About Lonely Grey Rescue

Our Story: We are a registered, private parrot and bird rescue located in Woodbridge New Jersey. We are on the New Jersey Department of Fish and Wildlifes list of recommended avian rescues. We are a safe haven for birds and parrots of all sizes. We gladly take in birds with plucking issues, screaming issues or any other type of medical or behavioral issue. Of course birds with none of these are always welcome too. With time, patience and proper vet care, we do allow our birds to be placed up for adoption.

We are also the number 2 recommended avian rescue as per http://topavianrescues.gotop100.com/in.php?ref=135!

It was a little over 5 years ago when I personally came across my first neglected bird. He was an African Grey Timneh. He had spent 16 years in a cage that was not suitable for even a canary. His feathers had been plucked all out. He was stuck in one spot. The reason he was stuck in one spot is because due to the lack of space in his cage, lack of toys and lack of perches he spent most of his day in one spot. His toe nails actually grew around the perch immobilizing him. He was forced to stretch to do even the simplest of things including eating and drinking. He was a "craigslist" bird. After reaching the gentlemen who owned him, getting to his home and explaining how bad the situation actually was for his bird, he surrendered him to me. I come from a background of birds, having grown up with a large macaw and cockatoo. I knew two things leaving this man's house. First and foremost, this was going to be a long process. Second, this was not going to be cheap. After getting him to my avian vet, cutting the cage literally in half and helping the vet anesthetize our little Timneh, we were able to slide the perch out from in between his feet. He required 6 different surgeries to make it so he could perch properly. It was a long battle, to say the least, but our Mr. Iggy Bird has made a complete and full recovery. He is now fully feathered, able to perch and has become quite the sweet little character. It was after realizing that Iggy was not the only bird in this situation, that I reached out to the New Jersey Department of Fish and Wildlife and started Lonely Grey Rescue. Everytime our name is said, it should serve as a reminder of our little Lonely timneh african Grey who needed rescuing. As such we consider Mr. Iggy Bird to be the patriarch of our rescue.

A Word with Dan: "I am Dan Radzik, owner of Lonely Grey Rescue. I am an avid bird and parrot lover. I have experience with several different species of parrots and birds alike. My knowledge base is deeply rooted in Macaws, Cockatoos and African Greys.

Through both research and experience I have developed a very unique process for working with birds/parrots. I, along with my volunteers will work with any and all species of parrot or bird, never accepting that, "they are too far gone," to become loving members of a family. With new parrots being neglected, abused, ignored and just plain forgotten about daily, I decided it was time for a change.

Ghandi said," The greatness of a nation and its moral progress can be judged by the way its animals are treated." We, along with some of our fellow avian rescues, are now, and will continue to be, battling for our feathered friends both large and small."

Lonely Grey Rescue's adopted pets

Adopt a Pet is the easiest way for you to search for a new pet in Woodbridge, NJ.

Support adoption and rescue. Why go to a dog breeder, cat breeder or pet store to buy a dog or buy a cat when you can adopt?

Why should you adopt?

Dog adoption and cat adoption saves lives. Adopt a dog or adopt a cat and you'll have a friend for life.

What is the difference between adopting a dog, adopting a cat, adopting a kitten or adopting a puppy versus getting dogs for sale, cats for sale, puppies for sale or kittens for sale from a dog breeder or a cat breeder?

When someone is breeding puppies or breeding kittens, they are creating new dogs and cats who need homes. Some people are interested in a very specific breed of dog, cat, puppy or kitten and they think the only way to find that specific breed is to buy a dog for sale or buy a cat for sale from a puppy breeder or a kitten breeder. Yet animal shelters are filled with dogs and cats who must find homes.

So rather than buying a dog or puppy for sale from a dog breeder or buying a cat or kitten for sale from a cat breeder, we encourage people to adopt a dog, adopt a cat, adopt a puppy or adopt a kitten at their local animal shelter, SPCA, humane society or pet rescue group.
