Sammie the Umbrella Cockatoo


Sammie is a beautiful, male Cockatoo. We do not know Sammie's age or much about his history. All we do know is that Sammie is very scared of humans. We are working with him to see if we can change this, but it will take some time and understanding. If you want to work with Sammie, you must have a lot of time and patience. He can be a bit loud, but even though we stick our hand in his cage, he will not bite. Instead, he just runs away. If you are interested in adopting Sammie, please let us know.

Kali the Umbrella Cockatoo

This is Kali the Umbrella Cockatoo. Kali is a super sweet Cockatoo, but only to women. Kali does not like men. Sorry guys. Kali is approximately 9 years old. She is on a pellet diet which is great for a Cockatoo. She also likes apples. Kali can be loud and of course, can bite. But, she is a good bird and will do good in a one bird home. If you are interested in adopting Kali, please let us know.

Sunny the Spectacled Amazon

Sunny is a Spectacled Amazon. We are not sure of his age or sex, but he is a good bird. He has never bitten anyone, but will let you know when he does or does not want to be picked up. Sunny also can be somewhat loud, but not like a Cockatoo or Macaw. He is a smaller Amazon and loves to eat fruits and vegetables. He is also on pellets. I am pretty sure he will do well in a one bird home or maybe even with a couple of birds as long as you can spend proper time with him. He is very independant, but also enjoys human loving. Please let us know if you are interested in adopting Sunny.

Kano the Quaker Parakeet

This is Kano. He (or she) is a Quaker Parakeet. He is approximately 8 years old. He is like any other Quaker in that he is very cage protective. Once you get him out, he is fine. The trick is getting him out. He is currently rooming with Mango, but the two are not bonded and can be separated. Kano will do well in a home where he is the only bird and can be held and loved on a regular basis. If you are interested in adopting Kano, please let us know.

Mango the Sun Conure


Mango is a Sun Conure who is approximately 6 years old. He is a beautiful bird but is a bit afraid of humans. Once you get him out of his cage he is ok. But, the fun is getting him out. He loves fruit and is currently on pellets so you don't have to wean him onto them. We are not sure if Mango is a boy or girl as he has never been sexed. But, I call mango a boy. I think Mango would do well in a home where he is the only bird and is shown lots of love and attention. If you are interested in adopting Mango, please contact us.

Opi the Red Bellied Parrot

This is Opi. Opi is a Red Bellied Parrot. He has been DNA sexed as a male. He is also micro-chipped for safety. He is tame, but needs some T.L.C. as he is a bit timid when it comes to being around humans. His former owner did not take him out of his cage very often due to his biting. He, however, has not bit myself or Neal. Opi was born in 2005 so he is approx 2 years old. He loves fruit and is on pellets already so you don't have to wean him onto them. Yay! Opi is a good bird and needs someone to give him a stable home with lots of love and time. Please let us know if you are interested in adopting Opi.

Lots of Birds for Adoption

Hi Everyone....

Guess what? Within the past 3 weeks, we have acquired approx 10 birds for adoption. Yes, 10! These guys really need to find loving, permanent homes. I am going to try an add photos of all of them to the blog. Hopefully, you will be able to see all these beautiful creatures.

Each one has a unique story. They are all pretty tame, although some need some T.LC. If you know of anyone who wants to adopt a bird, please keep us in mind. All of our adoptees must take one of our Pet Birds 101 class, plus fill out our Adoption Application and then have a home inspection done. There is also a small adoption fee. Not too much to do to adopt one of these great animals.

Also, we are going to try and implement a section on our web site for the former owners of these birds. We have been asked by some of the former owners to have an update page and a photo of their bird. We would like to accomodate these requests and we will try to do so.

Anyway, what a beautiful day it is to wake up and listen to the songs of a bird. We should all be thankful that we have these guys in our lives. Lets not take advantage of this, but instead, lets try to take care of them as best we can.

Have a super day everyone.
