Adoptable Birds, There Are Many More!

|
|
|
|
Orlando, Green Cheek Conure
|
|
Orlando, along with some other green cheek conure friends, recently came to us from a MD shelter. He loves to bathe. He also flies well, a beneficial skill we hope he can keep in a new home that can safely offer this opportunity.

Ricky and Lucy, Blue & Gold Macaws
|
|
We think that birds in pairs (without breeding, of course) provides an enriched way of life for most parrots. Since it is not in their interest for us to over snuggle, simply enjoying life alongside these beautiful parrots is usually the best outcome for all. Giving birds an opportunity for a bird friend is a great gift! You can read more about adoptable bird pairs in one of our prior blog posts here.

It's spring at last, and a great time to get our birds outside for some helpful fresh air and sunlight. However, we must do so safely. Please make sure your bird only goes outside in an appropriate carrier, to avoid flight or other potential hazards. Meanwhile, we should always be prepared in the event of an emergency. Suzanne Cromwell has outlined some valuable tips and ideas in a recent blog post.
