wasatch Avian Education Society (Utah).

Currently Monroe is being fostered in Nevada. He is a retired performance bird, and he will be a delight in the right situation. He is, however, prone to jealousy, which can lead to aggression. He seems to prefer male humans, but he gets along with other birds.

Unfortunately, since his performing days, Monroe has had 6 homes in 6 years. In each instance Monroe picked out one favorite family member (usually the male of the house), and he became aggressive with other members of the household. Monroe is loving and affectionate, but he will test limits. Though he likes light-duty social situations and going out and about with his favorite human, his jealousy with a second person in the house may remain a concern. We believe Monroe would be best placed in a single-person (preferably male) household, where he can enjoy life as a one-man bird, though the person may not necessarily be a one-bird man. While he is generally a calm bird and not excessively vocal, Monroe is very alert to changes in his environment. Someone with large parrot (and specifically cockatoo) experience is preferable.

Health screening was normal.

ADOPTION FEE $250

 


Blue and Gold Macaw, (Male)


Shown here right after a bath, Louie-Louie is a handsome blue and gold macaw estimated to be approximately 30 years old. A one-time pet shop pet, he was then a breeder and more recently retired into pethood again. He is an "experienced" bird, and though he does talk, he's otherwise relatively quiet for a macaw. He has a very pleasant attitude, but being somewhat new to his status as a pet the second time around, he's still a bit to himself. His foster family is working on that. A wing injury within the last year or so has left him with a stiff wing, but he gets around quite well. Following a beak reshaping (which he may need periodically), he's getting back in the groove of self-grooming. Because of his injury, however, he may always need just a little help with his preening. His appetite is great, and he likes to try new things. He also likes to be part of the family and he is very alert and observant. His foster family says that he watches food preparation with such interest that it's almost as though he's trying to learn how to cook! Louie will be wonderful in a loving home that understands he's a very special bird with special needs. All health testing returned normal.

Adopted.

However, her prior owners were not convinced that they were giving Molly the attention she needed, and she had become rather vocal. Molly is quite sweet and enjoys being with her human flock.

Ideally, she would be placed in a home where she could remain a flighted pet. Her diet is somewhat limited, and her foster parents are working on improving her eating habits.

African Grey

“Webster” so-named for her extensive vocabulary, is a 33 year-old female Congo African Grey, whose main person, a man, died approximately 9 years ago. The man’s wife no longer feels that she can offer Webster the attention and quality of life that Webster deserves.  It is obvious that Webster has been loved a lot, and she is quite affectionate once you get to know her, though typical of most African Greys, she is quite wary at first. Very recently, Webster plucked her feathers, but we believe this to have been episodic and are working with her toward feather restoration and weight gain. She wolf whistles and blows kisses, loves to dance, says “hello,” when the phone rings, and “Come on in” when the doorbell rings, among other things. She is accustomed to a pelleted diet, supplemented with fruits and vegetables and a high-quality seed mixture. Webster comes with two cages—a beautiful play-top cage and one that is more a nighttime or carrying cage—and her favorite toys. Webster’s health screening results indicated the presence of e-coli, for which she is being treated, but were otherwise normal.

Adoption fee, ADOPTED.


Yellow Naped Amazon
Kauai (pronounced “Kah-why”) is a DNA sexed male, yellow-naped Amazon, approximately 9 years old. His owners have had some life changes and no longer feel that they are able to afford him the attention he needs and deserves. Kauai talks and sings snippets of several favorite songs at times; he also engages in conversational chatter. Kauai has lived in a mixed flock, though has his own cage. Typical of male Amazons, Kauai is a rather confident bird that would likely prove a handful for someone without previous Amazon experience. His previous owner describes him as a “crown prince,” if not the king. He loves to chew, and must be kept well supplied. He likes “out” time, and will grant himself leave if his cage is not secured. Though fascinated by the female voice, he seemed to prefer being handled by the man of the house. His feather is excellent, probably as the result of his excellent diet of pellets, cooked food, seed and fresh fruits and veggies daily. Kauai comes with an appropriately sized cage. He has had regular vet checks; however his rehoming vet check is pending.

Adoption fee, ADOPTED


Blue and Gold Macaw
 

 Whoopi Goldbird is a 10-year old DNA-sexed male blue and gold macaw, whose owners no longer feel able to give Whoopi the time and attention he deserves.

Whoopi is handsome and in excellent feather. He has cohabited with other birds, all in separate cages; he was the largest bird in the flock. Whoopi is accustomed to an excellent diet of pellets, cooked food, seed and fresh fruits and vegetables daily, and a fairly good variety of “people food.” He enjoys many different kinds of nuts. Whoopi enjoys shower baths. He comes with a beautiful cage that he quite likes. He has had regular vet checks; however his rehoming vet check is pending.

Black Headed Caique
Kabuki is 9 year old DNA-sexed female black-headed caique that has lived in the same home since she was a baby. Her owners, who felt that they could no longer give her the time and attention she deserved, felt that it would be best to rehome Kabuki. Like most caiques, she is very animated, playful and confident. Her previous owner describes her as "ridiculously fearless." She has lived with other birds, several of which were much larger than she. Kabuki is in perfect feather and enjoys frequent showers with a spray bottle, but sometimes plucks her leg feathers seasonally. She is accustomed to an excellent diet of pellets, cooked food, seed and fresh fruits and vegetables daily. She enjoys peanuts and cracked almonds as treats. She has had regular vet checks throughout her entire life. Though she does not have an extensive vocabulary, Kabuki says a few things and likes to chatter, especially in the morning to greet the world. She can get very intense about her toys, and one of her enjoyments is “cruising,” especially on countertops. Kabuki comes with a very nice cage that has been her home for her entire life. Kabuki's rehoming vet check is pending.

African Grey
Yoohoo is a 10-year old DNA-sexed female African Grey, who hails from Hawaii. She has been in one home throughout her entire life.

Her owners no longer feel that they are able to give Yoohoo the time and attention she deserves. Yoohoo, who comes with a nice cage, has lived in a mixed flock. Clearly, she’s an “experienced” bird, who is well behaved when allowed outside of her cage.

Quaker Parakeet

 TuTu is a 9-year old DNA-sexed female normal Quaker parakeet, whose owners do not feel that they are any longer able to give her the time and attention she deserves. She has known only one home. In recent years, TuTu has begun to pluck the feathers on her chest seasonally. Otherwise, she is a very handsome girl, who is quite content to sit on top of her cage at times throughout the day. However, TuTu can fly, and she will fly if even just a few of her feathers grow back, so she must be supervised carefully during time out of her cage. TuTu has an excellent diet of pellets, cooked food, seed and fresh fruits and veggies daily. She does talk a little, when she’s in the mood, and she can also be coquettish. Though she has others, her favorite toy is a teddy bear that she has had for her entire life. TuTu comes with a generously sized cage that has been her home for her entire life.
