Rhode Island Parrot Rescue

[Navre]

I haven't been keeping up posting intakes and adoptions. We have adopted out 59 birds so far this year. Some birds were in the rescue for almost no time at all. Maya (DYH) and Snowball (Goffins), were both with us for over 1100 days. They all stay with us until the right home comes along.

And we are down to six lorries!

Of the 117 birds who made it to our rescue from Weston, we have only 21 left. There have been so many adoptions!

This is who we still have:

Apollo and Aurora, Golden Conure Pair
Bear - Bodines Amazon (Big Male Breeder)
Jack and Diane - Golden Conure Pair
Max - M2
Mushu and Cricket - Slender Billed Conure Pair
Pebbles and Bamm-bamm - Yellow Collared Macaw Pair
Pickles - Yellow Shouldered Amazon
Pip and Pepper - Scaly Breasted Lory pair
Poe and Lenore - Vasa Parrot pair
Rico and Ruby - Green-cheeked Amazon Pair
Rory - Stella's Lory (Melanistic)
Russel and Rose - Green-naped Lory pair
Skittles - Rainbow Lory

I'm surprised you still have the golden conures and the vasas because they are unusual enough to warrant a lot of attention from prospective adopters, no?

Goldens are loud enough to deter those looking to keep
Them inside. I also think they have to stay in RI. Not sure.

That 47-year-old U2 with the backward feathers.

[Pajarita]

They do look weird.... I wonder what happened to those follicles and whether it was from trauma or a congenital defect.

[Navre]

She's open-banded and 47 years old. So, as a wild-caught birds I'd suspect that injury is more likely than congenital.

[Pajarita]

Yes, trauma is more likely but congenital, although not as likely, could be a possibility because the wild-caughts sold as pets were taken from the nests when babies so, even though a bird with bad plumage might not have made it to adulthood, defects do happen in the wild - same as mutations... it's only that most of them don't make it.

I hope you guys can see the above video. It’s about Crystal. We will follow up with one on her progress. Spoiler alert: she’s doing much better now.
