I've often found if difficult to speak form my heart, but when it comes to our special feathered friends, its seems they are all I can talk about! These wonderful feathered creatures can't speak for themselves, so I will be their voice, and I want to tell all of you that they are very special creatures indeed, they are not just birds! They need more than just human contact, they need our trust, soft hands and voices, and most of all -our love, patience and understanding!

P.S. This website is my inspiration: http://www.cockatoorescue.org
I don't have the room or resources to expand to these extremes, but the beliefs and ideas that comes form these people has given me new hope and the desire to continue my rescue program...
~ I am doing what needs to be done! Because these precious creatures need me ~

I'm not just a BIRD !
I have feelings, I care and I can love!

Look in to my eyes, you can see me!

This is Peep's ~ Our Poster Bird!
He's suffered abuse, torment and extreme neglect
by the family he loved!

I was a good bird; sweet, lovable and tame.
All I ever wanted was my family!

~ Adult Females ~
These two girls were abused their parents, and the feathers on their heads will not grow back in.. Yes, they are kind of ugly, and will NOT make good breeders, for this type of feather plucking is hereditary! As pets they may make a cage or aviary feel a little fuller, but they will never be tame enough to pet!.

This little guys beak is deformed slightly and needs to eats soft foods and soaked seeds. We offer him seed that have been soaked over night and fresh spouts daily and he's gained lots of healthy weight.

"Grandma Auntie"

In June of 2007 we drove across the state of Arizona with the intentions of buying several new breeders for our aviary, but when we got there we just had to bring all of them home!

The conditions were {I can't even describe it}, and many of the birds were already rescues from who knows where!

We don't know where she came from or what happened to her leg, but we honestly believe she is related to 3 female's in our breeding program today!

{Adopted}
She only have one leg to stand on, but gets around just fine...
I named her "Grandma Auntie" because she developed close bonds with a several fledglings in the aviary... Now, I know why, she is their Great-Great-grandmother!!

{WOW} ~ One Year Later ~ June 2008
Yep! This is the same bird....
See! This is how she should LOOK!
Lots of good food, fresh air, sunshine and {love} makes a big difference! She's very healthy today and now that she's gained good healthy weight - you can finally see her true colors!

She's Absolutely Gorgeous!
ADOPTED
{Adopted}
This old lady is the great-great-grandmother
to all whiteface babies in the nursery!!

Genetically she has passed on the genes that causes the lack pigmentation ( yellow & orange) in the babies.. Her babes, the parents of the whiteface babies on the mom's side, came form her, Grandma Auntie, and the fathers genes came from "Sugar", our beautiful whiteface cinnamon pearl pied...

Grandma Auntie's great-great-grandbabies look like this:

Isn't it wonderful to see LIFE in a LIFE that was SAVED!

Wanted: Green House

In order to reduce costs, we offer all our birds' fresh green on a daily basis, nonetheless, colder weather is inhibiting our garden plans and nothing grows! With out the green foods the cost to support these beautiful creatures sky rockets, for the only way to supplement the garden greens is to buy 25 lb bags of pellets that cost $49.99 each and a ton of frozen veggies. As you can see, we really need a green house! Adding fresh greens to the daily food regimen builds our birds' immune systems, increases their strength and longevity, not to mention, it brings diversity and quality to their lives…

We are not asking for a miracle, just a green house!
The space I utilize isn't very large; and I believe a 10 x 12 ft. growing space is all that is needed!

Please help! We've dedicated our home and lives to these little wonders, and they are not just birds! Each one has a personality, a need, and deserve our love and respect! We interact with special friends on a daily basis, and with soft voices and gentle hands, these birds are finally safe from the cruel - cruel world around us.



~ Coming in the Fall of 2009 ~
(Delayed because I hurt my back)
A Flight Aviary, measuring
20 ft long by 10 ft wide
and is over 12 ft high!

We've already acquired the frame work for the flight {Aviary} and a protective {insulated} wood building.

However, we need donations to finish the final phase!
* We Need more Wire!

The Protective wood building is 8 ft long by 6 ft wide and is 7 ft tall. This building will be connected {attached} to our home via a large window... This window will not only allow us to observe our feathered friends 24 hours a day, so we can protect and/or assist them if they experience night frights. Part of this window will be fitted with a custom built fan {and thermostat} which will circulate both warm or cool air into their protective area as needed, thus our feathered friends will be as comfortable as we are in side our own home..

Parts & Supplies Needed:
{1/2 x 1/2 in. Welded Wire}
Aprox. 2 rolls of 100 x 4 ft {or} 3 rolls of 100 x 3 ft. welded wire.

