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!
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, years later, requires medicine to
help her go to the bathroom.
Mr.Peepers is the oldest of our troop. We guess at least 20. We got him 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 receives 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. In April 2010, sadly from years of massive overlaying I lost the battle of
chronic egg laying. And this should be the proof for all with massive egg layers, at some
point, no matter how well you care and love a bird, this problem will surface with a very
nasty bite. I am so heartbroken I can hardly stand to write this over a year later.
