rescue

I adopted my adorable CAG from Burge Bird Rescue in Grandview MO. They take in ALL birds- even unwanted finches and parakeets, doves, ducks, etc. If you adopt a special needs bird from them, they cover the vet care for life! Amazing group run by an avian DVM. They are involved in the shelter...

.. that your rescue birds have told you about their prior owners? I was introducing Smoky Blue to the neighbors, and explaining all the sounds and phrases he knows. My neighbor said it sounded a little creepy... we have an unintentional window into a family’s intimate life based on what the...

So, I thought after Slade (renamed from Cosmo) mauled me at the fosters that it would be quite a while before this would happen. I'm so excited that we're already building our trust bond and it's only been a week!

I have been taking care of birds for a few years now -- I started off with a little budgie, whom I still have, and have worked my way up to a macaw. I have had all types of birds: Finch, canaries, wrens, starlings, doves, Quakers, parakeets, cockatoos, cockatiels, and macaws, etc. Many of the...

I'd love to adopt a bird from a Florida bird rescue!!!! if you know of any please leave information :o::o::heart::heart:

I adopted this little Hooded Parrot. I named him Irwin. He was part of a large seizure of birds from an abuse/neglect situation. The rescue at which I work took in over 100 birds. Irwin had a mate, but she died the day she was taken in. Many of the birds didn't make it, and there were many birds...

Hi all, I rescued a baby pigeon from my workplace. I work in a factory and it was in danger of being run over and killed, couldn't find the nest or parents anywhere to put it back. And so I had to rescue it so it would live. I don't know anything about pigeons but I did some reading before I...

I rescued a beautiful, tiny parakeet from the Humane Society. I believe that she had been in the wild for some time. The vet said she is about 1 year old and had some minor health issues that a good diet would fix. I've had her for about a month and a half. She's been on a forage and pellet diet...

Hi Fellow Birdpeople, I'm a "mom"/caregiver of 2 CAGs: Zabar, 52, who was rehomed to me and my husband almost 3 years ago. He's blind in one eye, missing a couple of end toes and cannot fly, possibly due to pinioning? This February, Scarlett/Strawberry joined us. She was living in a closed down...

:greet14:My fiance and I had decided at the beginning of the year that we definitely wanted to get another cockatiel. We decided to adopt an older rescue bird instead of getting a new baby but after months of calling local rescues with no luck we almost opted to head back to our breeder...But...

Hey all! This is a LONG post! We picked up 2 canaries and 2 finches from a rescue sanctuary towards the start of March. Initially they were in a small cage with no perches when we got them. All of them have damage to varying extents on their feet (some bent and even missing toes :() and the...

So not positive if this is the right place to post or not, so admin please move if needed. I am looking to start up my own not for profit 501 c 3 bird rescue in Columbus, OH. I would love for any advice or anything I should know about doing this. I'm literally at the very beginning and just...

Does anyone know of a rescue or shelter with conures near Somerville, ma? I looked at a couple of shelters in my area, but they just had cats and dogs.

Hello fellow bird brains :) My husband and I just rescued a pair of military macaws they were rescued about 8 months ago from Portland Oregon animal shelter along with about 240 other parrots. The man arrested was cross breeding in attempts to create hybrids, feeding them things lime...

Good evening! My name is Sydney and I've just signed up, checking in from the Golden State! The pictures are my African Ringneck Parakeet, Gogol, and two of my hens, Honeybird (with her adopted babies) and Penny. I am the proud animommy of 2 dogs, a cat, my Ringneck, and 6 beautiful hens...

hello all! I am new to this site so forgive me if im doing this wrong :)I recently rescued a goffins cockatoo from n an avian rescue. I only went there to support my sister while she picked up her new family member , but then I saw him in the corner, no feathers,scared and so tiny. I couldn't...

oh boy okay so i originally had jaspidot because he couldnt fly, and just today i went to a creek where the water was overflowing from recent rain (it's had a huge effect on most main areas of south australia). the park itself is lovely, and its where my family got our first lorikeet, who had...

I'm currently in contact with a parrot rescue and I am going there to see the place and talk to one of the people that is involved to be interviewed and talk about the choices I have for an adoption tomorrow. I'm look to adopt either a pionus or a small cockatoo ( goffins, bare eyed, galah) ...

Hello, all. I feel the need to post a welcome, as I haven't posted here in almost a year and a half. My 11 year old cockatiel Clementine, who had been my sunshine, died over the summer. It wasn't completely unexpected, as she has had health problems for years, but I'd hoped we'd have a few...
