Rocky is a Yellow Nape Amazon, about 21 years old. She had a very good home until the children wanted, and got a dog, Rocky
was jealous of the new center of attention. She flew off her perch and dive bombed the dog. Something had to be done, they
got rid of Rocky.

Bubba (left) and Ginger, Blue & Gold Macaws,
Bubba came here from northern Michigan,
and lives here because she is truly loved.
Ginger previously lived with a woman
who was too ill to give a her the daily care,
food, toys, and entertainment, she requires.
Ginger is a sweet bird, a bit shy, a bit skittish.
Every day for fun, she turns 2x4's into toothpicks.

Hi, I'm Madison, named for the Mermaid in the movie "Splash"that took her name from that Avenue in NYC. I am a Blue Front
Amazon. I can bark just like a dog, I also do a great wolf whistle. In spite of these virtues, or probably because of them,
I found myself unwanted by the NYC family I had lived with for years. Lucky Parrot Sanctuary made a place for me.
|
They call me Lexington, just because I arrived, at Lucky Parrot, shortly after Madison. One would have expected them to be
more creative in the naming process. I am a Yellow Crown, notice the bright yellow crop of feathers on my crown. The people
I lived with, got rid of me because of a new baby. I don't know what they, did with the cat. But, in spite of my being named
after a NYC Avenue, I guess I really did get "Lucky". Now I hang out with Rocky, she's pretty cool.

The 14' Hexagon Aviary houses six African Grey Parrots,
The white PVC piping is a misting system to keep the area cool on hot days. All four Aviaries have similar systems.
The Greys all fly, and get along with each other.
The Greys in our experience are much mellower then the other parrots.

Monty is a Timnah, a tiny African Grey, with a huge personality, if he sees you eating, or drinking, or having any fun at
all, he'll figure a way to get to where you are and join in the fun. Birds are flock creatures, they are hardly ever alone
in the wild. In captivity they also seek companionship, this endearing trait is one of the reasons people become so attracted
to parrots. But if one bonds with a parrot and then rejects it, one can expect the parrot to display its sorrow, in unimaginable
ways. Parrots, like most people, do not take rejection well.
