Privateer Parrot Rescue and Refuge *Foster&Adoptions*Refuge* *Available to hire for festivals/Community Events/Private functions*

having a passion for animals as long as i could remember, birds entered my life in my mid teens. what initially started out breeding small birds, turned into rescue and adoption when i realized the shear number of unwanted parrots and birds. i began learning and researching and networking with likeminded people, eventually marrying my love of acting and arts with working with rescued birds. traini

ng a few of the birds in a wide variety of situations, gaining their trust and helping them grow confidence many have become ambassadors of their species, accompanying me to many public events to help educate large numbers of people on the plight of captive and wild parrots. through many venues we have allowed people up close experiences with some of our flock and helped them gain insight and knowledge in the world of parrots. still fine tuning my skills, truly it is the parrots that train me. many of our birds are "lifers" that have difficult histories or behaviours. we do try and place birds to adoptive homes when we can and we are always willing to help, even if we dont have the right answer we will check things out or steer you in the right direction. bird mom, blogger, fighter for animal rights, artist, writer, jack of all trades and master of none ;)

This is what our food bill looks like for about 2 months. Add in pellets (another 200) and sunflower seeds for our picky guys. A big bag is about 250.

This is ONLY dry goods. This doesn't include fresh produce.

This is why rescues charge adoption fees. Reputable rescues don't make financial gains on things they sell or fees they have in place.

Einstein poses so nicely.

Einstein is a resident bird approximately 21 years old. He has had issues in the past with calcium absorption and suffered a broken wing and toe.

Over the years he has done much better, so much so that we feel comfortable having him in the aviary, however we have yoga mats down for both him and Buddy (who is 54) as a precaution

Private adoption:

Baugie is an eclectus parrot. He is at least 24 years old. He has been living in his current home for over ten years. He is very gentle and loves attention. He will thrive with someone who is home most of the time. He does have a history of plucking and new feathers are not coming back in certain areas of his body. He also needs his beak trimmed every 4 to 6 months. Eclectus parrots have special diet requirements and for this reason he needs to be rehomed to someone who has experience. Baugie’s needs for proper nutrition and frequent beak trimming can be costly.
There is a rehoming fee. He is located in Ajax, Ontario.
If you are interested in adopting Baugie, please send an email to: [email protected]
