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.

Seems to be raining Ringnecks. This is a second Ringneck found several months ago. Finder has had no luck reuniting the bird and is now asking for help finding an adopter that has an aviary so the bird can fly. Parrots First does not have the bird and is just assisting the finder..
Contact [email protected] if you have space and an aviary and we will connect you.

Nella (4yo F) and Tulaigh ("Tully", 8yo M) are a very special bonded (non breeding) pair of green cheek conures looking for a loving home together. They are the very definition of "opposites attract." Nella is spunky, outgoing, daring and fearless! She loves meeting new people and getting ALL the attention. Tully is shy and nervous, but can be very loving when he is given gentle attention 🥰 They currently share a house with several larger birds that make Tully very nervous. They are looking for a home with other green cheeks (or similar size birds) or with no other pets. Contact Rose [email protected] if you think you could be the perfect home for these darlings. Parrots First only adopts within the greater Los Angeles area.

Miss Bluebell, is an Indian Ring-necked Parakeet. She was rescued after she was dropped by a hawk. She had punctures to her chest from the hawk’s talons, and was very lucky to have survived the attack. She had vet care and antibiotics and was able to heal

Boris is a precious doll! He will make someone who is looking for a companion bird very happy. Boris is extremely affectionate, but only with one person, and he may become overly attached. Ideally he will be in a home where the new caretaker can help him overcome his attachment issues, which can include screaming and attention seeking behavior. He has been very receptive to training -- such as stationing -- and being around other birds has also helped him observe normal human-bird interaction. He is not a difficult bird, but does need someone who has the time and willingness to work with him to help him live a long, happy, and fulfilled life!

Parrots First is often asked to take in birds that have been confiscated by an animal control agency.
Marshmallow and Baby were recently confiscated for neglect in a hoarding situation. Both birds have been cleared by our vet but will now need a better diet and enrichment. They are settling in in their foster homes.

It is with great sadness that we have to say good bye to Candi. Candi left this world for the Rainbow Bridge yesterday.
Candi came to Parrots First 5 years ago after her person died and the remaining family members banished her to a garage. Candi was a wild caught Goffins so we do not know her age. What we do know is that Candi came to PF as a very sad girl until she was adopted by Glenda. The last years of Candi's life were filled with flight and fun and good food.
We loved you Candi and are forever grateful to have been able to care for you.
Candi you will forever remain in our hearts.
