“OSCARITA”
Green Cheek Conure
Adoption Fee $75 or $125 with Cage

 Adoption Pending on this birds

 

Available for adoption: Introducing OSCARITA!! Yes, my name is Oscarita, my original name was Oscar but then it was found out that I am all woman! I am about 9 years old and I have been in the same home all my life before coming to Florida Parrot Rescue when my Mommy became too ill to care for me. I am a super sweet green cheek conure who loves all kinds of fresh vegetables. I like being out on my cage but I love traveling on your shoulder! As you can see, I have one little bent up toe, but it doesn’t give me any trouble and I love to climb and have no issues perching and gosh darn it, I am pretty close to perfect! Will you give me a forever home?

 Tequila Nanday Conure available for adoption Florida Parrot Rescue

“TEQUILA”
Nanday Conure
Adoption Fee $75 or $125 with Cage

 

My name is Tequila and I’m a nanday conure. I like to refer to my personality as “spicy/sweet”, and at times I like to loudly let you know how much I love life. No, I am not loud all day, but I have my moments that make me unsuitable for apartment living. I am a spirited creature and sometimes I like to test my boundaries, but I am really just a sweetie. Once you pick me up you’ll see just what a love bug I am. I readily accept head scratches, beak kisses and cuddles. Give me a home and I will give you many years of love, joy and happiness.

 

 

 

 Lucy Quaker Parrot available for adoption Florida Parrot RescueLucy Quaker Parrot available for adoption Florida Parrot Rescue

“LUCY”
Quaker Parrot
Adoption Fee $50 or $100 with Cage


 

Hi my name is “LUCY” I’m between 5 and 6 years old, best guess by the vet. My foster moms say I’m a sweetheart. I’ll laugh and chuckle right along with you and I love to watch cartoon or any t.v, the housewives series keeps me mumbling and talking all afternoon (See everyone is a critic). It seems I spent most of my time in my cage before I came in to rescue and didn’t get out at all so I’m very leery about leaving it now. Like most Quaker’s I can be cage aggressive but will nudge your hand away instead of a bite. I will come out and sit for awhile if you pretend not to see me and if you can get me off the cage I love to sit on your shoulder and will step up very nicely. As you can see I have plucked almost all of my chest and under wing feathers. The Doctor thinks most of these are permanent and will not grow back (but we all know bald is beautiful!) I’m learning about fruits and veggies and foster mom is trying to change my seed diet to pellets. She thinks that once I get past my shyness I’ll be a wonderful forever friend!!

 Lovebird bonded to quaker parrot Scooter available for adoption Florida Parrot RescueScooter quaker parro bonded to lovebird Pee Wee available for adoption Florida Parrot Rescue

“SCOOTER & PEE WEE”
Quaker Parrot and Lovebird
*bonded – must be adopted together*
Adoption Fee $75 or $125 with Cage

Medical hold on this bird - inquire for details

Scooter and PeeWee are a bonded pair of fids, Scooter is a quaker and Pee Wee is a lovebird. They have been in foster for almost 2 years.  Scooter is estimated to be approximately 10 years old. PeeWee’s age is uncertain, but estimated to be 4-6yrs old. They have been together in the same cage since PeeWee was introduced at a young age and are bonded and are to remain together. 

Scooter is your typical quaker in that she is territorial of her cage and her “things” so if you put your hands in her cage, expect to be confronted by her beak! She can become quite loud when she is scared or startled, but it doesn’t last long. She “mumbles” like so many quakers. Some words you can figure out and some not. I know Scooter is a she because she has laid a few eggs since being in rescue. Scooter enjoys playing with her toys, especially the ones with bells and she will come out of her cage if you leave the door open. Once she is out of her cage you can get her to step up and if you take her in another room she is a very different bird.

PeeWee is a real friendly little bird. She will step right up, give kisses, and will sit on your shoulder all day long if you let her. She is very gentle when out of cage but has become a bit nippy once or twice when I was messing with her toys and things inside the cage. It could be because she sees Scooter react that way whenever you get close to the cage she goes on the defense!!! PeeWee sleeps every night in a birdy bunk and she is very playful and interacts well with humans. She is equally as comfortable with me as my husband and has never bitten us.  Both birds are both on a mixture of pellet, seed, dried fruits and nuts. They enjoy a few people foods like english muffins with peanut butter, pasta, rice, grapes and apples. We have tried some others, but this is what they have accepted so far.

