Lovemyparrots

In (about) 2000, I joined an existing bird club and met a friend by the name of Michelle Fitzgerald (now owner of Avian Education & Therapy Co-op). She has taught me many things about owning & caring for exotic birds. Thanks Michelle! It all started when I took in a pair of lovebirds. That’s when my journey began. It began with 2 lovebirds, then a cockatiel, then 2 cockatiels & so on. Then I was asked to take in a orange winged Amazon and a gold collar macaw that were in real bad condition. They were thin, hungry and very plucked. Their names are Felix & Buddy. It was then I knew it was my calling to help. If Felix and Buddy looked like this, there had to be more out there that needed help. And so began my avian rescue. Now I take in parrots, rehabilitate them and re-home the ones that are healthy enough for the move. We do have a screening process, as we require that the birds go to a caring, responsible owner who will commit themselves to the care that it takes to raise & own the bird properly. I live in Central Square, which is in upstate central NY, in a small but comfy ranch on 16 acres. We have a home based vinyl lettering and graphics business so a lot of time is spent with our birds.
