My story

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

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

Please contact Tracy (tleder@optonline.net) for more information about this pet.

Max and Ruby were surrendered to us by Animal Control in Newark.  The AC Officers were worried about these two. They had been left behind by someone who vacated an apartment and left them behind, and each one had a physical injury--  Max has just one eye, and Ruby has an injured or deformed beak. We quickly got the pair into the avian vet, and the injuries are all old and well-healed.  Ruby eats a regular seed/pellet mix, with no special diet required, and Max seems to do great, despite his blind side.  Their foster mom is just starting to try them with some fresh fruit and veggies.

We consider Max and Ruby to be a bonded pair, although Ruby will put Max in his place from time to time, if he's all up in her grill and a little too much. The pair sings the prettiest budgie songs, especially when their foster family turns on the budgie tv channels for them on YouTube.  

We're not sure how old these cuties are, but we're sure that their life was dark and unfair.  If you'd like to show Max and Ruby that life can be better with love and patience, please apply to adopt them today.  

This group is being fostered in Howell, NJ.  
Adoption requires an in-person visit-- we do not ship our birds.
For the Love of Birds is a network of dedicated foster homes throughout NJ and Eastern PA. 
As our adoptable birds are living in private volunteer homes,  
we only allow approved adopters to make the required visits.

If interested in adopting this pair, please visit our website  ftlob.rescuegroups.org
Please read our adoption policies and fees, and 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.
