A PARROT CAN BE A FRIEND FOR LIFE.

Fred is a 22 year old Catalina Macaw, A New Jersey hatched, hand raised cross breed of a Blue & Gold Macaw, and a Scarlet Macaw, he picks at his feathers something he would not do in the wild, but then in the wild Blue & Golds and Scarlets don't cross breed. Fred will out live all of us. We are faced with a dilemma, the perpetual care for those we have now and those who will come to us in the future.

JoJo is the first Lucky Parrot. She is well up there in years, we are not sure how old she is. JoJo was rescued from an apartment in NYC. Her previous companion was an elderly man, who passed on. Nobody wanted this old bird. What a mistake this is the sweetest Amazon you may ever meet. Jojo is almost blind, and arthritic, yet she continues to enjoy life as best she can, she sits in the sunshine, eats a lot, and sings opera, she is a joy. But like all Amazon Parrots, she also BITES.

Max the big guy foreground left is the largest of all the various Amazon Parrots, He is a Mealy Amazon, called as such because he looks like he has been "Dusted with flour". Max is VERY LOUD, you don't want to live indoors with a Mealy Amazon. The two guys in the back on the right are Red Lored Amazons. They have always been together. They came to Lucky Parrot after their human caretaker passed away. We believe they are about 30 years old.
"Doc" is in the foreground on the right he is a Double Yellow Head Amazon, his age is unknown, but judging by his coloring he must be at least 25 years old, "Doc" is not people friendly, most likely because he has been bounced from home to home, sold many times over, his great beauty was his downfall, everyone wanted him but no one could be his friend.

Woodstock is a white eyed Conure, rescued from a poor situation. When he came to us his normally green feathers were brown from stress and a poor diet. Woodstock, is better now and lives in a aviary with his friend Bucky.

This group of four Amazon Parrots come from very similar backrounds.
Each lived with a person or family, whose life circumstances changed, and the Parrots could no longer co-exist within those changes.
Real life got in the way, and the birds had to go.
We strongly suggest that you do not make an impulse purchase of a Parrot, when your current circumstances change and change they will, that cute baby Parrot will act up, and you will have no choice but to "get rid of the bird".
