rescue

Hello, I rescued a Quaker Saturday and I wanted to update on her progress. She’s got severely deformed feet and since being with me these past two days I haven’t even seen her stretch her wings or flap. My cockatiel who has deformed feet, can fly around but hers is not as bad as Tofu’s...

Hello, I’ve recently come across a Quaker parrot that needs rehoming and he’s in pretty poor shape and living conditions. I definitely have the space to care for him and the knowledge however I haven’t come across a Quaker parrot before as in the Uk they seem to be pretty rare. If anyone...

[sad rescue story ahead, be warned] Hi there! About 6 months ago I picked up a scruffy little bird I decided to call Moby Dick from a rescue. I could see Moby had health issues despite the lady telling me her 'budgie-man' had given him the clear - he was floofed, swaying slightly and his toes...

Hi, I have a friend who's looking to adopt an (preferably young or handleable) African Grey that's in the Phoenix, AZ area. I've only ever had budgies and small parakeets, so I was wondering if anyone has recommended places, stores, breeders, rescues, etc. to find an African Grey? She knows it's...

Hi guys. So I currently have a Conure, I adopted him 2 months ago. We have become very close in a short amount of time. I work from home so I'm always with him when he's not asleep. He won't have it any other way lol... he screams if I leave the room for a minute. He used to have a buddy so I...

Is this? my rescued galah has been doing this weird flipping around thing and screeching when I screech 😂😂 He screeches when I yell at my kids aswell. for those that haven’t followed, echo was found in the wild with an injured leg, it’s currently broken, it doesn’t seem to bother him and he...

Greetings everyone! New to the forum with 10 years of living with parrots under my belt. All but one of my birds are rescues or rehomes having been given to me, two from our local animal control. Recent addition is a DYH amazon, beautiful girl we’re calling Bonfire. I’m worried about this bird...

Hello! Does anybody know of any reputable parrot rescues/sanctuaries in Texas? Thank you! Have a lovely day!

Hey all! I'm looking to open a bird rescue somewhere within the next 10 years and I was curious what other experienced bird owners would like to see out of a rescue?

Ok so I’m a first time bird owner of a 40 year old rescued YNA. He was a three year resident at the rescue I volunteer for and sadly everyone was afraid of him. After a few months we began an unlikely friendship and eventually I was the only one who could work with him. I took him home about...

Hi Everyone :-) I really need some guidance. I have 2 GCC's and 2 Budgies that I've had for a few years, so little experience. I would like to move up to a larger parrot that prefers me. I found an Amazon locally with some issues. Age unknown, swears like a sailor, plucks feathers, prefers...

So. Been a pet lover for many years now, and my family's a pet-loving one as well. Thought for many years about acquiring a bird of my own. Big guy; would prefer a larger bird, which pretty much narrows it down to a macaw. Hyacinthines come well-thought-of, and blue-and-golds as well. Read...

Early this year, my beloved Moluccan buddy of 35 years, Spooky, passed away of suspected heart failure. Exactly one week later, my own mother was diagnosed with heart failure. While she is fortunately still with us, she isn't in great shape. And while no bird can replace Spooky, I began...

Hello! Introducing myself! Hi Everyone! I'm so glad I found this forum! I just adopted an Orange-winged Amazon. In my eyes, it was more like a rescue. Here's the story: I have been wanting a CAG for quite some time. After some research and looking around, I found a breeder with some babies...

A week ago, I rescued a 10 yo female Jenday Conure from a lady online. I was told she'd step up, was friendly, and preferred men. That, besides her age and gender, is all I was told. She refused to let me come over to meet the bird, which I found understandable given internet stranger, but I...

Ok so I live in Yonkers,NY and my neighbor across the street left their quaker outside in the cold. As an human being who actually cares about animals, I quickly brought him/her into my home. Now I know nothing about parrots or owning one. So I've been calling around all day today to find a...

The woman who had them for three months got kittens, and said kittens would probably eat the birds, so she wanted to get rid of them. They were on a seed-only diet (I know that's bad) Can I give them carrots? Broccoli? What else? ALso, they DO have a large cage. One, however, the male, is...

We're looking to add to our flock (CAG, Conure) and want to know if its true that if you get a baby it will turn and bond to the person who spends less time with it when it was young? Both of our birds were rehomes we got through a rescue, both were for "me", both love my husband. I would like...

Wanted to share my experience adopting Smoky Blue, my first rescue birdy. After Georgie, the Severely spoiled chestnut-fronted macaw passed after an acute illness, I felt such a void. She was my girl for 20+ years! I was also concerned about Taco the Amazon; we had gotten Georgie from a pet...

To those who are curious about the horrifying past of this budgie (Snowball), see my forum post here: Might be longer than expected getting a conure - Parrot Forum - Parrot Owner's Community I attached a photo of him on top of his new cage. I had to rush and get a new one for him today because...
