Beaker is a Cherryheaded Conure, and was our very first parrot. He was placed with us from Iowa in spring of 1999 as a screamer and biter, and had never been handled. . Beaker's Page

A couple of years later Beaker was paralyzed by a stroke...here's how we set up a handicapped-accessible cage for him and the story of his recovery, which was published in Parrot Chronicles....Handicapped Cage and Story

This is Cosmo, Patagonian conure. Sweet disposition, voice to crack concrete. She joined us in the fall of 1999, from New Hampshire. She's Abi's main baby.. Cosmo's Page.

SANCTUARY

These birds are here permanently, in long-term boarding, or otherwise not available for adoption.

Most of them live in the shelter, but a few are house pets.

Casey Congo grey is a long-time house-mate of Ziggy's, going back through two previous homes, and went through Katrina with him. She's going to be with us permanently now.

Rojo greenwing and Uve hyacinth came to us from Texas in October of 2017. They're odler birds who've been together for 40 years. They'll be staying here as ambassador/education birds.
