Yellow Crown has became a great cage mate with Keiko, yet will now come to individuals easily as long as they both get some attention. Yellow Crown has learned to tell his foster parronts when he wants his favorite treat. They will come home, walk in, and instantly hear a "Hello?"....... "HEY!!!!!!"......... "HEY!!!! PEANUT!!..." While in foster care he has gained the nick name of "Plato" so if he gets to a new home and starts blurting out historical quips thats why. His foster parronts enjoys reading to him at night which he really likes, because the next day he might say something that had been read the night before. Hence the nickname.

Friends, Romans, Countrymen... lend me your ears. I come to bite Caesar, not to praise him. OK it's not Plato but it's a start.

Jasper is a Amazon, Orange Wing

Jasper was adopted from WAES approximately 3 years ago and has been returned to rescue because of lifestyle changes.  Jasper is approximately 11 years old, male, and has a couple of deformed toes.  He has been on a good diet of Zupreem, seed, and fruits and vegetables.  His favorite foods are tomatoes, apples and bananas.  He does talk and has been known to be a bit nippy, but he loves head scritches!  He is currently not stepping up very well, but the foster family is working with him. 

Foster Update:Jasper is fitting in just fine. As much as we try, we can't get him to say anything beyond "Hello". Although, he's turning into quite the growly pants and has picked up barking as well from the dogs. On rare occasions he'll "sing" along to opera.

He's gotten pretty good about stepping up although he still is aggressive in his cage about it and you just know that he's not saying nice things about you when he's squawking at you. The cage is left open all day and he just putters about inside and on it through the day. He's never shown any sign of wanting to wander the house. He sometimes likes to go outside and preen on the patio, but when he's tired of that he'll flop (best description with the wings clipped) back into the house and climb up on his cage.

He's fairly vocal but usually not annoyingly so. He only screams when he feels he's not getting the attention he deserves and is mollified by us coming in and talking to him.

He adores "skritches" around the sides of his neck and his cheeks as long as you don't hit his new (still in the casing) feathers wrong, but gets quite defensive if attempts are made to handle any other parts. He rarely bites now and when he does it's really not too bad but I still feel he's too unpredictable to put on a shoulder.

His favorite treats are grapes and peanuts and he will take them from your mouth without mishap.

Adoption Fee: $250.00

Hey! Got a grape?
Jasper

 

 
Damon is a Crimson Bellied Conure

Damon is a green cheek conure about 10 years old, he loves to go exploring and visiting people throughout the house. He is a very adventurous eater (he loves berries, bananas and oatmeal) but mostly he eats Zupreem and a variety of seed, he loves being spoonfed! Damon is afraid of large groups of people (he gets right in his cage and doesn't want to come out) but he is quite friendly in smaller groups. He knows how to step up and he loves doing the dishes with his foster mom. He also loves to take baths. I just put out a lukewarm bowl of water, and he jumps in and has fun. He also loves to eat mandarin oranges.

Froster Update. Damon is a very sweet parrot with a charming personelity. He gets along well with children.

Adoption fee: $180

I don't love doing the dishes, They MAKE me do the dishes

Private Adoptions & Small Parrots

From time to time WAES receives calls concerning smaller birds, such as budgies, finches, cockatiels and lovebirds, in need of adoptive homes. Though it is impractical for WAES to participate in the adoption process for these smaller birds, private adoptions are sometimes arranged between the parties. The Rescue Committee will help facilitate contact concerning private adoptions whenever possible. In the case of a private adoption, WAES neither arranges nor pays for the veterinary exam, disease testing, or health care, nor does WAES warrant the health of the bird. If you choose to adopt privately, please remember that the only way to know if a bird is ill or carrying a disease is to have an avian vet check the bird and perform various tests. Regardless of where or how you acquire a bird, any bird new to your home should be quarantined for at least 60 days to prevent the spread of disease and to help the bird gradually acclimate to its new environment.
