EMILADE (EMMY)
Emmy is a presumed female 26 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 is cleared for adoption, but will have to remain on a small dose (0.1mL meloxicam twice daily) of pain medication for the remainder of her life. She takes her meds exceptionally well and looks forward to her pieces of bread.

KALA & HURLEY
Kala and Hurley are a fun pair of 3 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.

DEREK
Derek is a 6 year old assumed male Quaker. He’s got quite the pep in his step! Derek is a sweet little Quaker who enjoys talking a bit and eating hot peppers. So far he steps up for anybody, but can definitely be a bit cage defensive. He tends to stick to one person at a time, but is pretty good with most. He can’t be with any birds smaller than him due to recently attacking a smaller parrot, but imagine he will be fine with birds his same size. He’s still new and a bit shy so his personality will shine as he gets more comfortable with us.

HOLLY & TRUDEE
Holly and Trudee are a 27 and 13 year old mother and daughter Cherryhead pair, respectively. They have lived wild in the small-bird aviary, and don’t want to be handled. They are devoted to each other and seeing them snuggled up together is heartwarming. This pair is a super thing to watch just acting like parrots, and that's the life I want for them. You must have a large free-flight aviary.
