Hi, I’m Neno & I'm 26 years old

I came into the rescue a few years ago and after staying with a foster family, I arrived at my current home for safe housing and never left.

I have successfully hypnotised my people and I am idolised in my forever home. I am a Ducorps Cockatoo and I do have a bit of an issue with plucking but lots of toys, things to destroy and plenty of attention are helping a lot. Since arriving at my forever home I have learned to enjoy veg and I love it when Louise from the 3 Macawteers bakes treats for me.

Earlier this year I gave everyone an early Easter surprise by laying an egg. I’ve been told I’m a boy but I’ve proved everyone wrong. I love cheesy pop songs like Agardoo and my favourite treat is a piece of cheese. If you wanted to adopt a cockatoo like me you’d need to be ready for lots of noise and dust but we are very loving and cuddly.

My family say adopting me was the best thing they ever did so why not have a look at my friends and see if you have room in your heart for a parrot.

Hi there, My name is Rexi

Not much is known about my previous life but what I will say is I am super happy with the humans that chose me for there forever 'feathered son' as they call me.

I have been in my forever foster home for around 7 years, at the start I was very wary of the humans and used to bite them but they kept on trying with me and built my trust for them. I love my humans and can call their names as well as telling the fur baby to "shut up, get down & walkies"

My humans say I am super clever and wouldn't be with out me, they also say I changed their life. I will happily sing 'twinkle twinkle little star' and ' you are my sunshine' My mommy human keeps trying to get me singing on camera but I'm such a cheeky boy, I make sure I stop as soon as I see the camera come out. I much prefer my mommy human and she can give me tickles and kisses, I accept my male human and I try my hardest to be kind to him and allow him to speak to me with out giving him much grief but I deffinatly love my mommy more.

Alfie

Alright Treacle My names Alfie

Im a stunning Blue and Gold Macaw and I'm in my late 20's.

I am a cheeky boy, I came into rescue December 2023 and

have had such a good time.

My Safe house foster family have said that I'm soooooo cheeky, I don't think I am, I'm just me a typical young boy. I love to sing, dance, play, have fun and most of all I love my head scratches.

I didn't have the best start in life but I've certainly learned now that I can be friends and trust humans.

I do have feathered siblings in my safe house but I don't really like them. I much prefer to be the only bird in the house so I get all the attention which I will readily accept. I am also happy to sit and chill in my cage for parts of the day and I have made great friends with the human teenagers in the house who take me off into their bedroom for time alone with them which I really enjoy.

Safehouse mummy & Daddy feed me fresh, raw chop for breakfast which I wasn't used to at first but now I LOVE my fresh food, as well as my birdie pellets & freeze dried mixes for my tea. I also enjoy a few bits of nuts through the day and I get these for being a good boy and doing the things my humans ask me.

I would really like to find my forever home and a loving caring family of my own to love me forever!

If I am left to roam around unsupervised I do like to get up to no good sometimes and if I get the opportunity I will be a little mischievous so its best if I am supervised when out of my cage but I am more than happy to follow my humans around as they go about their day.

Could you be my new family? I promise I will love you forever & ever!

Here's a Message from Kobi's New foerever humans

We contacted Joan to show interest and had such a positive first call. We contacted back at a more convenient time where we agreed to head down to the rescue and meet the birds and Manni, Joan and Manni where really lovely and welcomed me and my children into there home. We had a full conversation about each bird with as much info as possible. The cleanliness instantly struck me, arnt birds supposed to be messy?! Yet there cages where immaculate as where the birds and each one had a massive space! You could see the love and passion in the way they interacted with the birds and how they could tell each one apart! I was so impressed. We left and had two birds in mind. We called Joan to discuss our thoughts and she was fully understanding and we went to spend time with our chosen boy, Kobi. Manni was on hand as he was his boy. He still shouts ‘where’s Manni gone?! every single day. What I liked most was there was no point of trying to get rid of the birds fast! The love was there for them! Joan and Manni were understanding, educational and honest. They told us all the positives and all the negatives and made sure our choice was correct for our forever boy so we spent time getting to know Kobi before a joint choice was made to bring him home! And we absolutley love him. What a character and clever boy we have chosen. He is super sweet and social! Contact with Joan and Manni after taking Kobi home is brilliant, I message with any concerns or updates and get a response pretty fast! An unbelievable rescue and run brilliant! Very pleased to say we are now members of Joan’s north wales parrot rescue!

Osca

Ey Up, My name is Osca.

I came into rescue at the start of Feburay 2024 and im a 12 year old blue and gold macaw with some very special pale yellow streaks in my tail.

My human loved me very much but didn't have much time to spend with me, I started to lash out at him & attack him when his appearance changed and I started being mischievous chewing his things up. I got lonely and board so would pull out my tail feathers,& chew & pull other feathers out too.

He made the hard decision after discussions with Joan to put me into rescue so I could find a forever home with someone who did have the time to care for me. I went directly to Louise and Zac's home on a safe house basis. They changed my diet, routine and helped me work on training.

Since I have been here I have grown in confidence and learnt lots of new tricks, I love it when Louise sings to me even though she has a terrible voice I sing along to help her out, I love the attention they all give me and going out and about with them to events, walks down the beech & through the woods. I moved from a single bird cage to the big boy indoor aviary and I heard the whole family talk about how well I have done, settled in and how much they all love me so they were going to offer me a forever home.

I'm such a happy Chappy and I truly have found a special home with in the human family and the flock too. I show my happiness by giving lots of love to the humans and I give them cuddles all the time.

Apple & Pineapple

These 2 little beauties lived alongside 2 African greys, Dee the greenwing macaw who is currently under assessments and Pip and Squeak the 2 caiques looking for their forever home.

They didn't have names when we collected them so my son and grandson named them Apple and Pineapple both saying they deserved a name of their own and couldnt go to forever homes with out a name, and I totally agreed they needed their own names.

They spent a couple of days with us under safe house agreement, having a shower and eating some healthy food. As soon as they I put these 2 on the Facebook page as rescued, a lovely lady contacted Joan to say she had space for them in her small bird room, small bird as in the bird size as the room is a large room.

These 2 little beauties' have joined an indoor bird room alongside a load of other budgies, some conures, cockatoos, a sun conure.

They will live an amazing life for the rest of their years and get the love and care they really deserve as well as be valuable flock members
