Nothing epitomizes the symbol of freedom more than a bird in flight. Yet, the places people most often see birds is in cages in pet shops, and in living environments that don't allow them to exercise their most fundamental behavior - flight!

National Bird Day, January 5th is a day dedicated to appreciating wild birds flying freely outside our windows but also to reflect on the plight of birds native to other countries who are captured in the wild or bred in captivity to fuel the international bird trade.

We can do better! Let's work toward a day when all birds have the right to fly freely, no matter where they live!

Meet Glimmer and Glider, an inseparable duo looking for a loving forever home! Glimmer, a charming yellow-naped Amazon parrot, and Glider, a playful sulphur-crested cockatoo, are a bonded pair with a strong connection. They love dancing together, preening and feeding one another, always keeping each other entertained with their chatty nature and curious personalities. Although they share a special bond, they need supervised playtime to avoid nippy moments when in the same space—each having their own cage close by is essential. With plenty of toys to keep them occupied, they are relatively quiet by parrot standards, though they can get loud when separated.

These two are still adjusting to life without their former owner who sadly passed away, but their foster has already made great progress with handling in just a few short weeks. While they’re not ready to step up just yet, they do accept head scratches, treats, and respond well to commands like “no” and return to their cages when asked. Glimmer and Glider are protective of each other, so experience with a bonded bird pair is preferred. They’ve shown that they’re adaptable, comfortably coexisting with dogs, cats, and other birds in their foster home. Though they take time to warm up, with patience, positive reinforcement, and understanding, Glimmer and Glider will surely thrive in a home that respects their unique bond.

If you’re ready to open your heart to this delightful duo and have the patience to help them settle in, Glimmer and Glider are waiting to reward you with their fun-loving companionship! Stop by to say hi to Glimmer & Glider on Instagram or visit us at www.parrotsfirst.org/adopt to fill out an adoption application!

At Parrots First, parrot adoption, care education, and rescue are not a few of the things we do; they are the ONLY things we do.

Meet the "odd couple"Glimmer and Glider. These two came to Parrots First when their caregiver died. We really have no history but will be getting them vetted and figuring out what they need. One thing we have learned is that they are a bonded pair and must stay together. We will keep you updated.
