Chico
and Hobo are a pair of "throw aways" that met at the rescue and
have become inseparable. They too are more interested in being friends with
each other rather then being friends with people. They are, however, quick
to accept a treat and become quite excited when they see treats being handed
out. They are not aggressive in the least, just uninterested. They are the
best watch dogs we could have, alerting us from their window seat if there
are any intruders in the front yard. Chico and Hobo are not adoptable.
Jasper
Jasper
came to the rescue with Sophie, an Umbrella Cockatoo, after their owner
took her own life. When he came to us, he wasn't the friendliest bird we
had. Jasper would bend the cage bars together if you got to close. But,
he seemed oddly interested in people, so Mike and Jen spent almost a year
working with him, and now he's a wonderful bird. He LOVES to play and is
hysterical to watch, he swings from every toy in his cage. He has even learned
a trick or two... here he is on the right showing you "FLY!!"
Jasper won't be at the rescue much longer. Jen and Mike will be bringing
him home as soon as they move into their house, so Jasper is no longer adoptable.
Hailey
Hailey
and Mike were love at first site. Hailey is a Harlequin Macaw who had flown
across the Inner Harbor, landed on the back porch of Mary
Thinglestad and screamed at the door for someone to let her in. Rumor
has it, Hailey had been seen before with a homeless man who kept her on
a chain. Apparently, she got away. Hailey is the spokes-bird for Angel's
Avian Rescue, having gone to various events like the Baltimore Pet Expo
and helps educate people about the care of parrots. She has TONS of personality
and loves to play. Hailey will be going home with Mike and Jen as well once
they move. Hailey is not up for adoption.
Good 'Ole Yankee. Yankee is a Military Macaw that has been with us since he was a youngster. He was relinquished to us by a pet store/breeder. Because of his aggressive behavior and deformed beak, they felt they were unable to sell him. Yanks doesn't want much to do with people, sometimes you can get a quick scritch on the top of his head without him taking a swing, but he's got to be in the mood. He does like to play and he likes to dance. His favorite thing to do is tug on an empty paper towel roll with you. You can tell there is a softie in there when you look in his eyes. Yankee is adoptable if the right person can touch his heart.
Rojo is so cool. Poor guy just recently lost his best friend Sinbad (pictured on the right...that's Rojo's backside behind her) on Dec. 27, 2007. who died of a heart attack at age 41. I had to add Sinbad in here with Rojo, they were the best of friends. He came from a family who was getting evicted from their house. He speaks fluent Spanish (which unfortunately, we do not) but he loves to sing too. His songs are different verses of "I LOOOOOOVVE YOUUUU...ROOJO IS A PARRROT..I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE, LOVE YOU!!!" at the top of his lungs. He also will reluctantly give kisses. He likes to jump...if you jump up and down, he likes to jump on his perch with you. Rojo has been here for about 4 years and seems to tolerate people more then enjoy them. He is adoptable if he bonds with someone.
