REHOMED
UPDATE 22/7/24 Romeo has now been Rehomed
Thank you everyone for your interest.

Alexandrine available for Rehoming

We are posting this on Kathy's behalf, the owner of the below bird. We are assisting Kathy with rehoming her bird by allowing her to advertise on our page. If you are interested in Romeo please contact Kathy on the phone or email at the bottom of this post.

Name: Romeo

Breed: Alexandrine

Age: Approx. 2 Years old

S*x: Male

Location: Secret Harbour, WA

Interstate rehoming: Yes

Licence to keep is required in WA - owner will provide the form as well it's a $40 fee for 3 years if in WA.

Romeo is Free to a good Home.

General Info:

This boy is very curious and cheeky but he loves people and always wants to be with someone, he can be quite destructive if he doesn't have toys to play with. He is very talkative and has copied a lot and unfortunately he has copied my sun conure's screams as well so he can be very loud.

I originally brought him home around October to pull him out of another home that wasn't able to care for needs so we tried to see if we were able to provide but with life changes and I no longer have the means or time he deserves. He has an incredible temperament, his bites have been very gentle and the only time I've been bitten harshly is when he has tried fending off my sun conure.

He has visited the Perth Pet Vet Located in Jandakot so they will have his record on file.

Comes with his cage, some food and toys

Training:
Since his wings have finally grown through we have managed to teach him basic recall, along with wave, step up and spin. We were working on touch training but he is a bit funny with hands.

Ideal Home:
We are looking for an experienced owner who can provide the love, care and quality of life this boy surely deserves. We don't want his wings to be clipped because we believe a bird's ability to fly is so important. He does prefer people than other birds best not suited to be in an aviary by himself, he needs that human interaction. We believe he would be easier to adjust considering how much he loves interacting with people.

Diet:
Romeo has a wide variety of veggies, fruits, and pellets. He does get the occasional treat of boiled eggs too. His pellets are his main source of food and we try to encourage foraging habits.

Reason for Rehoming:
Hello everyone, I've had to make a very hard decision but I want to be able to provide the best quality of life for my boy Romeo. I'm in a position where I'm currently caring for 3 birds and I've been struggling greatly with my full time job. I'm at a point where I've been stressed out struggling to care for these babies that it's taking a toll.

Please feel free to reach me if you need more information. I do wish you to visit him a few times to really be certain you want to make him a part of your home as I don't wish for him to be moved around. I want to hopefully find his forever home ❤

URGENT Rehoming for Cockatiel & Green Cheek Conure

We have the following two birds that require urgent rehoming, sadly the owner has been diagnosed with terminal Cancer and only has a short time to live. The birds are currently being well cared for, but we would like to try find a new home for them quickly.

The birds can be rehomed separately or together. If rehomed separately we are looking for people that already own birds. These two birds do enjoy the company of one another, so ideally it would be great for Angel the Cockatiel to be around another Cockatiel and Ding-a-ling to be around another conure, so if you suit this criteria and are interested in adopting please see information below.

If you are interested you can either email us with more information about what sort of home you can provide the birds and photos of your current bird setup or fill out our adoption application form.

Thank you everyone for your interest.

Indian Ringneck available for Rehoming

We are posting this on Rachel's behalf, the owner of the below bird. We are assisting Rachel with rehoming her bird by allowing her to advertise on our page. If you are interested in Eggs please contact Rachel on the phone or email at the bottom of this post.

About Eggs:

Name: Eggs

S*x: Female

Breed: Indian ringneck

Age: Approximately 3.5 years old

Located in East Ryde, NSW

Personality:
Eggs is a curious and affectionate Indian ringneck parrot. Initially a bit nervous, she quickly warms up and becomes a loving companion, especially with my partner. She thrives on human interaction, loves being part of the action, and eagerly follows me around during housework. Her delightful personality and engaging nature make her a joy to have around. She is a female bird so she can be quite vocal

Background:
Eggs is a delightful rescue bird who has thrived with clicker training and absolutely adores human company. While she's not particularly fond of pats, she enjoys sitting with you and especially loves spending time with my partner. Initially, she can be quite skittish and scared, but once she gets to know you, she'll happily sit with you and follow you around. Eggs loves taking showers; once she trusts you, she'll join in and let you splash some water on her, often rubbing her head against you affectionately. She can be noisy if she isn’t let out regularly and will get loud when you come home until you say hi.

