For The Love Of Birds - New Jersey Exotic Bird Rescue

Meet Autumn 🍂 , a stunning 5-month-old baby girl cockatiel ready to steal your heart! With her soft feathers and curious personality, Autumn is still learning the ropes of being handled but is making great progress with her foster family.

She enjoys a pellet/seed mix and absolutely LOVES millet as a treat. She also adores shredding wicker toys, which keep her entertained for hours. Autumn is used to being around other birds, as she only recently left the flock in her birth home.

Autumn will need a patient and loving adopter who is committed to hand-taming and bonding. Since cockatiels can live into their twenties, we are looking for someone who has seriously considered the long-term commitment of giving her a forever home.

Location: Autumn is currently being fostered in Howell, NJ. In-person visits are required before adoption. Autumn’s ideal home will be dog- and cat-free to ensure her safety and comfort.

Meet Peanut and Pippi!

Peanut and Pippi are an adorable 8-year-old sibling pair of White-bellied Caiques still looking for their forever home. Hand-raised and hand-tame, they are sweet, playful, and full of personality. Peanut is the easygoing, protective big brother who loves chewing on wood toys and corks. Pippi is more timid and sometimes gets anxious, leading to light feather plucking.

Both birds are potty-trained and prefer to leave their cage to go in the morning. They aren’t overly loud but have typical Caique energy, so their chirps can occasionally be sharp. They enjoy fruits, veggies, and healthy snacks. They must be the only birds in their new home due to Peanuts dislike towards other birds.

Currently fostered in Wall, NJ, Peanut and Pippi are part of our Help with Rehoming program and remain with their current owners until adoption. They will only be adopted to a forever home within driving distance, and two visits are required before adoption.

Interested in meeting Peanut and Pippi?! Visit ftlob.rescuegroups.org to review our adoption policies and submit an application. Let’s find Peanut and Pippi their forever home! 💚💛

Looking for a feathered friend with a big personality and even bigger heart? Meet Shadow, a 32-year-old Congo African Grey who’s as playful and charming as they come! Shadow may have special needs, but that only makes him more unique and deserving of love.

With limited mobility in his right foot, Shadow requires daily anti-inflammatory medication and some extra care—but don’t let that fool you. He’s a toy-destroying enthusiast with a soft spot for bells, ropes, and even Crocs! Shadow is happiest playing, exploring, and munching on his favorite snacks like corn, green apples, and grapes.

This little adventurer is looking for a forever home with a female primary caregiver who has bird experience and a loving heart. Shadow thrives with attention and supervision, and his cheeky antics will keep you smiling every day. Fostered in Parsippany, NJ, he’s waiting for the perfect match to provide the care and companionship he deserves.

Could you be the one for Shadow? Learn more and apply to adopt him at ftlob.rescuegroups.org 💗!
