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!!

Lola is a Grey white-faced cockatiel, she is still at home with me most of the time, but she is going to spend time with a 2nd Grade class through the end of the year to see if she can become an honorary member of the 2nd grade. She is somewhat vocal, so we are going to try it and see what happens. She is the tamest of the girls and also the neatest, so she is truly an easy pet. She enjoys spending time in her "playground."