PVC pipe and fittings for secured entry way.

Custom Built Fan {Special Size} with Thermostat.

Misc. Hardware, clamps and fittings for wire.
& Someone to help put it all together (?)
PLEASE CONTACT US IF YOU CAN HELP!

Policy & Principles:
Before you purchase or adopt a Cockatiel or Budgie you need to be prepared to take care of them. Birds are like small children or toddlers, and can get into mischief and can hurt themselves if your home is not bird (child) proof.

Before You Purchase or Adopt
~ Ask yourself a few Questions ~


* Do I have time to play with
my bird every day?

* Is the cage I have big enough?

* How long can I keep my bird?

* What do they eat?

*Do they need sun light? How much?

* Do they need companions
(other birds)?

* Will my other pets get along with my bird?

* Is my home bird safe?

* How long do Cockatiels Live?

* What can I do if they bite me?

* Is there an Avian Specialist
(Bird Vet) available in our area?

If you answered "I Don't Know" to any of these questions, we have lots of information to share with you!

Need Advice or Have a Question?
~ We are Here to HELP ~

We will take an hour or more to discuss the terms of your purchase or adoption and how to care for your new bird. Plus, we will send you home with a CD full of articles, links, recipes, and other important information to help you understand and care for your bird.

All your questions will be answered, and explained. PLUS, we will walk you through several important steps in person with your new bird.

~ Adoption & Hatch Certificates are Available ~

If you are interested in providing a loving home for one or more of our rescued cockatiels, please Contact Us for a complete list and pictures of these special birds.

Some very important safety tips that will keep your bird "ALIVE"



If you have a *Bird that you can no longer keep, please Contact Us, we always have room in our home and heart for your special friend & will care and love them like one of our own.

*Birds* We currently house over a hundred birds in our home and aviary. We are dedicate to Cockatiels, Budgies & Lovebirds. However, we have many bird friends who own and care for Cockatoos, African Grays, Macaws and so much more, so all birds are welcome and will be placed with loving, caring and "experienced" foster parents.

(Front) Peeps ~ (Back) Bart



One Year Later ~ Peep's ~ June 2008
Poor Peep's, he's only gotten a little better!
The Vet said the scare tissue is so deep and severe that his feathers (in areas seen above) will never grow back!



{Update ~ Jan. 2009}

Poor Peep's had to spend the entire winter indoors! I set him up with a nice big cage in the Nursery. However, he was still cold! So I put a heating pad on the back side of his cage and covered 3 sides remaining sides with thick towels to keep him extra warm and toasty!
When the weather warmed back up I let him back in the aviary with his mate and friends... Yet, he still seemed cold! I eventually found a ceramic light fixture and a reptile heat bulb which I hung on the out side of the flight, Now he's warm! Peep's
snuggles up close to the heat lamp all night long!

Peep's s finally warm and toasty...
Peep's - Jan. 2009

I can finally see an improvement.. Doesn't he look better ??

ADOPTED
One Year Later - June 2008
You can see his scares where his feathers
will never grow again.

Peep's and his brother Bart are still in recovery and we hope that ~someday~ they will regain confidence in people. They may become Adoptable later on in life, but for now they need to stay here were they can rest & recover! They are both on medication for stress and feather loss, plus we've added extra enrichments high in calcium to their diets.

~ This is Lisa, Bart's True Love ~
Bart is doing better than Peeps! His feathers are starting to grow in and he's plucking less ~ He's also found the "Love of his Life" ~ His mate is a pretty little cinnamon and she hasn't left his side since she came to our aviary.

~ Uncle Bob's Story ~
{Adopted}
ADOPTED
{Adopted}
Below are photos of him taking care of the little babies

There was only one nest box in the kept in an aviary meant for a small handful of birds! Bob's parents had to fight constantly to keep their nest and babies safe from the other cockatiels who wanted babies of their own.

It was a fight for survival and he almost lost his life!

His injuries occurred when he was only a few days old ~ when his nest was attacked by another cockatiel who wanted to lay her eggs.. Lucky for him, his parents were strong and deafened the nest... However, he was found bloody and severely battered, but he was alive! Nonetheless, because both of his legs were so damaged he would never -ever regain use of them.

He'll never join the rest of the flock in the big flight cage because he just can keep up and the others pick and pluck at him constantly...

~ We found the perfect place for him ~

Today, Uncle Bob spends his days with our youngsters in a smaller flight cage. He seems to enjoy his home too! You see, the babies never pluck or tease him and he's taken the place of their parents!