If you are looking for fun birds, these two may be just for you. Please contact us with any questions!

 Mama Gump Quaker Parrot available for adoption Florida Parrot Rescue

“MAMA GUMP”
Quaker Parrot
Adoption Fee $50 or $100 with Cage

 

 

Hi, my name is Mama Gump and I’m a Green Quaker Parrot. I’m very shy and a little cage aggressive (hey, I’m a quaker after all!), but I will take food from your hand. I am on a pelleted diet with fresh fruits and veggies and some nuts. I may look a little funny though because my wing was broken at one point in my life and I wasn’t treated by a vet, but it doesn’t cause me any pain and I am just fine! My name was Buddy, but after I laid eggs, my mom changed my name to Mama Gump!  Won’t you come meet me and then take me home?

Sunny the sun conure bonded to Ariel the cockatiel available for adoption Florida Parrot Rescue Ariel the cockatiel bonded to Sunny the sun conure available for adoption Florida Parrot Rescue

“SUNNY & ARIEL”
bonded Sun Conure and Cockatiel
*bonded pair – must be adopted together*
Adoption Fee $100 or $150 with Cage

 

These two are quite the colorful pair! Sunny is a gorgeous sun conure and Ariel is a beautiful little cockatiel. These two absolutely adore each other. They love to spend time cuddling in their cozy hut and playing with their toys. They are a little shy at first, but have slowly, but surely, been coming out of their shell, they are handleable but a little timid right now, but we are positive that once they become a little more comfortable in their foster home, that they will be very affectionate with us too! They are currently being converted to a better diet to include pellets and fresh fruits and vegetables.  We believe they are both about 10 years young! If you are looking for a lovely little couple to add to your flock, this might be just the pair for you!

 Sammy Senegal available for adoption Florida Parrot RescueSammy Senegal available for adoption Florida Parrot RescueSammy Senegal available for adoption Florida Parrot Rescue

“SAMMY”
Senegal
Adoption Fee $250 no cage available

Greetings humans! I am Sammy the Senegal and I am here to invade your life. No? Okay. Well, I can talk and I sound like other Parrots. In my previous home, I was never out of my cage nor was I given much attention. I get scared when out of my cage and will try to get away. Foster mom picks me up in a towel and scratches my head until I stop shaking. My foster parents are working with me to gain my trust. They are showing me different foods to eat instead of just sunflower seeds. (Doc told me I was overweight.) Like most Senegal Parrots, I am quiet and very intelligent. I am independent, but I really don’t like being alone and hope you have other feathered kids for me to talk to. I can’t wait to find my new mommy and daddy and soak up all the love they will give me!

Kiwi Green Cheek Conure available for adoption Florida Parrot RescueKiwi Green Cheek Conure available for adoption Florida Parrot Rescue

“KIWI”
Cinnamon Chested Green Cheek Conure
Adoption fee $75 or $125 with Cage

Kiwi is about 2.5 years old, and is a cinnamon-chested, green-cheeked conure. She is a young bird and not well socialized. She is learning to trust me, and has a very playful spirit. I call her my squeaky bird. She loves to chitter chatter at you. We play games, she will stick one foot through the cage bars and attempt to grab your finger. It’s very charming until she leans down and bites! She is a bitey bird right now, and I do get bitten every day. She appears to be doing this in play, and I correct her with a “No”! It is a slow going as I try to show her acceptable ways to play. She has only bitten me hard once. She is mischievous and can open her cage doors, so we use plastic clips to keep them closed. She is very cute and endearing, even though she bites! She sleeps cuddled up to this fuzzy toy that hangs from the top of her cage. She also steps up. She has potential to be an awesome birdy companion once she settles down a little!

Update on Kiwi (April 2012):  After many months, she has decided to trust me and doesn’t bite me any more. She loves to play and clown, climbing all over her cage. She is a bit cage defensive, and will try to nip you through the cage bars. She is a good bird who steps up nicely to a perch, and once out of her cage, she steps up to your finger. She has her own trademark noise with three-syllables that sound like she is saying “Squeaky bird!” She loves to groom other people. She loves to sit on your shoulder or head, but does not really like to be touched. She eats bird pellets, conure mix (with lots of interesting tidbits inside so she doesn’t get bored) plus she loves fresh fruits and veggies. She enjoys applesauce and warm sweet potato, spooned to her like the royalty that she is! She thrives on praise! When she is a good bird, she doesn’t want a sunflower seed as a treat. She will throw it on the floor like a game! But she loves to be told how good she is, and what a pretty bird she is. She will make a fantastic companion bird to a forever home and she would enjoy the company of another bird!

