Pictures Hoarding Birds for Rehoming

Oh wait sorry someone said it was cobalt wing on Facebook. Still quite interested

Is that a canary wing in one of the photos? I've been looking for one and would love to adopt her! However, I'm three hours away, so if the rescue requires a home visit, I wouldn't know how we would do that.

It may be. I believe you're talking about the bird where my age got to me and I forgot the breed. I'm going in tomorrow to get as many of these guys outside in the aviary for playtime as I can, I will attempt to remember to check. You can inbox me to remind me if you'd like. As far as the home visit goes that would be up to the powers that be. I've heard of rescues doing facetime/skype for home visits that were longer distance than usual. I couldn't say for sure either way if they do that here. I've been volunteering for only a few months now and with the rescue at 300% capacity and fighting the legal battles I haven't been able to get up to speed with what exactly they would do. 3 hours would put you in Me or NY right? There's definitely a chance.

Yeah I'm in southern Maine

I'll try calling the rescue today and see if they'll be willing!

Thanks!

Here's a quick video of OJ and Nicole outside today! They were loving it! I'll take more video and photos tomorrow. My battery ran out but I'm going back to let more out tomorrow.

Aviary fun! Most of the Weston birds are skittish about leaving the cages but a few are adventerous enough!

So a quick update. Sad news first. One of the Major Mitchell pair had a heart attack in the Vet's lap and didn't make it. All the neglect caught up with that sweet bird and the necropsy showed as much. Luckily the partner has not showed signs of anxiety to my knowledge and seems interested in working with me, which I have made a priority in my time I spend there.On to the good news. We have started finding homes for some of the birds! The blue streaked Lory went with an animal therapist that came in to help professionally and is opening up to her! Another bird that I can't remember went with her as well and is doing good. The cockatiels have started to find homes as well with one going to one of our volunteers. We also found homes for an African grey and an Umbrella Cockatoo. There are a few more birds getting visits and potential parronts soon as well. We did receive an odd trio of new surrenders that I don't believe are up yet as I'm pretty sure the up top people must be confused or anxious (I know I would be) receiving a pair of Hyacinths and a B&G macaw from one home. I'll keep updating anything of note. Thanks!

Thank you for the wonderful pictures and you're time to share the update with the Forum. Your compassionate dedication is an inspiration to many I'm sure. Sad to hear about the Major Mitchells. I hope they all get to find a forever home.

So sorry about the Major Mitchell's.
Great that the parrots are getting new homes. Did anyone adopt the Cape yet?

 

[jmfleish]

I'm so totally in love with Maya...has she gone home with anyone yet?

 

[doodoowmdeez]

To my knowledge the Cape is still there with no potential adoptees yet. My baby Maya! Batgirl! She's still there I'm relatively certain she has no potential adoptees either. Awesome bird just a little nippy with most people. I'm lucky she's in love with me I've heard she can be mean especially to females

I'm in WI, so I'm not a potential adopter. I just think she's beautiful and she reminds me so much of my own Amarillo who I almost lost recently.

She really is a gorgeous amazon! I love that bird.

 

[sunnysmom]

Such beautiful bird. I hope they find wonderful homes soon.

And my Ami:

 

[doodoowmdeez]

Beautiful! So sad to hear she passed

 

[iamwhoiam]

I would love a Cape but I am on the opposite coast. Surprised no one is interested in adopting the Cape yet.

 

[jmfleish]

Oh, she didn't pass...she's my miracle bird! She has pneumonia now and we are treating her but we're doing really well!

Wow how did I miss the 'almost'?!? Good to hear! Gorgeous bird

There quite possibly are interested parties, I keep out of hearing if I can until there's a home visit. Too many freaks out there and I'd imagine with what these poor babies went through the process is as strict as ever. I wish the cape wasn't so reserved I've tried to get him out of the cage and he isn't having it yet lol

The Cape needs to be around other Pois, like in my house.
