Jerry
Jerry
Species: Double Yellow-Headed Amazon
Age: 29 Years
Available
Jerry is a Double Yellow-Headed Amazon who is in search of a place to call home. He is quite the character and loves to talk and vocalize! He has lived the majority of his life in the same home. Sadly, his guardian was in hospice and could no longer care for him. She desperately wanted to ensure that Jerry would find another loving home before she passed.
Jerry is energetic and the life of the party! With his preferred humans, he allows handling and head scratches, however he definitely has people preferences! He tends to be most comfortable with particular females. As with many Amazons, he can become overstimulated easily, especially in the Spring during hormone season. When this happens, he may bite. The great thing about Jerry is that he is trained to step up on a perch, so he can be moved quickly and easily if needed.
Jerry enjoys watching PBS Kids in the morning and his absolute favorite is Sesame Street! He has done very well with the birds in our Placement Center and would love to have an Amazon friend!

Rudy & Spencer
Rudy & Spencer
Species: Yellow-Naped Amazons
Age: 54+ and 35 Years
Available
Rudy and Spencer are an older, bonded pair of Yellow-Naped Amazons searching for a soft place to land. Over the course of his life, Rudy has had at least 4 homes and Spencer has had 2. In their last home, they were extremely loved, but severe medical issues within the family made it impossible to keep the birds in the home. Their guardian was forced to make the heartbreaking decision to relinquish Rudy and Spencer to Foster Parrots.
Rudy and Spencer are wild caught Amazons. Upon meeting each other, it was love at first sight! While they prefer the company of one another, they also enjoy spending time with their human caretakers. Both birds are trained to step up on a perch, so moving and handling them is very easy. They also get along very well with other birds!
Rudy has some arthritis which can sometimes cause a bit of difficulty perching, however he still manages to get around well. He and Spencer have a special set up in order to prevent the risk of Rudy falling. When they are out of their enclosure, they LOVE to walk around on the floor and forage…just watch out for your feet!

Max
Max
Species: Blue and Gold Macaw
Age: Unknown
Available
Max is a sweet Blue and Gold Macaw who is looking to find her forever home! Max’s guardian passed away unexpectedly and we took her in as an emergency case. While we don’t have a lot of history on Max, we do know that she is a female!
Max is a friendly girl, in fact one of her favorite things to do is wave hello to everyone she sees! With those she is particularly fond of, she really enjoys head scratches. She does not seem to be very comfortable with handling yet, so we are slowly trying to work on this. Max loves pistachios and will even put herself back in her enclosure at bedtime in exchange for one. She has done well around the other birds in our Placement Center!
Max enjoys being the center of attention and can be very loud at times! Potential guardians must own their own home and have ample time and space to dedicate to her.

Niles
Niles
Species: Scarlet Macaw
Age: 27 years
PENDING
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!

Greta (Left) Toto (Right)
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.

Blaze
Blaze
Species: Solomon Island Eclectus (Female)
Age: 4 years

Meet Blaze, a 4 year old female Eclectus who is so sweet, it’s nearly impossible not to fall in love with her! Blaze came from a very loving family who took exceptional care of her. Unfortunately, Blaze’s favorite human and primary caretaker became ill and no longer had the ability to care for her.
Blaze loves people, but she prefers and is most comfortable around females. She will easily step up onto a hand and loves to be held. Blaze has a great vocabulary and she loves music! “Bacon Pancakes” is her absolute favorite! She also loves the Bruins and will cheer along while watching or listening to a game. She’s a curious girl who enjoys sitting by a window and watching everything outside!

Aladdin & Jasmine
Aladdin & Jasmine
Species: Sun Conures
Age: 5 years
Available
Jasmine and Aladdin are looking for a safe place to land! Like so many parrots purchased at pet stores, this bonded pair of Sun Conures found themselves needing a new home after only a few short years. Thankfully, a wonderful family member was able to take the birds in and temporarily care for them until we were able to bring them into our adoption program.
Jasmine and Aladdin were not accustomed to being handled very much in their previous home. Despite this, they are sweet, gentle birds. They love to fly onto their humans to hang out and will even step up onto a hand when comfortable. They love to chew, so it will be important to make sure they have safe toys and items available that can be destroyed!
Bonded pairs of birds are in many ways easier to care for, as they always have one another for social support. They are great for guardians who work away from home or may not be around as much during the day.