Training:
Eggie knows the following:
Step up, Down/hop down, Big wings, Waves, Spins, Recall

Why We're Re-Homing:
Due to changes in my living situation, I feel it wouldn’t be fair to keep her cooped up in an apartment when she's used to flying freely in a house.

Ideal Home:
We're seeking an owner who’s , understanding, and experienced owner who can provide eggs with the love, care, and attention she needs. Someone who is willing to work with her on her socialization skills, continue her clicker training offer a safe, stable environment where she can feel secure. She does not have her wings clipped and wish that would be remain she is use to flying and would be depressing for her if her flight feathers would to get cut off

Diet:
Eggs has a specialized diet that includes a variety of fruits, vegetables, and pellets. She has always been on Harrison’s pellets which can be brought online or in store at pet shop order.

Comes with her:
Cage, Bird stand, Toys, Some supply of the Harrison’s

Eggs is free to the best home.

Cockatiels and Budgie available for Rehoming

We are posting this on Ann-Marie's behalf, the owner of the below birds. We are assisting Ann-Marie with rehoming her birds by allowing her to advertise on our page. Please contact Ann-Marie on the phone number at the bottom of this post if you are interested.

Meet
Alfalfa (more grey than white)
- S*x: Male
- Breed: Cockatiel
- Age: Approximately 8-9 years old (Rescued / adopted 7 and a half years ago, exact age unknown)
- Personality: Curious, playful character whoengages with people he knows. He wolf whistles, kisses, mimics spray bottles, mumble talks and tries to copy your whistles. He doesn’t like fingers but will accept a good scratch if he trusts you and will eat from your hand. He prefers wrists, shoulders and heads and loves a mirror. He Loves spray baths, toast, corn, people , dancing on his perch. He is very into people when he trusts you and not other birds.

Background: Alfalfa was a rescue bird, found bleeding and attacked by other birds 7 years ago in the wild. Despite some initial challenges, he has learnt to trust us and prefers human company. He does initially hiss and nip towards new people, but he has NEVER a drawn blood even if he has connected.

Training: Alfalfa used to know step up to your wrist and knows his name, he always had terrible recall. His wings have never been clipped. When out he likes to fly on your head or stay on your shoulder and will try and “ share your food “

Piccolo (more white than grey)
-S*x: Male
-Breed: Cockatiel
-Age 6 years old
- Personality: Piccolo is sweet and a little shy, he is curious and Whistles and also mumbles and sings to the Budgie and us. He also likes to copy your whistles. He is not keen on spray bottles and used to like sitting on our chest and being held. He is attached to Bumble Bee and his wings have never been clipped.

Background: He was given to us at 5 months old when we went to buy a new cage … his partner had flown away and they wanted him to have a friend… Alfalfa avoided him but our Budgie took him under her wing and he became her shadow… This year she is less tolerant of him and his attention.

Training: Piccolo was always more devoted to birds than humans but did allow being held and sitting on you if food was involved and I’m sure with patience would be fine again. He shows a lot of interesting people and will engage you with whistling and copying you .

Bumble bee
-S*x: female
-Age: 5 years old
-Personality: She is bossy and not keen on humans and scared of any contact. She used to be very devoted to Piccolo but now pecks at him. She is the boss over the cockatiels and will peck at them both. She likes a good stretch and does not like the spray bottle. When out she is the easiest to catch as she has no stamina now and gives up and let’s you pick her up.

Background: We have had her since she was 4 months old and her wings have never been clipped

Why We're Re-Homing:
Due to my daughter's sudden development of severe allergies, we can no longer give our birds the companionship and freedom to be out . We now have kept them in their cage too long and that’s not fair to them. They were very much a part of our family and the two Cockatiels were handled regularly but have now they have been unhandled for close to a year. When they go for a fly they are harder to catch now.

Ideal Home:
We're seeking a loving and caring home with someone who wants them as past of their family and is willing to interact with them. Or transition them into a large aviary where they can have room to stretch and fly freely but overall someone who understands these are loved birds.

Birds are free to the best home.

Thank you everyone for your interest.

Rainbow Lorikeet available for Rehoming

We are posting this on Drew's behalf, the owner of the below Rainbow Lorikeet. We are assisting Drew with rehoming his bird by allowing him to advertise on our page. If you are interested in JubJub please contact Drew on the phone or email at the bottom of this post.

