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.

Murgetroyd
Species: Yellow-Naped Amazon
Age: 40+

Available

Murgetroyd or “Murgie” as she’s affectionately called, is a sweet and comical Amazon who is somewhere in her early 40s. Although she has spent the majority of her years in the same place, she has lived in at least 3 different homes. While her last guardians loved her immensely, they knew they were unable to provide the type of environment Murgie needed in order to thrive.

Despite the fact that she says “I’m a bad boy”, Murgie is confirmed to be a female. She has an ever growing repertoire of various phrases and sounds, from “You dirty rat!” to a very dramatic actress yell. She even cries like a baby! Murgie gets along well with other animals and has lived with cats, dogs and birds in the past. She appears to bond most strongly with her primary caretaker, although typically remains friendly and social with everyone around her. Once comfortable, she is easily handled by her preferred person.

Shasta (L) Chopper (R)

Shasta and Chopper
Species: Red-Lored Amazons
Age: 30+

Available

Shasta and Chopper are a friendly pair of Red-Lored Amazons in search of a soft place to land. These two birds have lived with one another in the same home for the majority of their lives. While they are not mate bonded, they do share a familial bond with one another. Both birds are DNA sexed, Shasta is a female and Chopper is a male. Despite being extremely loved, health issues forced their guardian to have to surrender them.

In their previous home, Shasta and Chopper were never caged and were allowed to explore the house during the day. At night, they slept in a small bathroom adjoining their guardian’s bedroom. In our placement center, they are often heard singing and whistling– they love to vocalize and can be very loud! Shasta has gotten along well with the birds in our center, however Chopper will sometimes become reactive towards Shasta and other birds nearby. Shasta really enjoys sitting on her human’s shoulder and both birds are easily handled once comfortable. They would do best in a home where they will be allowed to roam freely or in a large bird room.

Red-Lored Amazons are one of the longest living species and as such can live 80+ years.

Peewee
Species: Goffins Cockatoo
Age: 26

Available

Peewee is a super sweet Goffins cockatoo who is looking for a new place to call home. Peewee has lived in the same home his entire life and has been a beloved member of the family. When Peewee’s guardian became ill and was no longer able to care for him, they needed to make the heartbreaking decision to relinquish him to Foster Parrots.

In his previous home, Peewee had run of the house and was almost always out of his cage. He easily steps up and is reportedly also potty trained. He absolutely LOVES people and demands attention from everyone around him. In fact, he would happily sit on your shoulder and allow you to scratch his head all day!

Cockatoos are extremely intelligent beings who require an enormous amount of social interaction and mental stimulation. They are often referred to as “velcro birds” due to their constant desire for attention. When their needs are not being adequately met, they frequently resort to self destructive behaviors such as feather plucking and skin mutilation. Peewee’s ideal caregiver will be someone who is home most of the day and can provide a mostly cage free environment along with ample love, attention and social support.

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.

Lulu and Crowley
Species: Hahn’s Macaw and Red-Capped Conure
Age: +/- 10

Available

Lulu and Crowley are an adorable pair who are looking for a new place to call home! Lulu is a Hahns Macaw and Crowley is a Red-Capped Conure. Their exact ages are unknown. Sadly, their guardian unexpectedly passed away, leaving them behind with no one to care for them.

These two birds share a close bond with one another and must never be separated. Crowley is the more human oriented of the pair. He enjoys sitting on his person’s head or shoulder. He also tends to overpreen Lulu at times. Lulu is not as comfortable with humans. Although she did allow handling from her previous guardian, it will take work and time to gain her trust. Both birds enjoy flying around, interacting and being given treats!

When Lulu arrived, her beak was extremely overgrown and she was having a difficult time eating. Our Animal Care Director trimmed her beak and now Lulu is doing great! It is likely that she may need a trim from time to time in order to keep it at a good length.

Bonded birds are often easier to accommodate in a home, especially for people who work or may not be around most of the day. Instead of having to rely entirely on humans for social support, they have one another. Lulu and Crowley would do well in a home with a bird room or aviary, possibly with other small birds, where they are able to fly around and socialize.

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.
