Meet Chico, the mealy amazon! Chico is a reserved yet delightful feathered friend looking for his forever family. While he’s on the shy side, Chico genuinely enjoys being part of the action, happily sitting in the room with his loved ones and chiming into the conversation with his own babble when he feels like it. He can be quite loud at times, like most amazons! Chico is not currently hand-tame, but he can be moved around outside of his cage with the use of a perch. Chico takes his time meticulously dismantling his piñata toys, savoring every moment. His love of almonds is another highlight of his day, but a little ingenuity with snack placement around his cage can help this "perch potato" get moving and stay active.

It's worth noting that Chico moves at a slow and relaxed pace and may need some TLC for his right foot in the future. Chico is sure to bring a lot of love and happiness to his new home. Could you be the one to give this charming Amazon the care, patience, and companionship he needs to thrive?

Meet your new feathered friend, Tunie the Green Cheek! This charming little fellow is full of personality and ready to bring joy to his forever home! He is highly treat-motivated, which makes bonding time extra special (and snack-filled). One of his favorite places to perch is on your head to oversee the world. The moment he spots his humans, he gets quite vocal, letting you know he'd love his cage door opened—right now, please! He adores being out of his cage and spending time with the family, always wanting to be part of the action. He doesn’t play favorites—he happily interacts with everyone in the household, as long as he's not in his cage. He can be a bit cage-protective and may give a nip, but if you get him away from his cage, he steps up nicely. He enjoys playing and splashing around in the water, so get ready for some adorable antics! If you're looking for a lively, affectionate, and water-loving companion who will fill your days with laughter, this little bird might just be your perfect match!

She has been with one family her entire life, but after the passing of her original owner, her family was unable to continue her care.

She enjoys fresh chop twice a day, a nutritious pelleted diet, and of course, a few special treats in between! She loves having her people nearby throughout the day and, once she trusts you, she will step up and happily accept head scratches.

If you're looking for a sweet and low-key feathered friend, Tango might be the perfect match for you!

Update Blue has found a great home!

Blue is a beautiful, alibet shy Blue-Crowned Conure. He enjoys sitting on his cage door, listening to music, and dancing! He is cautious of hands and leaving his cage, but once he is away from his cage he seems to be less skittish. He enjoys his toys every now and again and he really likes treats and nuts. He will require a little bit of patience before he starts to truly bond, but with the right amount of effort and time, we believe he can really thrive. Do you have time for this beautiful fella?

Sweet Pea is a beautiful turquoise 2-year-old Green Cheek Conure. And she has been living up to her name in her foster home!! She is just the sweetest! She appears to prefer the female in her foster home over the male. She loves to hang out on your hand or shoulder, preen you, and eat snacks! She is warming up to her toys but prefers to be with her person doing whatever they are doing. She loves to chatter and can be quite vocal if you leave the room while she still wants your attention. Are you ready to add a little sweetness to your life?

Meet Trixie - our sassy fun fun-loving green cheek conure! This girl about 3 years old and loves hanging out on heads and shoulders! She is a bit of a “nosy Nellie” wanting to know everything that’s going on in the house. Overall, she’s a good-tempered bird, but you’ll know when she’s feeling a bit spicy from her “sassy” walk. She seems to prefer women over men, but that could all change with the right guy! Could this little girl add some spice to your home??

Meet Emma! Emma is a sweet 24-year-old Meyers parrot. She enjoys pets and cuddles, and with enough time and patience, she will be your best friend! She enjoys going to the bottom of her cage and going under her papers to shred them. She likes to hang out with you on your shoulder and do a lot of exploration. While she's playful and cuddly, she also has a mischievous side and she likes to get into things. She appears to bond strongly with one person, but may tolerate others. She has a lot of interesting sounds that sound like attempts at speaking but it doesn't quite come out as words. Is this sweet, gorgeous Meyers parrot for you?

Update on Mr. Beeker…

He has faced so many Challenges since the day of his accident. Over the last two and a half months he has shown amazing resilience.

His amputation site has healed very nicely. During the recovery from the leg amputation he had gotten a pressure sore on his keel bone. We tried really hard to manage and heal the sore but the vet needed to intervene. A few weeks ago he had to have a procedure to pull muscle and skin over his keel bone. That has kept him in a collar with padding and an apron to help him heal for the last few weeks.

This past Wednesday he decided he was Done with the collar and ripped it off. He got the apron and padding off as well. Who could blame him after all this time. We looked him over and decided he was right it was time to be done with it. We followed his lead and watched him carefully as he adjusted to his life without his collar. He has left his keel and amputation sites alone. His keel bone looks great and we are monitoring it and watching him for any picking.
He currently has some padding on his wings(elbows) as he is using them to balance himself while getting around. This is to try to prevent him getting a sores on his wings where he is using them in an unusual way for a bird.

His next appointment with the vet is Monday December 23. After having weekly visits to the vet since the accident Maybe for Christmas we will get the all clear from the vet!

Mr. Beeker has been so tolerant throughout all of the treatment and medication and adjustments he has had to make over the past two and a half months!

Twin Cities Parrot Rescue will be keeping Mr. Beeker as a resident bird of the rescue.
We will be continuing to care for Mr.Beeker and make sure he does well for the rest of his life.

Mr. Beeker is an Amazing bird! We LOVE Him SO SO MUCH!!!