Meet JubJub, a vibrant and spirited rainbow lorikeet with a unique personality and a special place in our hearts.

About JubJub:
- Name: JubJub
- S*x: Female
- Breed: Rainbow Lorikeet
- Age: Approximately 10-14 years old (Rescued and adopted 10 years ago, exact age unknown)
- Personality: Curious, playful, and affectionate, especially with her owner. She loves to be around people and engage in activities.

Background:
JubJub was a rescue bird when I adopted her, and despite some initial challenges, she has become a cherished part of our family. Over the years, she has learned to trust and enjoy human company, though she may still exhibit occasional signs of aggression towards unfamiliar faces, particularly men. This behavior is not common and usually occurs in new situations where she feels threatened.

Training:
JubJub knows the following cues consistently

Step up
Down/hop down
Hop (short distance jump)

She used to have a decent recall (cue: name + "come") (approx 5-8m)
But she would have these screaming fits when landing occasionally that I was unsure if it was stressing her out so we stopped focusing on that so much. Her wings are currently NOT clipped

Why We're Re-Homing:
Due to changes in my personal circumstances, I no longer have the time to dedicate to JubJub's care and companionship. It breaks my heart to say goodbye, but I believe she deserves a loving environment where she can thrive and receive the attention she so clearly desires.

Ideal Home:
We're seeking a patient, understanding, and experienced owner who can provide JubJub with the love, care, and attention she needs. Someone who is willing to work with her on her socialization skills and offer a safe, stable environment where she can feel secure.

Special Diets and Care:
Rainbow lorikeets, like JubJub, have a specialized diet that includes a variety of fruits, vegetables, and a nectar-based mix. They should never be fed seed as it can lead to serious health issues. JubJub particularly enjoys bananas and honey, which can be offered as treats. A well-rounded diet for JubJub could include a mix of Wombaroo Lorikeet and Honeyeater mix, Ensure-based nectar mix, and a variety of fresh fruits and vegetables. It's crucial to avoid fatty, salty, processed human foods and to provide adequate bathing opportunities for JubJub, as they love to swim and bathe to keep their feathers clean and protective.

If you're interested in giving JubJub the loving home she deserves, please message us. We'd love to hear from you and discuss how we can ensure a smooth transition for this wonderful bird. Let's find JubJub her perfect match!

JubJub is free to a good home.

Cockatiels available for Rehoming

We are posting this on Valarie's behalf, the owner of the below Cockatiels. We are assisting Valerie with rehoming her birds by allowing her to advertise on our page. Please contact Valerie on the email below if you are interested.

Ekko and Powder are looking for a new family through no fault of their own. I have a lot of mental issues that inhibit me giving them the proper care they need, and they deserve someone that can.

They are weiro cockatiels. They have both been DNA sexed as male, are regularly vet checked and are 2 and a half years old. They've never had their wings clipped nor been outdoors.

They have been hand reared and are incredibly tame with all people they have met. They are quite nervous around strangers, but within hours calm down. They have never had interactions with other birds or animals, so we have no idea how well they would go with that.

They are often annoyed with each other, having little squabbles and pushing each other off of perches, but they are well and truly part of each other's flock.

They love nothing more than to be around and interact with people. They know quite a few words and respond to come here and step up, though they only really do it when they're in the mood to.

Positives:
Very tame and sociable
Love human company
Very intelligent and love to learn tricks
Consistently healthy vet checks

Negatives:
They bicker with each other. However it's never been to the point of injury or worry.
They don't preen each other. Ekko tries to preen Powder, and when allowed will pluck some of Powder's feathers. Powder just tells Ekko off when he tries.
They can get very loud when they want attention, and have learned to whistle a particular song at the top of their lungs to get attention.
Powder often has an extremely high pitched whistle.
Loud noises and outdoor birds can sometimes give them a fright, and they'll fly around at full speed, often having little crashes. They're yet to be injured by one of these, but an eye needs to be kept on them.

They come together as a pair with a large cage and 2 play perches.

They are free to the best family for them only.

