Emmy is a presumed female 29 Year old Mitred hybrid (mitred x white eye?). She’s lived in her last home for 18 years, so initially had a harder time adjusting. She is choosy about her people, doesn’t like sun conures or similar (or Pionus, we found. She will chase them out of her space) but has gotten along fine with the cherryheads, green cheeks, and a cockatiel. Emmy really wants to find her person to snuggle with! She seems choosy of her people in general but we think she could go to anyone with the knowledge and skills to work with her. She's skittish on the hand and doesn't want to stay in one place, usually hanging out on top of her cage and running away from us when we try to handle her. She will land on a shoulder when she feels like it. She loves horror films (especially the gory ones), TV show music, and wags her tail when she’s happy. She’s been plucked on her bottom half for a long time and will likely never regrow those feathers. We don’t care that she prefers not to wear pants. She’ll have to meet potential adopters a few times to build a bond.

Emmy will have to remain on a small dose of pain medication for the remainder of her life. She takes her meds exceptionally well and looks forward to her pieces of bread. She’s recently begun a new medication as she ages and is on two meds.

Kala and Hurley are a fun pair of 4 year old green-cheek conures. These birds are closely bonded and can be quite protective of one another. Hurley is a bit more reserved, whereas Kala enjoys a scratch on her own terms. They are caged separately since together, Kala will begin laying eggs almost immediately and they become quite defensive of their cage. These two enjoy flying around the room as they are VERY agile fliers, watching movies (without birds!), and they like to see you do chores. They’re great to watch on their own but they’d really love to be a part of a family WITHOUT other birds to interact with. It’s not a requirement, but we do feel they may be happier without having to share affections. They can be rather mean to others out of defensiveness so care will have to be taken if they DO go to a home with birds.

Sisko and Sammy (pictured right) are a bonded pair of 21 year old Sun Conures, unknown sex so far. These two are a bit feisty! They are DEEPLY bonded to each other and cannot be handled together- though both can be handled if moved to a separate room from their partner. They were originally here in 2010 and were surrendered due to their noisiness, not uncommon with this species. They’re definitely noisy and will sound off whether people are around or not. According to their ORIGINAL owner, they aren’t always tame and have flown at people before when they’re allowed out together. Basically, dragons.
