It has been very busy here at the rescue. With the holiday seasons life is busier for everyone and some things seem to get left behind.
Very soon one of our heart touching stories of Rugie a Salmon Crested Cockatoo will be posted in our local newspaper as pet of the day. I am hoping rugie can find a loving and accepting home from being featured in the article.
Tomorrow two Indian Ringneck parakeets will be going home to a very nice young lady that will cherish these guys for a long time, I am sure of that!
Coming after the holiday seasons a CAG named toby will more than likely be headed to his forever home with a man that made an instant bond with him. The guy has just the right attitude to work with toby and supply him with a life of love.
Lilly a medium Suplhur Crested Cockatoo was adopted and will be headed home Jan. 16. She was a very nervous bird and is very deserving of a great home in which she can flourish into a social happy cockatoo.
Currently we have a ton of cockatoos and love birds that are looking for a home all of which can be found or seen posted usually daily on this page: https://www.facebook.com/pages/The-D...88?ref=tn_tnmn
We have received a huge amount of cage donations and plenty of other helpful stuff we are so thankful for!
I believe that is all I have to update on as far as adoptions/ donations.
Next I would like to talk about Diamond, she is a real Diamond in the rough. She is a wild caught African Grey that needs a ton of work. Yesterday I spent some time working with her and moving her into a better suited cage. Hopefully in the coming months she can calm down and learn to accept human interaction. She was left outside almost year round and expected to breed on a horrible diet and in a horrible environment. One night a predator came around and managed to kill her mate, but Diamond she survived. We where called the next day to pick up Diamond and another Grey that had been attacked and injured. Sadly the other grey died before we had a chance to take him to the vets. Diamond is with us and has a lot of issues trusting and being around people. She growls almost constantly when its anyone else but me and a select few other people. I have begun working with her on a day by day basis starting on Friday. Hopefully within a Month we can see Diamond ready to be adopted and find a loving person for this poor soul. I cannot imagine what I would be like to be ripped away from the wild as a young bird and thrown into so many deadly situations. My heart truly does bleed for this one!
Until next time!
Kind Regards,
