✨ ADOPTED • Sweet Belle ✨

Today was a big, beautiful day for Belle — the sweetest, cutest little Timneh grey with the gentlest soul. After two visits to make sure everything felt just right, Belle officially went home with her new mama today. 💛

And let me tell you… the excitement is REAL. We’ve already received update photos, and Belle looks completely content — curious, calm, and right where she’s meant to be.

She was an absolute doll baby here, the kind that quietly steals your heart without even trying. Watching her leave to begin this next chapter was emotional in the very best way.

Belle, we wish you a lifetime filled with love, patience, safety, soft words, and all the scritches your little heart desires.
You were so very loved here — and now you’re perfectly placed for forever. 🦜✨

Happy life, sweet girl. 💕

Today’s Intakes 🤍🦜 A Safe Landing, Together

Last week, our friend Jenna at Soaring Spirits reached out about two macaws who needed a safe landing. They were closer to us geographically, so we told her we’d gladly see how we could help.

Today, we drove several hours to meet their owner of 25 years and to be there as she said her final goodbyes.
Twenty-five years they were her(and her husband who she also sadly lost recently) everything — and it shows in every feather, every behavior, every bit of trust they carry.

It was emotional. Heavy. Beautiful.
That kind of love doesn’t disappear… the ache will always be there.

And yet — these two still made us laugh on the drive home, casually saying “mmmm wanna bite” while we ate our road snacks like absolute comedians. 🥹
They’re settled in for the night now, cozying up to each other like they always have.

Meet Mika, a Blue & Gold Macaw, and Tookay (yes… because he cost $2K 😉), a Greenwing Macaw.
They have no sad story — except that they are outliving their beloved parront.

They have never been apart, and they will only be placed together.

These are my favorite kinds of intakes — because you can literally see the love that was poured into them for decades.
It’s an honor to be their trusted hands, their safe landing, their bridge to what comes next.

They were incredibly lucky to have 25 years of devotion.
Now our job is to find them exactly that same level of love in their next home — nothing less.🩷

Today we had a visitor.

An older gentleman who recently lost his beloved bird to old age. We’d chatted a few days ago when he mentioned wanting to make a donation. Instead, he surprised me by showing up with $167 worth of goodies for the flock.

We laughed, he talked sweet to the birds, listened to their stories, and we swapped a few old law-enforcement stories along the way. It was one of those quiet, meaningful visits that stays with you. 💛

And a few days ago -
We also received a monetary donation of $120 made in honor of a family member who loves and owns birds. I was able to present them with a certificate, and it truly filled my heart.

Every single donation carries meaning. Some are tied to loss. Some to love. Some to memories.
And in times when things are hard or tight, the fact that people still choose kindness is humbling beyond words.

Whether it’s $5, $50, a cage, a toy, or a box of supplies - we are deeply, sincerely grateful.

For the birds. And for the hearts behind every gift. 🦜💚

No bird left behind. 🩷

To every sanctuary, rescue, wildlife rehabilitator, and foster network --
We cannot thank enough those amazing humans out there that put in the blood, sweat, and tears every single day to run rescues/sanctuaries.
To truly witness cruelty, mourn the losses, and live for the days when you "win" one.
Thank you 💚

We need your help — urgently.**

Even with intakes officially closed, last week alone we brought in FOUR birds.
💛 Two families had been planning their surrenders for weeks and finally reached the day they had to let go.
💙 Two others needed an immediate safety net — no time to wait, no safe place to go.

And now…
❤️ We’re picking up two more macaws this weekend who need a safe landing immediately.

On top of that, with the recent cold weather rolling in, we had to bring our sanctuary macaws inside from the outdoor aviaries — which means every large cage we own is now full or being used for weather safety.

We are officially OUT of macaw-sized cages.

⸻

**🦜 WE’RE IN URGENT NEED OF:

Macaw-Sized Cages (Good or Gently Used Condition)**

When a big bird loses their home, the very first thing they need is a safe place to land, stretch, settle, and breathe.
A proper cage is the beginning of their healing — and right now, we do not have any spares left to offer.

