My story

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

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.

Hatch date: 2020

Davey is a beautiful 3-year-old, DNA-tested Male Cockatiel. He is a sweet shy boy who is gaining more confidence daily while in foster.

He is still very shy and timid, but he is still very young, so his forever home would need to be committed to work with him to grow him into a wonderful lifelong companion. He wants to trust, but just can't bring himself to yet  He moves to the farthest rear of his cage, while his foster mom cleans his cage, as he is still fearful of hands.

Davey is a lover of whistling his own tunes. He loves to sing, and will sit in the sunshine doing it to express his contentment 

He would thrive with other birds who willingly accept him. He has become comfortable around other birds while in his foster home and will engage in some light chatter, if the mood strikes him.
Dogs do not frighten him, but hands asking to step up still do. This is currently and slowly a work in progress, and an adopter would have to be willing to continue to work to gain Davey's trust.  
 
Davey is held twice a day to introduce touching and handling - allows kisses and gentle petting - never biting. He is a very loving bird who simply needs time to gain all of his courage and learn to trust. He loves soft-spoken compliments and interaction. He thrives on attention and loves out-of-cage time. When it's time to rest, you'll find Davey on his swing or
enthusiastically adoring his favorite toy.

Davey is being fostered in Howell, NJ, and will only
be adopted to a forever home within driving distance.
 
We will NOT ship our birds.

For the Love of Birds is a group of dedicated foster homes throughout NJ and Eastern PA -
we do not have a central location.
Davey is living in a volunteer's private home; we only allow approved applicants to make visits.

If interested in adopting Davey, please visit our website ftlob.rescuegroups.org
to read our adoption policies & procedures and to complete an adoption application.

Their adoption process

Additional adoption info

The adoption procedure begins with completing an adoption application and returning it to us. We will check your references and then call you for a telephone interview. While we check your references, we will ask that you review an educational power point presentation. After your application is approved, it is our policy that you visit with the bird(s) three times to have multiple interactions with them and give you time to consider the adoption and get ready for your new family member. There is an adoption fee for each bird.
