Arthur
Species: Blue-Fronted Amazon
Age: 40+

Available

Arthur is a Blue-Fronted Amazon who came to us as a medical intake. She has had at least two other homes that we are aware of. While referred to as a female in her previous home, her sex is unknown. When Arthur arrived, she had a very large mass covering her abdomen. Her guardian loved and cared for Arthur as best they could, but they did not have the ability to afford vet care for her. Foster Parrots was able to step in to help and Arthur has since had surgery to remove the mass. She has fully healed and is now ready to find her forever home!

Arthur can be very sweet with her preferred human. She does know how to step up, however does not typically like to do so, especially when in or on a cage. She really enjoys having her head scratched and interacting with people. She can be very loud at times and will yell when she wants something (food, attention, etc.) She would not be suitable as a companion for someone who lives in an apartment or has shared walls. Arthur has never been around other birds until now and we have found that she does not always get along well with them. She has become reactive towards several birds in our placement center. Due to this, Arthur would do best in a home with other similar sized birds that can easily be separated into their own spaces or as a single bird with someone who can provide ample attention to her.

Gerrane
Species: Yellow-naped Amazon
Age: 48 +

Available

Gerrane is a 48-year-old Yellow-naped Amazon who is in search of a home to land. Gerrane has lived with his previous guardians for over 30 years, due to the open-band on his leg, it is believed that Gerrane was once a wild bird. Gerrane can be shy at first but once he warms up he is all IN and seems to be most comfortable with a female caregiver. Gerrane, while loved by his former guardians was not allowed out of his cage or given a lot of toys/varying enrichment. Gerrane will need a guardian who is patient and willing to work with him while not being too pushy with his boundaries. It may take Gerrane a little while to get the hang of “step-up.” In our center, Gerrane loves to hang on top of his cage and will usually go back inside for the evening for a pistachio. He enjoys head “scritches” and being close to his chosen person.

Rosi
Species: Blue and Gold Macaw
Age: 13-14

Available

Rosi is a sweet and endearing Blue and Gold macaw who is searching for a soft place to land. Although she is quite young, she has already lived in two different homes. In her last home, Rosi was very loved, but due to her guardian being forced to move, they had to make the extremely difficult decision to surrender Rosi.

Rosi is shy at first and she can take a while to warm up to people, but once she does she is very social. She has not shown a preference for male or female, although her previous guardian was female. She will allow handling with her preferred person once she is comfortable. So far, she has done well being around the other birds in our placement center. She enjoys sitting on top of her cage during the day and observing everything going on around her. She likes to vocalize and knows how to say several different words and phrases such as “Hello,” “Pretty bird,” and “Step up.” Pistachios are one of her favorite treats and definitely the way to this girl’s heart!

Rosi’s ideal guardian will be someone who is calm and patient and who is willing to work with her to continue to build her confidence and trust.

Species: Severe Macaw
Age: 27+

Available

Koko is a 27-year-old, male, Severe Macaw who is searching for a home to land. He has lived in one home before arriving at Foster Parrots. Koko prefers women and would do best with a woman as his primary caretaker. Koko often screams loudly and does not enjoy being handled. Koko would do best in a home with someone with Severe Macaw experience, while smaller in stature than their larger cousins, Severe Macaws tend to have a BIG personality. Koko would do best in a constructed bird room with other birds. While apprehensive of the birds in our center, he still enjoys being around them. Koko is a huge toy shredder so get ready to put your crafting skills to work!

Roger
Species: Goffin’s Cockatoo
Age: 20+

Available

Roger is a Goffin’s cockatoo who has been part of the Foster Parrot’s family for over 20 years. Roger was originally surrendered and adopted in the early 2000s. Roger is most comfortable around women and will do well in a home with a female caregiver. Roger is a super sweet but shy bird who will benefit from being placed with someone who is patient while he becomes comfortable in his new surroundings. He has done well with other birds in our adoption center, albeit sometimes fearful. Roger would do best in a quieter home with someone who can give him lots of love, attention, and social support.

Roger’s ideal caregiver should be someone with cockatoo experience who will be patient and work with Roger as he settles in.

Toto and Greta (F)
Species: Blue and Gold Macaws
Ages: 21 and 7

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.

Tottie
Species: Cockatiel (M)
Age: Unknown

I found a home!

Tottie is a known male cockatiel in search of a soft place to land. Tottie was found outside by an older gentleman and kept in a box for days. When a wonderful Foster Parrots guardian heard about the situation, they picked Tottie up and drove him to the sanctuary. Because he was found outside, Tottie’s age and history is unknown.

When we first met Tottie, he looked a bit rough and was missing quite a few head feathers. We think it is possible that he once lived with another bird, as his missing feathers looked as though they could be from over preening by a mate. Since his arrival, Tottie’s feathers have grown back, and he is looking more handsome than ever!

Tottie loves to socialize with his human friends, however he is very fearful of hands. We have been working on this and he is slowly making progress! He will need someone calm who is willing to work with him at his own pace. Tottie would likely do best in a home with other cockatiels or small birds.

