I am Debbie (macaws49) 20 years ago I had homing piegons, country girl. I looked out one morning and a parrot was on ground eating with them. I ran and got my husbands welding glove and headed out. I sneak up and start to grab it. It sees me and jumps on the shoulder. Scared me to death with that beak. We were instantly in love. I watched the paper for a month and no one apprently wanted him back. It was a nanday conure. After about a week I knew why someone didn't claim him, the noise. I have been in love with parrots since. He died after about five years, the vet thought of old age. I have had parrots every since. I have a scarlet I bought at 2 weeks old, now about 12 years. Through the years I have been given many large birds that people grew tired of or that were mean. I would love them back to happy birds and find great homes for them. About 4 or 5 years ago someone brought me a B/G that was self plucking and they said very mean. About the only feathers left were a few on the wings and head. This one became so lovable and it was the only one my scarlet liked so she is now part of my family. I have 2 parakeets and 4 english keets. I want to hand raise an english so bad. Elvis, the scarlet is the boss, sunshine the B/G follows her lead. Sunshine still plucks but not nearly as bad. People don't understand bird lovers. Mine go everywhere with me. There favorite is to go camping. I cut them a small tree and they are in heaven. The one bad thing is they will not let anyone but me touch them. Glad to have found this site.

That's so great (and amazing) that you rescue unwanted birds and turn them around...A very noble task!
