Happy Bird-day to Mona!

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

Not our bird. Please contact original poster

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]

Meet "G***k"

G***k has been with us for approximately 2 years and we are trying to find someone super special for him

He is near and dear to my heart and we would love to see him go to a home where he was the center of attention.

He will take some time to warm up to you but once he does he will be you BFF.

G***k is not super fond of cats or dogs, and despite being a Jenday (new world) conure, here he is not suoer loud. However they can always change.

G***k is roughly 16 years old, eat tropican lifetime granules, with some veggies

Please fill out the adoption form linked on the page below.

Adoption fees apply

Meet Pierre!!

Pierre is a handsome approximately 12 year old senegal looking for a new home.

He would do best with a male owner, or an older female (50-60)

Pierre loves interaction and is inquisitive about visitors but does take time to warm up to new things (as do most parrots)

Senegals are 'old world parrots' and are on the 'quieter' side of the parrot species.... though they can still be shrill at times

Pierre does speak, however thst should never be the main reason for wanting a parrot as they do come with a lot of responsibility, cost and upkeep.

Pierre is located in Dartmouth and we are helping his owner find him a new perch to call home
Fees can be discussed after basic questions and answers

He does come with his own cage but his new owner should be prepared to upgrade as his current cage will not be suitable for much longer.

We have much more info and videos for interested parties.

No we will not answer to "how much" or to "my child wants a parrot".

Please remember these guys are living, breathing beings with the intelligence of a 5 years old child.
