❤️🤍💙

Today we pause to say thank you to every man and woman who has served in the United States Armed Forces. Your courage, sacrifice, and love for this country make the freedoms we enjoy possible.

From all of us here at The Hansen Team, we’re proud to live in a community filled with so many veterans and active-duty families. Pensacola truly knows what service looks like, and we’re grateful for each of you.

A special shout out to our teammates (Senior Airmen USAF) and .heisinger (husband Major Aaron Heisinger retired) for serving our country proudly!

🥕🫑 Chop Day at Totally Flocked! 🌽🥬

It’s that time again — shopping for our flock’s morning chop!
I follow the Bird Tricks Seasonal Feeding System, which not only keeps things fresh and fun for the birds but also helps balance hormones and promote better overall health.

This batch will feed our nearly 50 birds for about two weeks — talk about meal prep on a mission! 💪🐦
I switch up an ingredient or two every round to keep their taste buds curious and their diets rich in nutrients.

💡 Chop Tips:
• Always cook your beans/legumes thoroughly — raw can be dangerous for parrots.
• Add dry oats at the end to help absorb extra moisture before freezing.
• For smaller flocks, portion into quart or snack-size bags and freeze!
• Thaw overnight in the fridge and serve — no heating needed. Breakfast, ready to go! 🥣

Because around here, feeding time isn’t just routine — it’s a labor of love. 💚

Totally agree - While they don’t need to be “caged” together having another of their kind to talk to and feel like a flock is immensely important for a birds emotional and physical well being.

It was one of the greatest myths of the pet trade and possibly one of the most tragic untruths of all: that parrots should be kept as single pets in order to maintain the bond between the human and the bird. A tactic designed to forge an animal’s emotional dependency on human companionship; this might be acceptable on some level if a human could be depended upon as an adequate companion to parrots, but the typical outcome has been a bird condemned to a life of loneliness.

How many parakeets and cockatiels have lived and perished as single birds all alone, sitting in their cage with a mirror? Many parrots kept as single pets are well loved, but unless they have the benefit of a positive, reciprocal relationship with humans in the household they are no less lonely. Too many birds sit day after day in empty houses, waiting for their people to come home. Parrots have no way of constructively dealing with loneliness. They are hard wired to be connected to a flock, a family, a partner. In the wild a parrot is never alone. In captivity the parrot who vocalizes or lashes out in anger to protest his aloneness typically loses his home.

Big day here at the rescue!
With freezing temps rolling in tonight and tomorrow, we had to bring seven of our outdoor birds inside to stay cozy and safe. That meant a full day of organizing, cleaning, feeding, watering, rearranging cages, and setting up new spaces for everyone.

Thankfully, we had some amazing helpers and visitors who didn’t hesitate to grab a broom, haul cages, prep perches, and make sure every feathered friend had fresh food and water. Once everything was ready, we carefully transported all seven across the property and got them settled into the warm facility for the night.

And as if that wasn’t enough excitement for one day—our canaries found their forever home, and the adorable duo Sunny and Sprout were adopted together! 🥹💛

To top it all off, my good friend Codi from Feathers & Fangs stopped by, helped sweep, and sweet-talked the flock (which they absolutely loved).

I’m exhausted, but so grateful. It was a hugely productive day and my heart is full. Thank you to everyone who pitched in—we’ve got more moving and prepping ahead this week before insulation installation next weekend, but tonight… everyone’s safe, warm, and loved. 💚🦜

have I mentioned again today that we’re full?! Oh and don’t forget the hail that came through before moving cages - and Sasha took advantage of natures shower!

We had an another set of babies go to a wonderful home today. The two canaries are going to a home with other canaries and smaller birds. We sure wish them the best!!!❤️. And thank you to their new mama for all your help with feeding/watering the flock today.

These two cuties found their new home today!!!

While a previous adopter was here with her family helping get the birds bunkered down for the cold snap, they fell in love with Sprout and Sunny!

They’re a perfect fit for these two little cuties and so happy for all of them. And so thankful for all your help today guys!!!❤️❤️❤️

Believe me this looks better than it actually is.

Oh and this joker is my emotional support rooster. He’s pretty cool but doesn’t lift a finger to help.

🎥 Meet Our New Firecracker!

Say hello to our newest little mystery — a 4-year-old Quaker parrot who’s got enough sass to power the entire aviary. ⚡️💙

We’re not sure if this cutie is a he or a she (and honestly, we’re not even going to try to guess this color — Quaker mutations are wild 😅). She’s mostly white with gorgeous pale-blue flight feathers that shimmer.

True to Quaker form, this spunky sweetheart has big personality in a small package and is looking for someone who appreciates a little spice with their snuggles. 🌶️💬

If you love attitude, feathers with flair, and a bird who’ll keep you laughing (and humble), this one’s for you. 💙

🚨 New Flock Alert! 🚨
Meet Sunny (a chatty little Jenday) and Sprout (the sweetest Pineapple Conure)! 🌈💚

These two are literally inseparable — eat together, play together, preen together, and plot mischief together. They’re both 2 years old, full of personality, and already have us wrapped around their tiny talons.

Sunny loves to chatter (you’ll never have a quiet morning again 😅) and Sprout is the calm little sidekick making sure everything runs smoothly.

We’re looking for a home that can handle twice the love, because these two are a package deal. 💕

Go ahead… just try to tell us they’re not freaking adorable.
(We’ll wait.) 😍🦜🧡💛
