Sarah is a wild caught blue crown conure. She was imported wild and used as breeding stock. As you can see she did not adjust to captivity well, and her condition is quite poor. She has permanent folicle damage due to being allowed to pluck her feathers for years and years. She will never be "pet quality," and will remain in our care and sancturary for what life is left to her.
She loves to be outside on top of her cage on the playstand, and she loves watching the other birds. Sarah is obsessed with her ladder, or rather shredding ladders! However Sarah can become suddenly highly aggressive so she will be remaining here with us.
Petrie: Finschs Conure
Sponsored by: (Put your name here)Finsch's conure's are pretty rare in US aviculture, so petrie will be staying at the rescue to protect her bloodline in US aviculture and for educational purposes. The Finschs conure has been very hybridized here in the US, mainly with the Cherry Headed Conure and the Mitred Conure. We do not endorse the hybridization of parrots and believe that natural bloodlines are precious commodities as nearly 70% of all parrot species are endangered to one degree or another in their wild environments; making bloodline preservation extremely important to the species as a whole.

Patty and Nibbles (Patogonian Conures):
Sponsored by: (Your Name Here)
Patty and Nibbles are two wonderful Patagonian Conures. Those of us who know patty's know they are very loud, but incredibely graceful and beutiful birds. These two have two strikes against them being able to find a forever home. Really three. They are lound, there are two of them (bonded pair), and they are actively infected with the Bornevirus. Our vet tells us they have likely been infected since birth, and the stress of their losing their homes has allowed this virus the oppurtunity to surface. At this time both birds are quentined in a members home- away from other bird, and they are both in need on continous medical treatment with the drug Celebrex. If you would like to help us help them, please consider sponcoring them today.
Rebe (Mitred Conure):
Reba is a wonderful, but painfully scared and phoebic Mitred Conure. Bio and photo coming soon.
Colby (Blue and Gold Macaw):
Colby is a very young (under a year) very plucked baby macaw. There is evidence that he has been physically abused, has a permently ruptured air sac, and a couple useless toes. He is very, very sweet when he bounds to someone, is very needy and still being confort fed. We hope to put him up for adoption some time in the future.
Beethoven: African Grey Parrot
Sonsored by: (Your Name Here)
Beethoven is a wonderful guy when you get to know him, but he deals with some very heavy fear issues. It took him a very long time to settle into the rescue and required a kind of cage size happy hut to be created for him. Beethoven doesn't step up for stick or hand yet and he has some challenges to face before he will be any where near ready to go into a regular home environment. We hop to see him settled nicely into a home that would be a perfect fit for him someday.
Ghandi: Severe Macaw
Sponcored by: (Your Name Here)
Ghandi is a very fiesty fellow- to say the least. He is a wild caught severe macaw, and spent some part of his life in very undesirable circumstances. Him and his mate were then taken in by a loving and wonderful family where they both lived happily for some time to come. He was surrendered when after losing his mate ( a female Severe) he became suddenly very aggressive and began attacking his human flock members. He has not been the same since she died. We are keeping an eye out for a new buddy for him, and we are working on building trust and developing basic handling skills with him. At the moment he is much to aggressive and unpredictable to be considered for our adoption program. He, like many of the birds here in the rescue is in desperate need of your loving support generous donations so that may he live the best life possible.
