Lola
Species: Moluccan Cockatoo
Age: Unknown

Available

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.

Lloyd and Poquito
Species: Green-Cheek Conures
Age: 6 Months / 1+ Years

Available

Lloyd and Poquito arrived separately at Foster Parrots, however they both share the same sad but familiar story. They were purchased from pet stores as babies and within a year or less, found themselves homeless. Upon meeting one another, these two cuties quickly bonded. They now reside in the same cage and must be adopted together!

Lloyd and Poquito are playful and energetic conures who will require ample out of cage time and plenty of space to fly! While they share a close bond, both still very much enjoy interacting with their human friends. Lloyd loves to cuddle and climb all over his favorite people, while Poquito is social, but independent. It’s the best of both worlds!

Bonded pairs are often easier to accommodate in a home setting, especially for those who work or may not be around most of the day. Instead of having to rely entirely on humans, pairs of birds have each other for social support. Lloyd’s and Poquito’s new guardian should be someone who respects their individuality and who will be patient and help them grow into confident, mature birds.

Shasta (L) Chopper (R)

Shasta and Chopper
Species: Red-Lored Amazons
Age: 30+ Years

Available

Shasta and Chopper are a friendly pair of Red-Lored Amazons in search of a soft place to land. These two birds have lived with one another in the same home for the majority of their lives. While they are not mate bonded, they do share a familial bond with one another. Both birds are DNA sexed, Shasta is a female and Chopper is a male. Despite being extremely loved, health issues forced their guardian to have to surrender them.

In their previous home, Shasta and Chopper were never caged and were allowed to explore the house during the day. At night, they slept in a small bathroom adjoining their guardian’s bedroom. In our placement center, they are often heard singing and whistling– they love to vocalize and can be very loud! Shasta has gotten along well with the birds in our center, however Chopper will sometimes become reactive towards Shasta and other birds nearby. Shasta really enjoys sitting on her human’s shoulder and both birds are easily handled once comfortable. They would do best in a home where they will be allowed to roam freely or in a large bird room.

Red-Lored Amazons are one of the longest living species and as such can live 80+ years.

Enzo and Tango
Species: Half Moon Conure and Pineapple Green-Cheek Conure
Age: 4 Years

Available

Enzo and Tango are a pair of conures in search of a soft place to land. They share a very close bond and must never be separated. If they are away from each other for too long, they may become distressed.

Tango is a known male and is the friendly, outgoing one of the pair, although he will take some time to warm up to new people. He enjoys interacting with his human friends and getting lots of attention! He had reportedly begun to chew some of the molding in his previous home, so he will need lots of toys and enrichment to keep him busy! Enzo is a known female. She is more shy and timid, preferring to keep mostly to herself and interact with Tango. She will need a guardian who will allow her to move at her own pace and help her to gain more confidence and trust in humans.

Enzo and Tango will need plenty of space to play and fly! They would do well in a home with a dedicated bird room or with other small birds.

Buddy
Species: Bare-eyed Cockatoo (F)
Age: 17 +

Available

Buddy is an outgoing and affectionate Bare-eyed Cockatoo who is in need of a new home to land. Buddy was rescued earlier in her life and has spent the last decade with her female guardian. Buddy has been diagnosed with heart disease and has been placed on life-long medication. Buddy is towel-trained and willingly “jumps” into her towel for the administration of her twice-daily medication. She is rewarded after with treats and lots of love and snuggles.

When Buddy’s guardian began to have her own medical issues, she needed to make the heart-wrenching decision to find her a new home in which she would be able to thrive. In her previous home, Buddy was only caged at bedtime and had someone home with her to tend to her high level of social needs. Once comfortable, she enjoys spending as much time as possible with her human flock. Buddy was taught lots of fun behaviors which include painting with watercolors!

Buddy’s ideal guardian should be someone who will be comfortable administering her twice-daily medications, who is home a lot and can provide Buddy with the high level of socialization she wants and needs.

Due to Buddy’s medical needs, her placement has been waived. If you are interested in learning more about Buddy please submit a placement application below.
