We're in it Now
Maxine is a darling Goffin’s Cockatoo that is very serious about who she likes and who she doesn’t like. She only likes other Cockatoos. And apparently, she is at the Refuge because she bonds too tightly to her people. Wednesday night, I was in… Continue Reading “At the Refuge – Maxine”
We don’t take in many small parrots, and when we do we don’t keep them very long. Easier to place, I guess. Pepito is our current resident shorty. Isn’t he darling? Pepito is pretty nippy, so he wasn’t getting much time out of the… Continue Reading “At the Refuge – Pepito”
When we manage to find the right event at the right time, the Refuge will bring a few birds and make an appearance at local events. On Friday, we (and by “we” I do not by any means mean “I”) will be at the… Continue Reading “At the Refuge – Meeting the Public”
I believe I mentioned a couple of weeks ago that Peachie the Mollucan Cockatoo had laid an egg. My African Grey, Kiwi, was at the vet last week for her annual exam. I reminded Dr. Sakas that Kiwi likes to celebrate the 4th of… Continue Reading “At the Refuge – Kasper”
There are some birds that I know, if I could just spend some quality time, they would warm up to people. Luna, a Congo African Grey Parrot, is such a case. She does not want people to touch her. She would rather stay in… Continue Reading “At the Refuge – Luna”
I have taken a whole lot of bites from birds at the Refuge. Sometimes I even deserve it. Mikki once bit me while I was feeding him. Badly. When I would try to clean his cage he would try to bite me. I would… Continue Reading “At the Refuge – Mikki”
It seems my friend Susanna has the new design set up at the Refuge web site! Tonight, it was crazy hormone night. I could hear the cockatoos screaming from outside. In my car. With the music on. My mother will tell you that is… Continue Reading “At the Refuge – Website and Other Stuff”
Babe is a bird with a reputation. For biting. Sometimes she would take a swing at people (women) just for walking by. Babe is one of several birds at the Refuge with whom I have fostered a respectful “don’t touch me and I won’t… Continue Reading “At the Refuge – Babe”
Marty’s name was Martha when he came to the Refuge. Except that he is a boy. He is pretty rambunctious, which can be intimidating with a cockatoo, but of all of the cockatoos I have met, he is the best at finding ways to… Continue Reading “At the Refuge – Marty”
On my nights at the Refuge, I am generally working in the front room. The Permanent Residents are there, so I don’t handle the Adoptables as often as other volunteers. Addison is available for adoption and happens to be in the front room these… Continue Reading “At the Refuge – Addison”