Rosie (previously named Kim) is settling in well in her new home. We received the below update and beautiful photos of Rosie from her new owner Diane:

"Just a quick update how Rosie is going at the one week mark. She was a bit unsettled for a few days and a bit nippy. I think she’s feeling much happier now and is singing and dancing. Meatloaf for some reason is her favourite!
I’m really loving seeing her come out of her shell.
She loves the swing I got from you.
I’ve attached some pics and videos."

Another update:
"And a massive thank you for the advice. I implemented it immediately and it’s made a massive difference. She is really gentle now when touching my hands and arms.
What an awesome girl! She’s so much fun!
She loves those wood sticks (sola logs)!"

Thank you Diane for giving Rosie a wonderful new home.

Sun Conure available for Rehoming

We are posting this on Allan's behalf, the owner of the below Sun Conure. We are assisting Allan with rehoming his bird by allowing him to advertise on our page. Please contact Allan on the phone number or email below if you are interested.

Indy is looking for a new home.

Indy was named after Indiana Jones, is a dna sexed male sun conure. He is 15 years old. We got him in early 2009 when he was approximately 6 months old.

He is a snuggle-bug with my wife and I, but he does not like our three teenage children, and will fly at them and bite them.

He loves being out of his cage and sitting with my wife and I. He will nuzzle into our neck/cheek and hides under my wife’s hair.

When the children were very young, he would spend his days out on a parrot gym in the house. The kids used to hand feed him, but that has all changed and now the children hide behind closed doors when he is out for fear of being chased or bitten. It really is not a great life for Indy. He deserves much more. He belongs with someone who can give him the love and cuddles he craves.

Location – Drewvale QLD

Eclectus Parrot available for Rehoming

This post is by Joanne, the owner of the below Eclectus Parrot.
We are assisting her with rehoming her bird by allowing her to advertise on our page. Please contact Joanne on the phone number or email below if you are interested.

Poppy is looking for a new family.

Poppy (named for the bright red flower) is a female eclectus with an attitude.
She is just a few years old.
She is broody (keeps pulling apart paper to make a nest) and has turned against me – the only other female in the house!
She has no problem with male humans.
She has relegated me to the kitchen area and goes at me when I try to leave my designated spot!
When we rescued her initially she was unable to fly.
We believe she was caged all of her fledgeling life so that her wing feathers did not develop properly.
She can now fly but not well and crash lands!
We are also packing up to leave eventually and have a huge cage (surface rust) which can also be collected (optional).
PS She talks.

Location - Ballina NSW (Licence to keep is not required in NSW, but please note a Licence is required in QLD)

Poppy is Free to a good home and her large cage

Rest in Peace Charlie boy
We will miss your cheekiness and your love for Poppet
Thank you Mel for sharing your dear boy with us for the last 16 years and your very generous help supporting him. We will treasure every memory we have.
Charlie was a Sanctuary bird with us for the last 16 years.
Charlie was around 42 years old when he passed.
He came to live here at the PRC due to his plucking and self mutilating.
He has had a couple of partners in that time, one being Cockie another Male cockatoo shown in some of the earlier images and then for approx the last 7 years he has been paired with Poppet a female cockatoo.
Their love for each other was beautiful to watch.
We will all miss you dearly Charlie.

We received some updated photos of Rosie in her new home enjoying some fresh grass, hanging out admiring the view with her new friend Max and a couple of her during and after her shower.

Thank you for giving Rosie a wonderful new home Nerida.

Sora and Smudgie looking for a new family.

Sora (18 years old) - Female, born in 2006
Smudgie (19 years old) - Female, adopted in 2017

Location Gold Coast QLD

Due to unfortunate family matters, I will be relocating overseas, and sadly, I cannot take them with me. I acquired Sora in 2006, and she has been a constant companion through the ups and downs of my life. Unfortunately, she experienced the loss of her partner in 2017, which led to feather plucking. Shortly after, Smudgie, who also lost her partner, joined our family through Currumbin Valley Bird Vet. The two birds quickly became inseparable best friends.

Both Sora and Smudgie have settled with feather plucking, and while no further feathers will grow, they are otherwise healthy. Unlike Lorikeets, they are relatively quiet and tend to sleep in if you are not a morning person like me. It is preferable that potential adopters have experience with parrots, as both birds may exhibit biting behavior, and it is essential to know how to handle them.

They enjoy spending time outdoors, and will stick around the cage and playground when taken outside. Sora is capable of stepping up and has learned some tricks in the past.