Little Guy Senegal Parrot for adoption Florida Parrot Rescue

“Little Guy” Senegal Parrot
Adoption Fee $250 Or $325 With Cage

Little guy is a wonderfully sweet Senegal Parrot, still young, less than a few years old and extremely affectionate. He loves to hang out on your shoulder and snuggle with you and will go to anyone. He is being converted to a more nutritious diet of pellets with fresh fruits and vegetables as opposed to the seeds he was accustomed to eating previously. He does talk some and picks up on words and sound imitations very easily. He is not bothered by other animals, including other birds, and he is very entertaining and fun to be around! As you can see, he does have feathers missing around his neck, but we are hoping that with time, he will allow those to grow back in. If you are looking for a fun, animated and affectionate small bird, then Little Guy is for you!

 Chloe-Girl Goffin Cockatoo available for adoption Florida Parrot Rescue

“CHLOE-GIRL” Goffin Cockatoo
Adoption Fee $350 Or $550 With Cage

 

This sweet, 15 year old Goffin Cockatoo is Chloe. She came from a breeder and is permanently plucked around her neck and head area, although she no longer plucks. She is lovely and gentle and would, not only make the perfect first bird, but she would be a great bird for an older child. She steps up and is the more quiet of the Cockatoos. Goffin Cockatoos are not known to be talkers but eventually can learn to say a few words or repeat some sounds such as a microwave, etc.

Are you willing to spend an hour or more per day with Chloe, hanging out and maybe watching some tv? She is highly trainable and loves having her head and face scratched and caressed. She loves playing on the top of her cage or on her play stand. She also enjoys toys that she can demolish! She’s a great eater and eats pellets and seeds plus carrots, squash, rice and even chicken, lettuce and spinach!

Contact us to set up an appointment and meet this elegant Goffin named Chloe.
You’ll be glad you did!

 Millie Goffins Cockatoo available for adoption Florida Parrot RescueMillie Goffins Cockatoo available for adoption Florida Parrot Rescue

“MILLIE”
Goffins Cockatoo
Adoption Fee $350 or $550 with cage

Hi, my name is Millie (or Millie Moo once you get to know me), and I am a 6 year old Goffin cockatoo.  My mom was very sick and could not take care of me, so I set out on a path of finding a new family that will enjoy my company.  I was worried about my mom and started plucking my feathers, but the doctor said that the feathers will come back.  Even without the feathers, I am a very pretty girl.  I am very rambunctious but quiet, like a typical Goffin, and like to stay busy in or out of the cage or be completely content riding around on your shoulder or watching TV with you.   I have lots of toys and enjoy all kinds of treats, even vanilla ice cream!  My vocabulary is not very extensive but I can say “Millie”, “Millie Moo”, “Night Night”, and  “Hello.”  My foster family thinks I sound like a squeaky toy when I talk. I grew up in a house with all kinds of animals, so I am accustomed to all kinds of family members, even kids.  I love getting attention and will reciprocate by cooing in your ear and warbling when I am content.   I have lots of love to give for many years, hopefully, with your family!

 Poppy Sun Conure available for adoption Florida Parrot Rescue

“POPPY”
Sun Conure

Adoption Fee $75 or $125 With Cage

 

Poppy is a very healthy, 12 year old male sun conure who is in perfect feather. Poppy will do best in a one person home, preferably female, with no children, as those are his preferences for socialization. Poppy has lots of quirks, such as he doesn’t like whistling, but loves spaghetti and Lady Gaga! Poppy will make a wonderful companion to the right person who is prepared to be very patient and loving to earn his trust and he has many years left to give as conures can live to be 30-40 years old!

