Lola
Species: Moluccan Cockatoo
Age: Unknown

PENDING

Meet Lola, a sweet and endearing Moluccan Cockatoo who is looking to find her forever home!

While Lola’s early history is unclear, we do know that she spent the last 17 years of her life in the same place, where she was loved dearly by her guardian. Unfortunately, after the passing of another parrot living in the home, Lola grew increasingly lonely and it became difficult to provide the amount of attention she was constantly craving.

Lola is very friendly with most people she meets, however she does have her preferences at times! Although she loves head scratches and being touched, she is not yet comfortable with handling or stepping up. She can be a bit timid and will need someone who is patient and willing to help her gain more confidence. In our placement center, she enjoys sitting on top of her cage and demanding attention from staff and volunteers. She can often be heard ranting, barking like a dog, and saying “Hi, Lola!” or “I love you.”

Cockatoos are extremely intelligent beings who require an enormous amount of social interaction and mental stimulation. They are often referred to as “velcro birds” due to their constant desire for attention. When their needs are not being adequately met, they frequently resort to screaming and self destructive behaviors such as feather plucking and skin mutilation. Lola’s ideal caregiver will be someone who is home most of the day and can provide a mostly cage free environment along with ample love, attention and social support.

Potential guardians must own their own home and should have large bird/cockatoo experience.

Lila
Species: Golden Peach-Faced Lovebird
Age: unknown

Available

Lila is a friendly and outgoing golden lovebird who is searching for a soft place to land. She came to us from animal control, so we are unaware of her prior history.

Like many lovebirds, Lila has a lot of spunk and can be a bit feisty sometimes! She does not like when it’s bedtime, but can usually be convinced with a small piece of walnut. She enjoys hanging out on shoulders and heads and will even step up on a finger or arm. She is quite curious, often exploring her surroundings and walking around on the floor. She will require ample space to play and fly!

Lila has done well around other birds and would likely do great in a home with similar sized avian friends. If she is the only bird in the home, she will demand a lot of attention from her human caregivers!

Chopper

Chopper
Species: Red-Lored Amazon
Age: 30+ Years

Available

Chopper, a DNA sexed male, has been with us for nearly a year and is still searching for his forever home! He is friendly, food motivated, and he enjoys sitting on his human’s shoulder. What he would like more than anything is to find an avian mate! In our Placement Center, Chopper has attempted to win the hearts of multiple birds, but to no avail. While he can occasionally be a bit of a bully, he desperately wishes for his love to be reciprocated!

In Chopper’s previous home, he was never caged and had full reign of the house, where he was free to fly and explore all day. He would do best in a similar environment, a dedicated bird room, or aviary with other Amazons or similar sized birds.

Potential guardians should have a future plan in place, as Red-Lored Amazons are one of the longest living species and can live 80+ years.

Niles
Species: Scarlet Macaw
Age: 27 years

Available

Meet Niles, a silly and vivacious Scarlet Macaw in search of his forever home. When Niles’s previous guardian passed away, he was surrendered to a pet store, where he lived for multiple years. Unequipped to care for a macaw long-term, the store reached out to Foster Parrots for assistance.

The day Niles arrived, staff opened up his carrier to find him crouched down, his sweet face looking upward. “How are you?” he immediately asked us. At that moment, we could tell what a character he was! He loves to be the center of attention and is definitely not shy about letting his humans know he wants something! While Niles prefers women and would be most comfortable with a female as his primary caretaker, he will generally also tolerate men. Some of his favorite activities include dancing, singing, and hanging out on his tree stand!

Toto and Greta (F)
Species: Blue and Gold Macaws
Ages: 21 and 7 Years

Available

Toto and Greta are a bonded pair of Blue and Gold Macaws. Greta is a 6-year-old known female, and Toto is 20 years old; while his sex is unknown, he is referred to as a male. Toto and Greta are friendly and animated macaws! In their previous homes, they both preferred a female guardian. Greta is a spunky, outgoing lady who loves to give her caretakers all the sass! She will often fly to her chosen person’s shoulder for attention. Toto is outgoing and enjoys being more hands-on with his preferred caretakers.

Greta and Toto have lived cage-free for the majority of their lives! Anyone interested in giving this dynamic pair a home must have the space available to construct a bird-safe room to house them. Potential guardians must own their own homes and have large bird experience.

Flappy
Species: Indian Ringneck
Age: 6 years old

Available

Flappy is a 6 year old Indian Ringneck who is looking for her new best friend! She has lived in a single home her whole life. Due to her guardian’s health issues, it became increasingly difficult for them to continue caring for Flappy and she was surrendered to Foster Parrots.

When Flappy arrived, she was not accustomed to being handled by people, as she had been mostly confined to her cage. She did not like hands, would bite out of fear, and was too nervous to try stepping up. Despite this, she appeared to crave more interaction with humans. We contemplated aviary life here at the sanctuary for her, but although she coexists well with other birds, she doesn’t seem to have much interest in them, preferring the company of people. She even enjoys head scratches and kisses now from her favorite humans!

Flappy would do well in a home with other similar sized birds. She loves to chew and shred and will need lots of fun toys available to her!
