My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

HISTORY:
Florida Parrot Rescue had 4 very young cockatiels (about 4 months old at the time) relinquished to us over the summer of 2010 and so we decided, along with a local teacher in Hillsborough County, to try a new idea and to let that teacher, who was already an approved foster, take these birds to school with her (along with the schools permission of course) for socialization and to help that teacher work with some of the less fortunate children in her classroom. The project has turned out very well and the students just love their new classmates! This project has helped the children involved learn to care for an animal with affection and tenderness and to respect creatures great and small! These birds will stay in their classrooms until the end of the school year, but at this time, we can begin to accept applications on the birds, but the birds can not be moved until after the last day of school on June 10, 2011. These birds are each in separate cages and can be adopted to separate homes. They are all precious little girls and came to us not ever being handled, so they have each made varying degrees of progress. We are hoping that we will have the chance to again try this technique for next school year! As always, if there are any teachers out there who would like to adopt a small bird for their classroom, please e-mail us for more information!!

Blanca (short for Blanca Nevea aka Snow White) is the most vocal of the tiels and loves to join in on the day's lessons. She is also in a 5th Grade classroom and by eveyone's vote, one of the most popular students in the class! She is hand shy, but we are working to change that. Based on the teacher's reaction to her, I have no doubt who the "teacher's pet" is in that classroom, lol!!
