See this angelic too face posing with his new toy? He goes through three toys a day. Minimum. When he doesn’t have multiple enrichment activities, he chews his perches, breaks the bars on his cage, and uses homemade levers to break the locks on his food dish doors. Sometimes, he does that even with 20 toys.
Cockatoos are no joke. They are a some of the most expensive, high maintenance, attention needing, deafness inducing, blood letting, destructo-babies out there.
That’s actually his nickname. Destructobaby.

International Parrot Crisis Awareness Day is today.

🦜 Birds Deserve Better!

Parrots are intelligent, social creatures with complex needs. Too many end up in overcrowded sanctuaries when people realize how challenging they are to care for. At the same time, more are bred and trapped in the wild to meet demand.

💚 Thinking about bringing a parrot into your life? Take time to research, consider adoption, and choose to support responsible, ethical sources (i.e. not Petco, Petsmart, or Pet Supermarket.)
A well-informed decision can make all the difference for these incredible birds.

Thank you!

Did you know that the majority of animal sanctuaries are founded by women?

Women have blazed the trail to provide animals with safety, care and respect in sanctuary.

We celebrate their incredible contributions to animal protection today and every day.
