Phoenix Landing is a 501(c)(3) all volunteer organization.  It was established to protect the welfare of parrots through adoption, education and conservation. Almost every bird, from the smallest to the largest, from the most loved to the most neglected, will need a new home someday --possibly a succession of homes.  Our lives change, often unexpectedly.  One day your bird may need a good new home too!

A Pennsylvania home started with a handful of cockatiels, which in short order became 167 birds in pretty horrid conditions. So they ended up at the Animal Rescue League of Western Pennsylvania. Debbie Russell (our amazing Maryland Coordinator) and volunteer Anne Hawthorne made the trip to Pittsburgh and took custody of 36 cockatiels. These cuties now deserve an opportunity for healthy food, lots of space to move and even fly, and all the time they need to develop potential future trust with humans.  We highly recommend that cockatiels live with at least one other cockatiel because they really appreciate each other's company. However, they need to be the  same gender, to avoid any  more breeding.   A super big thanks to the Parrot Posse for their continued help with supplies and some cages, and an incredible thanks to Anne Hawthorne, who has now fostered 247 birds over the last 12 years!!

Do you enjoy the sound of little chirps and watching beautiful finches fly and interact with each other?  These cuties would appreciate a nicely outfitted larger cage (32" wide+) so they can spend their days full of fun and exercise!

As you know, we rarely use the word "rescue" because it really doesn't apply to the majority of birds that just need their next good home.  In this case, Houdini was also part of a group of birds that ended up at a shelter after a major hoarding situation. He is a confirmed male, and he has an open band similar to wild caught bands used prior to 1993; however, we are not certain about his age or origination. We've given him lots of space, good food and things to do. This weekend he will also participate in our "Step-Up" training workshop. After Houdini is on a positive path, we won't even remember where he last came from, birds are super resilient!
