Hi! I am Jael, a freelance painter and writer who works from home in central Ohio! New here, though not to parrot companionship. I used to work with many species, hand raising as well as doing behavioral training a rehabilitation for birds that were abandoned or mistreated. Later went on to work as a zookeeper on contract for a year, which was a joy! Never had the opportunity of working with birds of prey prior and it was so rewarding and such an amazing experience. Unfortunately, my life went through many changes after fleeing an abusive situation and having to find homes for my precious flock. While I raised and worked with many species, I had a few quakers and alexandrines that were my own.
It has taken me a long time to get to the point that I feel safe bringing parrots back into my life. I miss them so much, but having to rehome my old babies due to a horrible situation that was beyond my control made me so nervous to start again. It was the last thing I ever wanted for my animals, even if it was the right decision at the time. Finally though, after being remarried now for nearly 10 years, in a large new home we bought this last year, I finally feel I have the stability and comfort to bring parrots back into my life!
I just brought home a crimson bellied conure baby I have named Churro and looking to adopt a caique, or some quakers soon as well. My ultimate goal is to finally, one day, have one of my favorites I came to love when working with parrots. I want either a severe macaw or a green wing. Both are birds I heavily connected with and I deeply fell in love their their demeanors.
So happy to be here! Hoping to get to know other parrot owners, learn some things and help others where I can.
