The party never stops with Baby 🎉🥳

This guy would do best in a home where he is not caged when people are around. He wants to be part of the action all the time!

If you work from home 🏡 and don't mind a bit of cockatoo party 🥳 he might be for you.

He is fast, energetic, and loves throwing empty plastic bottles around the room. He gets excited quickly and loves to dance. 💃🕺

Baby loves attention and cuddles! He will be your little shadow, following you everywhere and jumping on your shoulder to be part of the action!

Cockatoos are very unique and can be difficult to own. Baby absolutely hates being in his cage when people are home and will call out (very) loudly to be let out. He is a good eater and loves his chop and pellets!

He's been to the vet for a full checkup and his feather plucking is behavioral. He is finally letting his little fluffs grow in! 🪶

💛💚TILA is still waiting for his forever home!

Tila is a double yellow headed amazon. He is on the quieter side for amazons, but definitely chooses who he likes. He will need a home that is willing to work with him on positive reinforcement and creating a relationship!

Tila is on a great diet of Harrisons pellets and chop. He is a little bit of a perch potato!

Application as well as other birds available for adoption on our website:

🤍Introducing BOBO (honorary Cockatoo)🤍

You may remember seeing Bobo arrive at the Roost a short time ago! He spent some time settling in at his foster home, before making the trip to VCA Canada District Animal Hospital so Dr. Alice could meet him😍

Bobo is the best bunny “birb” you’ll ever meet, super sweet and will literally fall asleep snuggling on your lap!
He will spend some more time in his foster home taking the medications prescribed by our amazing vet team, before being neutered and looking for his forever home🏡

If you’d like to help with Bobo’s care, you can send an etransfer to [email protected]❤️

Thoughts of the day...🧠 💭

A reminder that most rescues (including us!) Are run by ***volunteers***.

Our board members and foster homes are all volunteers. We do this in our spare time. We have kids, full time jobs, animals of our own, and hobbies. We do not get paid to take in birds or drive endless hours. We do not receive any money for our time and effort.

Our hearts are full of passion for birds in need, and we use our precious spare space and time to help when we can.

We do not have a facility. We do not have a building. We do not have unlimited resources.

We do our very best to help people and birds in need but please remember that we are all volunteers.

We skip family dinners, fill the extra space in our homes with cages, clean constantly, lose sleep, and miss time with our own animals to help others.

Please be patient with us. We can only do so much.

We are volunteers. ❤️

🩶❤️🩶❤️Another day of rescue in the books.🩶❤️🩶❤️

Today we went to get 3 african greys from a home of two seniors. Their family was concerned for the birds' wellbeing due to the owner's failing health.

Surprise to us, they also had a bunny and a pigeon. We couldn't leave them behind, so off we went with the 5 animals.

The photos attached are not for the feint of heart. These animals were very well loved but in the past few years their care went to the wayside.

Please check in on your aging family members and their animals. This is preventable.

All 3 greys and the bunny will be seeing our friends at VCA Canada District Animal Hospital on Monday. The pigeon was placed with a lovely family who was happy to take her in.

Donations can be made on our account at VCA district, by etransfer to [email protected], or by purchasing items on our Amazon wishlist located here: https://www.amazon.ca/hz/wishlist/ls/OCYGEFPWUWC9?ref_=wl_share

We are in DESPERATE need of LARGE PARROT foster homes!

Macaws and cockatoos continue to be surrendered and we don't have enough space! We need foster homes who are willing to take these large birds and help them become great family additions!

Foster homes are supplied with all they need - cages, toys, food, and even behavior support from our friends at Parrot SOS!

Large birds typically spend more time in rescue. For this reason, we need reliable foster homes who are willing to foster long term until these beautiful creatures find their forever homes!

Fostering is a great way to involve yourself in the parrot community and make a difference!

Let us know if you are interested today!