 

 


Calypso Jenday Conure available for adoption Florida Parrot Rescue

“CALYPSO” Jenday Conure
Adoption Fee $75 Or $125 With Cage

 

Hi, I am a Jenday Conure and I am 18 years old. I am a little shy at first, but non aggressive, but I do not like men or dogs. I am a little plucked on my chest, but we are hoping that will stop, I eat Zupreem natural pellets and a small amount of seed and fresh fruit and veggies, I will step up and am a quiet birdy… won’t you give me a forever home?

Cookie & Petie bonded pair of Quaker parrots available for adoption Florida Parrot RescueCookie & Petie bonded pair of Quaker parrots available for adoption Florida Parrot Rescue

“COOKIE & PETIE”
bonded pair of Quaker Parrots
**must be adopted together**

Adoption Fee $100 Or $150 With Cage

 

Cookie and Petie are a bonded Quaker Parrots, and they are around 14 years old. They do vocalize in the morning and evening, which is of course, normal for this species. They play together and with their toys, and they are fun to watch; they also like to sing together. They do not want to be handled yet, but they will come over to you if you talk to them. They are on a seed diet, and we are introducing them to fruits and vegetables and converting them to a pellet diet.

Fletcher Goffin Cockatoo for adoption Florida Parrot RescueFletcher Goffins Cockatoo available for adoption Florida Parrot RescueFletcher Goffins Cockatoo available for adoption Florida Parrot Rescue

“FLETCHER” Goffin Cockatoo
Adoption Fee $350 Or $550 With Cage

Hello Bird fanciers; you have seen people that age so well that they do not look like their age? This is the case with our sweet Goffin Cockatoo, Fletcher. He is 32 and does not look or act like it, even the vet was very stunned when he went for his annual physical. Because of his age he is very level headed and will be a great addition to your family when you gain his trust. He comes from a background where he was not handled very much and we are working to correct this, his new foster was able to get him to step up and hold him for about a hour on his 1st day in her home. He craves neck scratches and if no one is available to do it, he will take a Popsicle stick and scratch his own neck. All he asks from you is Love and Companionship. Won’t you please take the time to read about Goffins and how they will fit into your life, or better yet, because he is not a typical Goffin, please ask us any questions you have about him as we are always happy to answer!

Kizmet Hahn's Macaw for adoption Florida Parrot RescueKizmet the Hahns Macaw is letting his feathers grow back in after switching to a better diet.  Available for adoption through Florida Parrot Rescue.Kizmet the Hahns Macaw is letting his feathers grow back in after switching to a better diet.  Available for adoption through Florida Parrot Rescue.

“KIZMET” Hahn’s Macaw
Adoption Fee $350 Or $550 With Cage

 

Kizmet is a two year old Hahn’s Macaw. As you can see, he has plucked his chest feathers, but he is downy and it appears he may allow them to grow back. Kizmet is a typical Hahn’s, he can be a little pushy and is always trying to get into trouble (tried to eat my pencil, my keyboard, the mouse, the buttons on my shirt, my cup, my phone, the remote, etc… obviously he likes to chew on things and will need A LOT of toys at all times and to have them changed out often for variety!) but he is a VERY nice bird! He does seem to prefer men, but will go to women as well. Once he trusts you, he will step up for you and will try to steal food off of your plate! He will eat pellets and almonds, but so far doesn’t seem interested in fruits and vegetables, we will keep working on that! Kizmet can talk a little, so far he has said “Hello” and we suspect he can talk more as he makes various other sounds. Kizmet does want A LOT of human companionship, he would like to be out of his cage and on your shoulder 24/7! We are trying to teach him that on the hand or in the lap is a better alternative to the shoulder. Kizmet does not appear to be a screamer although his calls can be loud, which is normal. Kizmet seemed a little scared of dogs and cats at first, but he has now gotten used to them and seems fine around them, other birds also do not bother Kizmet. Hahn’s macaws are the smallest of the Mini macaws, measuring about 12-14 in length, but they have all the sass of the big boys! They are not beginner birds for sure! Hahn’s do need training and can be nippy at times, so they do take a lot of patience. Hahn’s can live to be 40-50 years old, so if you decide to adopt Kizmet, he would be a life long companion!

UPDATE ON KIZMET:  Kizmet is a great bird.  As you can see from the new pics he is starting to let his feathers grow in and he is starting to enjoy showers with me as well.  He now only seems to like me (a woman) and although he will let one or two other people move him from point A to point B, he is definitely a macaw in the true sense as he chooses one person he really likes and that is the person he wants to cuddle and be very affectionate with. Once he chooses that person though, he is very trusting, you can do anything with him and he is comfortable with it.  He will make a great companion and I really believe that in about a year as long as the proper diet and socialization continue, his feathering will be perfect.

