There is nothing more cheerful than the chatter of a happy little flock of parakeets. We have five parakeets in Maryland currently available for adoption, and a group of 4 boys in North Carolina who are the best of friends so must be adopted together. We also have another group who is currently in quarantine, and will be available in the coming weeks as long as everything goes well. If you are thinking about adding some parakeets to your home,
check out our adoption process and let us know!

Parakeets needing our help
|
|
|
A large group of birds came in to a rural shelter just before Christmas. Their owner had passed away, and the shelter was not set up for birds. They reached out to Phoenix Landing and a few other organizations. We wished we could help by bringing all the parakeets in, but we only had space for 10, when our Hickory area coordinator, Liz, volunteered to foster and quarantine them. So, we committed to taking ten, and shared the news with other organizations in hopes space could be found for the others.
Two of the ten we took in passed away in the first week. One had passed away a few hours after leaving the shelter, and the other passed at the veterinarian's office. We are having necropsies done on both birds who passed, as we need to know if either died from anything contagious, and are having blood work sent off from several others for general tests and disease testing.
If you would like to assist with the cost of the necropsies, testing, and any upcoming medical needs for the parakeets, or for other birds in the adoption program, you may donate to
Phoenix Landing's Healthy Parrot Veterinary Fund. Thank you to everyone who has donated over the past year, as your donation truly makes a difference always, but especially in instances like this one!

Adoptable parrots thank you for their holiday presents!
|
|
|
Thank you to all who sent toys to parrots in the adoption program through the
Holiday Gifts Program! All those sent have made it to their recipients either at the adoption center or in foster homes in MD, VA, NC, SC, TN, and FL, and we are starting to see some pictures illustrating just how much the parrots are enjoying them! As we know, it's important to keep these smart, active birds busy! Thank you so much!
