Meet Harley!
A Harlequin Macaw.
Harley is a hybrid, meaning that he has 2 different parents.
Harley's mother is a blue and gold Macaw and his father is a greenwinged Macaw.
Harley is considered to be my
" Signature" Bird.
He is what the rescue is all about. Now is allowed to be what he was created to be...
A PARROT....
Harley hails from Michigan.
Sadly, he spent many years of his life living in a dog crate with no perches or toys and very little room to move. Stressful living conditions led Harley to self mutilation. Eating only sunflower seeds, what feathering he had, was ragged and dull in color.
Constant screaming and confinement had his "owners" wanting rid of this nasty, UGLY Bird. This is a 5 year transformation.
Out of neglect or abuse or need , regardless of Behavior or "LOOKS"
these wonderful creatures have come to

That Guy With The Birds!
Calypso had 6 or 7 previous owners.
I was called to take a very loud biting Mexican Red Head of 23-25 years old.
To my amazement , she is a RedFronted Macaw.
Somewhere along the line , Nobody knew what type of parrot they had. A "Pet store" Idenified her as an Amazon.
Lots of chatter ?
It's their Nature !
Parrots will be Parrots.
KoKo is a very much loved bird by her former owners.
She was a chronic feather "Chewer" Just needed the Cockatoo attention and a diet change.
KoKo is feathering well, but at times gets the urge to pick a bit. She is now in the program and does her Umbrella Dance.
Updated pictures to follow.