 

 Chester and Jack Quakers for adoption Florida Parrot Rescue

“CHESTER & JACK” Quakers
**BONDED PAIR – MUST BE ADOPTED TOGETHER**

Adoption Fee $100 Or $175 With Cage

***SPECIAL NEEDS***

Chester is a splayed leg Quaker Parrot who is laid back and gets around very well. Chester thinks he/she is no different than his buddy Jack! The two are bonded. Chester is the one to protect Jack and their cage. Once Chester is out of the cage he/she is a sweetheart. Chester will lay directly on your chest and rest his beak on your chest while you are petting and talking or sit there nicely looking around. Chester also enjoys sitting in the palm of your hand to hang out. Jack is a curious Quaker. Jack is always wanting to try new things and investigate on his own if within cage reach. Jack is usually the one to try to take away Chester’s toy or anything to get a squawk! Jack likes to ride on your shoulder and nuzzle in your hair. Jack and Chester both enjoy sitting on kids fingers and being petted and talked to. Neither birds talk but have their own language when you come into the room to say your hello or goodnight. Chester & Jack are healthy, lively birds that have been converted to a diet of pellets and fresh fruits and vegetables and are now looking for their forever home!

 

 Snowflake Goffin Cockatoo for adoption Florida Parrot Rescue

“SNOW FLAKE” Goffin Cockatoo
Adoption Fee $350 Or $550 With Cage

 

Snow Flake is a lively, funny, silly and VERY loving little Goffin Cockatoo. She is a bit shy and does not really understand the “step up” command yet but is working on that with her foster family. She loves head scritches and being cuddled up nice and close, but STRONGLY prefers men. Don’t be fooled though, she is the typical Cockatoo and can get bratty. Don’t let his size fool you though. There’s a lot of cockatoo in that little body!

She has not shown any aggression but can be loud when feeling ignored. He also speaks, but only she knows most of the words, lol! But, if you are looking for a spunky but loving little friend, Snow Flake just may be the perfect bird for you!

Tiko Nanday Conure for adoption Florida Parrot Rescue

“TIKO” Nanday Conure Mix
Adoption Fee $75 Or $125 With Cage

The vet describes Tiko as a Nanday Conure Mix, he definitely has a lot of nanday in him but also a little of something else that she is not sure of, either way, he is just gorgeous! We think Tiko about 7-10 years old and he is in great health. He is a bit larger for a Nanday, but so handsome! He steps up and loves to spend his days sitting on top of his cage, standing in the doorway of his cage playing with his favorite toy or shredding the paper on the bottom of his cage and re-arranging it to suit Tiko’s preference. Behavior: Tiko will “Step-up” for you as long as he is out of his cage. He is very intelligent and sweet but will need someone to teach this willing student to express himself and converse with his for-ever “flock”. He really likes to do loop to loops on his favorite perch! He is OK with Dogs…ignores them really…they are not worthy, lol! Just a great bird who will make a great lifetime companion!

“BUDDY & DAISY”
Sun Conure & Dusky Conure
**bonded pair – must be adopted together**

Adoption Fee $150 Or $225 With Cage

Buddy is a 6 year old sun conure. He is a friendly boy who will step up. He makes all kinds of noises, but has yet to talk, even though he was said to know how to say “Get me!” and “nite nite!” He loves to sit on your shoulder, and loves any out-of-cage time. He enjoys the company of his cage-mate Daisy. Daisy is about 3, and is a Dusky Conure. She emits a high pitched teakettle whistle to get attention. She loves to be out of the cage, with Buddy in sight. They are bonded and sleep together on a perch. They love to chew and exercise their beaks! They will bite holes in your shirt, so designate a few bird shirts, sew on some buttons, and watch them have fun with all the different textures! They love to groom people, especially ears. They can be nippy, but stop when told “No”. They can be nippy also when they think they’ve been in the cage too long. They are very opinionated! They are a lot of fun and have such personalities! No shy birds here! Please note that Daisy does NOT like children and will bite them, not nip. Buddy also loves to bathe in his water dish.
