Adoptable Birds
The following is a list of birds currently up for adoption. Due to the costs involved with the care of these birds (such as vet care, food, toys, etc.) we do charge an adoption fee for all of our birds. If you are interested contact info@saskatoonparrotrescue.ca for more information or fill out an application form.
Berry
Berry is a male budgie @ 3 years old. He’s a very good boy who needs a caring home for his special needs. ❤️ He’s on Meloxicam once a day for his bad foot. He has trouble gripping anything with that foot. He can’t fly for too long or too far, but he does enjoy getting out of his cage. He gets lots of cuddles after his medication. If you can provide Berry with the home he needs and deserves, please fill out our on line adoption application on our website. PS His eyes show how unimpressed he was with his nail trim. 😄
Blue and Jay
Blue and Jay are an adorable pair of male budgies. They could easily be hand tamed if you have the time and patience. They LOVE to fly free. When they first arrived, they were very reluctant to come out of their cage. Perhaps previously caged birds (?). Their age is unknown. They’re on a seed diet supplemented with Prime Vitamins. They enjoy boiled eggs and steamed broccoli. Please fill out an adoption form on our website if you’d like to add these Hollywood handsome boys to your family.
Glory (Glow)
Our wonderful foster Jenna, has taught “Glo” how to play peek-a-boo and wave at you with his foot. We’re still accepting applications, so please send yours in ASAP! You don’t want to miss out on this guy! Glory is a 7 year old, DNA tested male conure. According to his current foster family, he’s a fabulous bird with a HUGE personality! His diet consists of Roudybush Mini or Crumble pellets, fresh chop, not frozen. He likes his walnuts, almonds, and cashews, size appropriate portions, and in moderation. He also gets fruit, rice, and boiled potatoes. Glory is very vocal with natural conure noises and his small vocabulary complete with coughing and evil laughing. Like the majority of conures, he can have an attitude at times. Probably best to leave him alone during these times. Any potential adopter should have some grasp on reading conure body language or you might receive his “Ninja Nip”. Let Glory come around on his own terms, but do not allow him to get his own way. He was used to having no boundaries, and as a result, he developed aggression issues because he could do whatever he wanted. His fosters have done a great job working with him to establish some rules and boundaries. Glory gets pain medication twice a day for his bad leg/foot. His new family must be prepared to administer this faithfully to keep him pain free. He also barbers his chest during the dreaded hormonal period. In summary, he’s a typical conure with lots to offer his new family. Loves hanging out with his human friends. With all adoptions, potential adopters will be given a one week trial period to make sure it’s a good fit for both you and Glory.
Pippin
Pippin is on trial with her fosters 💕 Pippin is a 6 1/2 year old, DNA tested female pineapple conure. She’s still unsure of hands, but earning our trust a little every day. She loves to cuddle. She’ll nestle in your neck or under your chin, and you’ll hear that wonderful conure purr. ☺️. Loves head scratches, but on her terms. She’ll slowly walk over and rub against your hand until you give her scritches. She also gives kisses. She sleeps in her purple fuzzy hut, and her cage is covered at bedtime. Pippin has gotten better with loud noises. She has no choice, lol. Her foster home has lots of birds and 2 dogs. 😄 Pippin shows no fear of anything. This could prove harmful to her in certain situations, so we are working on setting some boundaries. We’re finding these sweet, tame birds are more prone to accidents because of their fearless nature and curiosity. Supervision is highly recommended. She likes to be involved in everything. As most conures, she LOVES water!! She’ll bath in any water source she can find, lol. Pippin is a plucker. It might not be a habit she can easily break. But she’s cute non-the-less, lol. She’s on a pellet diet, supplemented with fruit. Blueberries are her favourite. She also likes hemp hearts and almonds in moderation. As with conures, they can have their moods. Learning their body language is huge for a successful relationship. In summary, Pippin is a wonderful, busy girl who will bring joy to any household.
Blue
Blue is a 4 year old, male, green cheek conure. He’s somewhat quiet for a conure. Doesn’t overly vocalize. His primary diet is Roudybush Maintenance Mini or Crumble pellets and Harrison’s Lifetime Fine. He also gets appropriate portions of various nuts, apples, blueberries, and the occasional citrus treat. He likes plain steamed rice or plain boiled potato. Blue gets a sprinkle of ground flax on his fresh food. His treats consist of Nutriberries, a small amount of sunflower seeds, or a bit of grape or banana. Blue is a kind little bird that is still quite mistrustful of hands. He will bite as a last resort. He loves being outside his cage. He seems to be okay with other birds and dogs. Blue needs a home with someone with a lot of patience, and won’t push expectations of handling or cuddling. He will eventually come around when you earn his trust. Please do your research on conures before applying. Adoption applications can be found on our website.
Phoenix (Vern)
Vern is a male budgie @ 3 years old. He suffered an attack from a cat about a year ago and suffered major wing damage. He’s been checked out by an avian vet and is cleared for adoption. He’s a happy wee fellow who would do best in a home with other budgies. He gets along good with his cage mate, Geoff, but easily adapts to other budgies. He will require pain medication once a day for the rest of his life. He’s a real trouper about taking his meds. Because he’s a special case, we would prefer applicants with experience in giving meds. Application is found on our website.
Luna (Geoff)
Molly is another of our found and unclaimed female budgies. ☹️. She’s an adorable tiny lady who would love to go to a home with other female budgies. Please let us know if you’d be interested in adding Molly to your current feathered flock.
Bluey and BINGO
Bluey and Bingo are a pair of 1 year old male budgies. They are quite skittish and require lots of patience and interaction. They are not hand tamed. They are very adorable and in need of someone to love them. If you would like adopt these boys, please fill out our on line adoption form found on our website.
Cupcake
Cupcake is a beautiful female budgie, age unknown. She was a bit timid at first, but is doing wonderful in her foster home with other female budgies. She loves to venture out and be one of the flock. She has the most beautiful white Angel wings. 😍 Cupcake is available for adoption. If you would like to add her to your family, please fill out our online adoption form.