If you have a gently used or good-condition macaw cage you’re no longer using — and you’re in Pensacola or the surrounding areas — we would be SO grateful.

Your donated cage becomes:
✨ A refuge from fear
✨ A safe landing in a moment of crisis
✨ A soft place to start again

⸻

Please message us if you can help. Your donation is tax deductible!🥰

Your kindness truly makes these safe landings possible.
No bird left behind. ❤️🦜

Today was a huge day for sweet Kelly, our 40-year-old Red-Lored Amazon.
She walked into her vet visit like a champ — stepping up onto a perch, onto the scale, and handling her exam with so much grace.

She did get a little mild sedation to help keep her calm, which left her looking like she had a long night out partying 😂 — but once the reversal kicked in, this gentle girl absolutely FLOURISHED.

When we got home… she did something she hasn’t done since arriving:
She stepped up onto my hand.
And then she accepted scritches… and kept leaning in for more.
My heart melted.

This sweet, soft-spoken old girl has so much love to give.
She’s going to make someone an incredible, loyal, deeply bonded companion.

💛 If you think you might be her future person, keep an eye out — she’ll be available once her results come back and she’s fully settled.

✨ VET DAY UPDATE for Our New Intakes: Kelly & Angel ✨
Because rescue isn’t all cuddles and showers… sometimes it’s bloodwork, biopsies, and carrying bags of p**p into the vet like it’s totally normal. 🤷‍♀️🩺💩

🌸 Angel — Our 30-year-old Goffin’s Cockatoo Queen
Angel strutted into her appointment like she owned the place — dancing in her crate, stepping up for everyone, and eventually letting us weigh her after two short flights around the room (she said she needed her warm-up laps).
Her weight? 246 grams — perfectly in the normal range for a Goffin.

She’s converting beautifully to our pellets and healthy seeds, and we’ve already removed her old “mop head” toy — yes, the one she loved, but no, it was not helping her hormones. In classic Angel fashion, she handled her first big shower here like a champ. It’s incredible how much brighter and healthier her feathers looked after just one real soaking.

She did get a partial blow-dry — not my usual protocol — but she was soaked to the bone and not shaking the water off. Once she realized the dryer wasn’t a predator, she leaned into it like she was at a spa. 😂
This week she’ll get another soaking bath with soothing aloe to calm a little skin inflammation.

🍃 Kelly — Our 40-year-old Red-Lored Amazon
Kelly blew us away today. She stepped up onto a tiny perch like she’s done it her whole life — even for the scale. She clocked in at 410 grams. Within normal range, but definitely on the “chunky-monkey” side, so we’ll be helping her ease off the whole peanuts and shift into healthier options.

This gentle old girl absolutely melted me today. She allowed scritches- then we both melted. 🥺

Because of her age and diet history, she received a little mild sedation to keep her calm for her visit — which resulted in her looking like she had a long night out on the town. 😂
We drew blood to check her levels, especially liver values (Amazons + high fat diets = big risk for fatty liver disease). We also took a small biopsy of a growth on her lower belly. It appears to be a fatty tumor, but we’ll wait for results before making decisions. She handled everything with grace.

Once she received her reversal, she perked up quickly — and when we got home, she stepped onto my hand for the very first time. She even let me give her more scritches while she perched there. What a special, sweet soul. 💛

🦜 And Brandy?
Our blue & gold macaw diva got a new antibiotic for some stubborn gram-negative bacteria.
Yes, I walked into the clinic carrying a baggie of p**p like it was no big deal. Rescue life keeps you humble. 😅. You’re welcome Teresa!😝🥰

💛 If anyone would like to help offset today’s vet costs, we would be incredibly grateful. Our costs today were $585.70. We had some “bonus points” available so we were able to save $200!

Vet days are some of the most important — and the most expensive — parts of rescue. Every donation helps us keep these birds safe, healthy, and thriving.

So disheartening. Please ask questions.
