Today we had some awesome volunteers come help at the rescue! brought a friend who is about ready to move off to his assignment in San Diego and he wanted to get some more community hours. They cleaned cages, fed and watered all the birds, gave treats, washed bowls, and were a huge help! They had a great time and learned alot, although their ears are probably still ringing lol. Come back anytime Brittany!!♥️

Happy Earth Day from all of us at Totally Flocked!

Today we honor the only home we—and our flock—will ever have. From lush rainforests to coastal breezes, our planet provides the beauty and balance that make life possible.

At our rescue, we see firsthand how every creature plays a role in nature’s story. Parrots are wild by design—brilliant, social, and deeply connected to the rhythms of the Earth. When we protect their habitats, reduce waste, and support ethical animal care, we’re not just saving birds… we’re saving entire ecosystems.

Let’s be the voice for those who can’t speak.
Let’s protect the wild.
Let’s care more, waste less, and love louder.

Because when the Earth thrives, we all do.

So you’re thinking about getting a parrot?
Before you fall for their cute antics an beautiful feathers, let’s talk reality.

Parrots are loud, messy, demanding, brilliant creatures with big emotions—and they’re not the right fit for every home.

Ask yourself:
• Got a newborn or work from home? They’re loud. Really loud.
• Travel often or gone all day? They get lonely.
• Super tidy or allergic? They’re messy and dusty.
• Tight on money? Proper food, vet care, and toys are expensive.
• What if your bird bonds with someone else in the house? It happens. A lot.

And let’s talk about complexity.
Parrots aren’t just “talking birds”—they’re wild animals in captive environments. Even with the best care, you may still face hormone-driven behavior, screaming, biting, or feather destruction. It’s not always about what you’re doing wrong—it’s often just who they are and how they process the world.

But when they’re not getting proper nutrition, mental stimulation, social interaction, or emotional support? These behaviors are almost guaranteed. Parrots need more than a cage and a cute toy—they need purpose, patience, and a caregiver willing to learn and grow with them.

These are exactly the reasons there are hundreds of thousands of parrots in rescues right now. On average, parrots are rehomed 7 to 10 times in their lives.
For animals this smart—who bond deeply and grieve just like we do—that’s heartbreaking.

We’re not trying to scare you off. We just want people to choose with compassion and clarity and to STOP the cycle of rehoming these beautiful souls.

Parrots can be incredible companions—but only when the fit is right.

Yup. All of this!!

A good reminder!!

The weather is getting nice so I want to take a minute to talk about how you can keep your bird from being on an “Eyes to the skies” alert.

If you don’t know the Facebook group Parrot Alert 911, it’s a good group to be part of and only focuses on lost birds.

This is not a post to upset anyone or start a debate this is just information you may not know that you need to be aware of if you have birds.

* Just because your birds wings are clipped does NOT mean it can’t fly!!! Especially outside!!

* I don’t care how bonded your bird is to you, if it gets scared enough, and there are a lot of scary things outside, instinct will override, and instinct is flight.

* Just because your bird is recall trained in the house, does not mean it’s safe to take outside without a harness or carrier.

*If your bird is flighted in the house and you want to fly outside you need to find a mentor or flight class to help you, things are very different outside and even experienced trained fliers get lost

* Just because your bird knows how to fly in the house, does NOT mean it knows how to descend from a 50-foot tree with outdoor elements in play

*Just because your bird has never flown before or you have been told it can’t fly, does not mean that it can’t open its wings and catch air.

Be safe not sorry!!! Even if it’s just to an outdoor cage or to your car or porch, put your bird in a harness or a carrier!!! I’ve already seen multiple posts of lost birds, and we don’t want yours to be one of them!!!

💦 Is it too cold to shower outside? Not here in NW Florida! ☀️🦜

Someone asked if it was too chilly for our birds to be getting their outdoor showers—and I genuinely appreciate the question. Thoughtful curiosity is always welcome here at Totally Flocked 💚

We’re big believers in letting our flock experience the real world—sunshine, breeze, warmth, and community. Most of these birds have never known what it feels like to bathe like a bird should. And let me tell you… once they realize it’s safe? They thrive.

Showers aren’t just about hygiene—they’re about healing.

even the birds who were once scared come alive in the sun, surrounded by their flockmates. It’s more than a bath—it’s a moment of peace, freedom, and joy.

10 Common Myths About Rescue Parrots (and the Truth Behind Them)

1. “They’re like dogs, just in a cage.”
Truth: Parrots are wild animals, not domesticated pets. They need freedom, flight time, and complex mental stimulation—not confinement.

2. “If they bite, they’re mean.”
Truth: Biting is communication, not cruelty. It’s usually fear, stress, or confusion—and it’s our job to listen and adjust.

3. “All rescue parrots are damaged.”
Truth: Many rescue birds thrive once given proper care, patience, and love. They’re not broken—they’ve just been through too much alone.

4. “You can teach any bird to talk.”
Truth: Talking isn’t guaranteed—and it’s not a measure of intelligence. Some of our smartest birds never say a word.

5. “Rescues just hoard birds.”
Truth: Legit rescues like ours follow strict intake, quarantine, and enrichment protocols to give each bird the best possible care—not just a place to perch. ** Not every bird in rescue is adoptable—and that’s okay.

Some parrots come to us with deep emotional wounds, severe behavioral challenges, or complex medical needs that make rehoming unsafe or unfair.

Whether it’s a macaw who panics around people, a cockatoo with neurological issues, or an Amazon with a history of trauma that can’t be undone—these birds aren’t “unwanted.” They’re forever flock members.

6. “Parrots are easy to rehome.”
Truth: Many birds bond deeply or struggle with change. Rehoming can be traumatic without the right environment and understanding.

7. “All parrots love attention.”
Truth: Some birds crave social time, others prefer quiet observation. Just like people, they each have unique personalities and boundaries.

8. “A rescue bird is a cheap way to get a parrot.”
Truth: The adoption fee is nothing compared to the cost of proper care. Food, vet visits, toys, enclosures—it adds up fast.

9. “You can force a bond with time.”
Truth: Trust is earned, not demanded. Some birds never want physical contact, and that’s okay—they still deserve love and respect.

10. “If you can’t adopt, you can’t help.”
Truth: Fostering, donating, volunteering, or even just sharing our posts makes a difference. Rescue is a community effort.

Over the last few months we had some great adoptions and matches. We cleaned the cages!

However we currently have around 20 parrots that permanently reside here and wil remain in our care for the rest of their lives. Whether it was committing to a previous owner for sanctuary or behavior, psychological, or health issues, we are fully committed to Showing each and every single one a life of love, affection, good food, toys, and endless amounts of scritches and hugs.
