rescue

Hi! I'm new to the forum here and new to bird ownership! ( I am aware of bird care, I grew up around exotic birds and I used to volunteer at an exotic bird sanctuary. I haven't ever owned one because my father does not like the noise). ANYWAY... I just rescued a 20 yr old blind white male dove...

My boyfriend called me at 4.30pm, (it's now 6.30) "come out the back of the house, Bring the cage". I went out with the cage and a towel to see a quaker on the floor one street away, my boyfriend said a cat was about to pounce him and he chased it away. I could see blood and a bent wing. My vet...

Look at this little gem who just became adoptable! Such a pretty girl. I've been hearing her chattering away in the holding area for aaaages.

Hello friends! I'm Sof and I'm a new rescue mama. I have recently acquired a peach fronted conure and what looks like a gold capped conure. Other than that, I own chickens, ducks, and two dwarf goats. I also have a dog. I'm here because I need all the advice I can absolutely get when it comes...

Hi folks, I'm new to the forum and thought I would say hello. I live in on Oahu Island in Hawaii, and was hoping to connect with other parrot loving folks on Oahu. I'm part of the Hawaiian Feathered Friends Network (a bird club) and we are always taking in rescued parrots, surrendered parrots...

I like the idea of having a tattoo that really shows off my identity and who I am as a person. The sort of tattoo that boldly proclaims my personality to every unwilling passersby who glances in my direction. I'm gonna get it right smack dab in the middle of my forehead. So I've never...

Hello I am looking to give a wonderful home to a bird in need, I can afford a fee. I have a cage and toys galore. Also have a herb garden I’m growing for the birds. I currently have a parrotlet he’s been with us for 4 years. I’m a stay at home mom and have all the time in the world. I would love...

Hi - long story but I have a pair of cockatiels male & female that came with a dirty 5 inch across open top basket of seven eggs. Several eggs are for sure not fertile from the color / shape. I’m taking to vets Monday that’s the soonest I could get them in. They aren’t sitting or turning the...

Hi, my wife and I are long time bird parents, both of us have had birds since we were kids. Today we were walking around an outdoor market and came across a bird store where all of the birds were kept in terrible condition. One cockatiel in particular caught my wife's eye. Out of all the...

So, we have (as we've mentioned before) decided to add to our flock. I have already sent in my adoption application to my first choice. Now, they tend to have medium-large birds, so this is already unfamiliar territory. But, you have to start somewhere, and you can't get experience without...

As some of you may have seen, I created a thread on the cockatoo forum section about what to do for two birds I found on craigslist. These two 'toos (pictures below) are Houdini and Mickey, Houdini is a normal long-billed corella, Mickey is an western long-billed. Mickey's 5 and Houdini is 10...

(I am going to try to sound calm) (Also is he a budgie?) Hello bird family! I was at petsmart for dog food and stopped to look at the birds, a guy by me was looking at reptiles and went off on a rant that ended in him explaining he was wanting to get a snake to eat his “stupid bird” - I ended...

Hello! I'm new to these forums, and I made an account because I'm worried about my new parakeet. I have two budgies: Sock and Glove. I have had Glove for almost 2 months and we have a great bond. She's healthy, adorable, a bit cranky sometimes, but she's very loving. I got Sock a few days ago...

I've done the research and I'm almost positive I want to adopt (I don't know if I can right this second). The only downside is that I'm under eighteen and I don't know if I can adopt because of that. The shelters near me require at least over eighteen and I don't know what to do. Any suggestions?

hi all! Some of you may have seen my first post where I introduced the three rescue birds I got from a hoarding situation. At the time they wouldn’t let me take anything else but I got them to give up the baby Sun Conure and Baby Green Cheek they were trying to hand feed... I am an experienced...

Decided to go ahead and make a profile since I’ve been reading so many threads! I figured It would be more informative to reach out for direct advice. I just rescued three new babies. Male Rainbow Lorikeet Male Senegal Parrot Female GCC All assumed to be around 6-7 months old and look to...

Hi guys! Me & my partner just adopted an 8 year old blue-headed Pionus female :) she is beautiful, tame and very sweet! We'll be bringing her home in a few days. For now just getting excited and trying to do as much research as possible, including reading through so much here at this amazing...

Hi guys, first of all please sorry for my english but I'm not a native speaker. I'll try to make a long story short: there's an african grey to rescue, has been neglected and locked in a cage for 20+ years (no one says how many precisely). After the death of the original owner no one in the...

Hi, I'm new here. I've owned a bird in the past, however; I've never adopted. Recently I've been looking around for a mature parrot to take into my home as a companion. After months of searching, I came across a post today from an exotic bird rescue in my city. I saw that they had a yellow naped...

Ever since I lost sweet Rafiki to a sudden and tragic end, I've had my eyes peeled for another CAG. I knew no one could ever replace my baby Rafi, but she made me love her species so much that being without her felt like a cavernous hole in my heart. When I saw Kamara show up on the Humane...