Species: Jeri and Snugs
Age: 18, 10

We found a home!

Jeri and Snugs are a bonded pair of male senior cockatiels in search of a soft place to land. They have lived in a single home their entire lives. Once childhood companions, the children have grown and moved on with their lives. Jeri and Snugs have been cared for in the home by the mother, who did her absolute best to make sure they had the most loving and enriching environment. Unfortunately, due to personal health issues, she needed to make the extremely difficult decision to rehome them.

Jeri and Snugs were potty trained in their last home, although they will need to be worked with to continue this habit. Both birds are reported to enjoy car rides, and they have even gone on camping, biking, and hiking adventures!

While we have not witnessed as much screaming here, in their previous home, Jeri and Snugs would often scream when not given attention or out of cage time. They can be loud at times and will need a home that can provide lots of social interaction and freedom from a cage. Jeri and Snugs can be very sweet and friendly, although Snugs is much more cautious. While she sometimes enjoys sitting on a shoulder, she does not care for being touched. Jeri on the other hand loves head scratches when he is in the mood. They both know how to step up but will take some time to become comfortable and warm up to their new guardian.

Chickee and Hatcher
Species: Orange-wing Amazon (Chickee) and White-fronted Amazon (Hatcher)
Age: Unknown, likely senior

We found a home!

Chickee and Hatcher have been part of the Foster Parrots family for many years. Earlier in their life, they were rescued from a hoarding situation and spent a few years residing with a former volunteer. When she was no longer able to care for them, they were placed in our former adoption program. Chickee and Hatcher were placed with a family in 2021 but have recently returned to us as the family developed allergies to their dander.

Chickee and Hatcher are a bonded pair of birds who share an enclosure and must never be separated. Once they become comfortable with their caregivers, they are easily handled. Hatcher is the more outgoing of the pair, while Chickee can be more reserved while gaining comfort and confidence in a new environment. Both birds are microchipped and DNA sexing has been completed on Hatcher who is a known female.

Bonded pairs are, in many ways, easier to accommodate in a home setting, especially for guardians who work full-time and may not be able to provide socialization throughout the day! This pair would do well in a quieter household or in a constructed bird room with other amazons.

Budgerigars Ages: Unknown, most are under 2 years of age

Available

Are you looking to add a Budgie or two or six? Well look no further, we currently have 16 budgies awaiting their forever homes. These birds were part of a hoarding case Foster Parrots was involved in earlier this year. We successfully rescued 99 birds and found amazing homes for all but 16!

Budgies have similar needs as other species of parrots. They will need lots of out-of-cage time, toys, and socialization. Budgies are a joyful flocking species that benefit from members of their own species, due to this, unless you are looking to add a companion for a current friend, we will require the adoption of at least two birds. Social support is a huge need for budgies. In the wild, their flock size can reach upwards of over 100 members!

Buddy
Species: Bare-eyed Cockatoo (F)
Age: 17 +

Available

Buddy is an outgoing and affectionate Bare-eyed Cockatoo who is in need of a new home to land. Buddy was rescued earlier in her life and has spent the last decade with her female guardian. Buddy has been diagnosed with heart disease and has been placed on life-long medication. Buddy is towel-trained and willingly “jumps” into her towel for the administration of her twice-daily medication. She is rewarded after with treats and lots of love and snuggles.

When Buddy’s guardian began to have her own medical issues, she needed to make the heart-wrenching decision to find her a new home in which she would be able to thrive. In her previous home, Buddy was only caged at bedtime and had someone home with her to tend to her high level of social needs. Once comfortable, she enjoys spending as much time as possible with her human flock. Buddy was taught lots of fun behaviors which include painting with watercolors!

Buddy’s ideal guardian should be someone who will be comfortable administering her twice-daily medications, who is home a lot and can provide Buddy with the high level of socialization she wants and needs.

Due to Buddy’s medical needs, her placement has been waived. If you are interested in learning more about Buddy please submit a placement application below.

Bella and Lola
Species: Bella (Congo, African Grey), Lola (Timneh, African Grey)
Age: 22+

We found a home!

Bella and Lola are a bonded pair of African Greys new to our Home Sanctuary Program. This dynamic, sweet pair was transferred to us from our partners at the RI Parrot Rescue earlier this month after nearly a 3 year stay at their facility. Due to a primarily all-seed diet in their previous home, Bella and Lola struggle with cardiovascular disease. Bella has been placed on a life-long heart medication and Lola receives a holistic cardiac supplement. With medication intervention, a healthy diet of high-quality pellets, and fresh foods, these two sweet girls have made strides in their recovery with RIPR, but were unable to find the right placement for them.

Bella and Lola are target and syringe-trained! Making medication administration a breeze! They enjoy playing with a variety of shredding toys and interacting with our staff and volunteers each day.

Bella and Lola’s placement fee has been waived due to their need for life-long medication. Their ideal placement should be with someone comfortable administering their meds, who will be patient, and who can offer them lots of cage-free time, and socialization. While Bella enjoys spending much of her day on top of her enclosure, Lola needs a bit more supervision as she LOVES to walk around and explore her world on the floor.
