Hello, Parrot Forums!

[SydneyJoLynn]

Hi Parrot Forums members!
My name is Sydney, and I have been in love with anything with feathers since I was little.

To date, I've been the primary care taker of three budgies (two from 1997-2004, and another from 2002-2008) and one green cheek over the last sixteen years. At this very moment, I'm still in a state of complete heartache over the loss of my green cheek.

Despite the tragic loss I had, I decided to take the opportunity of being an empty nester to go and find a needy bird through the Florida Parrot Rescue, a double yellow headed amazon. I've extremely excited to meet him, and I have come to the forum seeking out more knowledge about my potential new feathered friend.

Can't wait to talk with other members here!
Until we do,

Sydney

Hello Sydney and welcome!
I am so sorry for the loss of your Green Cheek It is so hard to lose a beloved friend.
I think it is wonderful that you are taking in a bird in need and look forward to hearing more about him/her. I feel sure that even if you and the DYH don't click for some reason, that you will find one who does in no time.
So glad you joined us!

Welcome! I hope you enjoy your time on this forum! Its a great forum!
I am so sorry about your loss.
I LOVE that parrot rescue! I see them on Facebook and I have always wanted to adopt from there but I live in Washington....

Florida Parrot Rescue has been an absolute DREAM to work with. They were very prompt and responded to my adopting/fostering application very quickly. So far, I think I submitted the application on Wednesday night, was in contact for a home visit on Thursday. Had the home inspection Friday, and now I'm meeting Lorenzo (the DYH) tomorrow!

Here's the adoption profile of the cutie.

I will be sure to let you all know how tomorrow goes. And you are right, Terry. I'll be sure to find a great friend who needs a home should tomorrow not go as well as anticipated.

 

[Terry57]

Lorenzo is stunning! I am keeping my fingers crossed that it works out between the two of you
Please update tomorrow on how everything goes and take pics if you can!

Hi Sydney, best wishes with Lorenzo!

I'm very sorry to hear about the loss of your GCC.

Hello Sidney, and welcome! Lorenzo is a very handsome guy and sounds like quite a character. I'm guessing you'll make a friend for life on your first visit. I'm glad you are giving a bird that needs a loving home a chance.

So sorry for the loss of your GCC.

Lorenzo is gorgeous! I bet he'll be happy to go to such a loving home, welcome to the forum!

 

[SydneyJoLynn]

I am now in possession of Lorenzo, and he is a GREAT bird.
Right now he is getting used to his new home.

Hope all goes well . There are many Amazon owners here for support too!
