Adoptable
“Come fly with me, we'll fly, we'll fly away...”
—Sammy Cahn
The Sanctuary Adoptables are just waiting to find their next homes where their quirkiness and good humor will be well appreciated. These birds delight in showing off. They willingly speak the words and phrases they have already learned. They sing and make all sorts of sounds. They show off their physical prowess by bouncing and jumping. They display their beauty by opening and flapping their wings. They want to interact and are ready to bond.
BAM BAM & MAKAI
White-Bellied Caiques
Male & Female
Hatched: 2004 & 2007
Lifespan: 30-40 yrs
The circus is in town! Or at least you’ll think it is with the high-energy antics of these two colorful best buddies, who love to perform tricks and can never have too many toys that shake, rattle, and roll. Not surprisingly, they also love to play with their food, and even their favorite berries go flying when they eat. Caiques are not big talkers, but they might just whistle a tune if you whistle first!

BELLE
Citronella Cockatoo (Citron x Umbrella hybrid)
Female
Hatched: 1995
Lifespan: 80 yrs
Our belle of the ball only has eyes for men. If she’s not the center of attention, she’ll quickly demand it with high-pitched screams. While beautiful to behold, she can deliver a mean bite when she’s feeling feisty. She also loves her food: corn on the cob, veggies, and pilaf are some staples she eats here at the Sanctuary.

LOVEBIRDS
Lovebirds
Males & Females
Hatched: Varies
Lifespan: 15 yrs
These Peach-Faced Lovebirds live up to their name, mating often. Highly social, they hang out in large groups. They are constant chirpers, who require an aviary to flit around in rather than the
smaller confines of a cage. They’d love to be taken home in pairs
with a caring owner.

GARBLE
Blue-Crowned Conure
Male
Hatched: 1995
Lifespan: 20-40 yrs
Playful and entertaining to watch, Garble likes to keep to himself and prefers men. Garble tries to say words, but, as his name implies, they come out all garbled. We use his love for nut butter sandwiches to disguise his geriatric vitamins.

JERRY & STEWIE
Jenday & Blue-Crowned Conures
Male & Female
Hatched: 2008 & 1999
Lifespan: 20-30 yrs
They don’t come sweeter than this cuddly, affectionate pair, though they can be a bit noisy at times. Their last homes didn’t know how to feed them properly, and the resulting stress led them to pluck their own feathers a bit. They are best pals within the Conure colony, and have become close friends with Funky. Jerry and Stewie are inseparable and would love to head home with an eligible bachelor.

BEAKER
Half-Moon Conure
Female
Hatched: 2007
Lifespan: 30 yrs
This little bird with a big attitude is very territorial and needs to have her own space separate from the Conure colony. Unlike her strong personality, her table manners are delicate. She nibbles the edges of round crackers until she spirals down to the center. Little Beaker enjoys male companions and can say "Beaker."

TRIXIE
Umbrella Cockatoo
Female
Hatched: 1995
Lifespan: 80-100 yrs
If ever a bird loved her feathers, it’s this one! Trixie’s vanity is apparent in the owl-like coif she creates for herself to attract the attention of both avian and human men. Snuggly with men yet cold toward women, she will seek attention with a loud holler. Her previous owner had to give her up when he lost his home. Now she’s in search of the man of her dreams to take her home for good. She'll announce, "Hello. Hi, Trixie!
