Sometimes there are birds that come into the rescue who are unable to be placed into adoptive homes because of
ongoing medical needs or because of emotional and/or physical damage. While we strive to rehabilitate and
socialize all birds in our care, we will only place the birds who are stable emotionally and physically into an adoptive
homes. The birds on this page have become our house birds, and are granted sanctuary to live the rest of their
lives in the best possible environment we are able to provide them!
Linus on the left. He is old, mean and pretty much wants to be left alone.
Stormy on the right is one of the neatest birds we have. He however has some sort of
Vitamin D deficiency that we can’t seem to fix. He has been to two vets and still have no fix
for him. Until we do, he will live with us. He is on liver & vitamin supplements twice daily.
Stormy goes to senior centers with us.
Bug we took bug in at 2 weeks old. He was spay legged, impacted crop & aspirated. By
all rights he should not be here. He is an extraordinary fighter. He still walks a tad off,
and has a hunch in his back. We have to give him extra beta carotene to help his
immune system.
This is Pandora. She was used on a movie set. We purchased her from the trainer
because she just called out to me. Thank God we did. She had been starved and her
bowels were impacted with grit because that is all she had to eat most of the time. Her
story is long & truly a sad one. She still to this day, three years later, requires
medicine to help her go to the bathroom. She is also a chronic egg layer.
Keno has kidney problems due to 7 years of all pelleted diet. PLEASE, we are not
saying pellets are bad. They just cannot be the only food a bird has. He is extremely thin
and we struggle to maintain his weight. NO he does not have any diseases.
Mr.Peepers is the oldest of our troop. We guess at least 20. We got him 4 years ago
when someone called a local bird store and asked what time of day was best to release
a bird to fly south. They had taken him in when a neighbor left him abandoned in an
apartment, they were moving and couldn’t take him. He was in a horrible rabbit cage,
had pencils for perches and the food, well it wasn’t anything near good. He was and still
is extremely crippled, his wings are not even capable of flight. His feet from years on
bad perches are atrophied. He was and still is half blind most likely from poor nutrition.
Tiki this little angel came to us many years ago, she is more a personal pet of mine. She
honestly thinks the world revolves around what I am doing (and it does). She is the worst
chronic egg layer we have ever had. She has many vet bills from her problems with it.
Often she will lay up to 12 eggs in a week’s time. She is on hormone shots to help
control her problem. Other than that we have done many tests & she is a picture of
health. This egg laying is an ongoing problem we are faced with daily with many of our
female birds.
Honey this poor little one lived with a broken wing for 2 months before being turned
over to my mom. My mother got the wing fixed (thanks mom), which from the time it was
left untreated resulted in amputation. We keep Honey because he is a bit of a dare
devil & will just leap off things to get to you. Honey also travels with us to senior centers
to cheer the residents.
This is Bandito he is my personal pet and there isn't a thing wrong with him. He is just
so damn perfect I wanted to put another picture of him on the site :-)
