Make an on-line slideshow at www.OneTrueMedia.com
IT IS TERRIBLE THE WAY THESE BEAUTIFUL BIRDS ARE TREATED WHEN THEY ARE NOT WANTED ANYMORE AND I REALLY TRY TO SAVE ALL OF THEM I CAN.IF YOU HAVE A PARROT THAT YOU NO LONGER WANT TO CARE FOR PLEASE FIND SOMEONE TO TAKE IT IN YOUR AREA BEFORE YOU GET SO TIRED OF IT YOU START TO ABUSED AND NEGLECT IT.THAT IS NOT FAIR TO THE BIRD.IT DID NOT ASK TO BE A PET.
I AM ROMEO & JULIAN'S MOMMY & OUR MISSION IS NOT ONLY TO SPREAD THE WORD,BUT I WANT TO SAVE AS MANY ABUSED PARROTS THAT I CAN AFFORD TO PAY FOR.(which we pay hundreds for them beacause the irresponsible owners only care about the money and not the parrot)AND AS MANY THAT WILL FIT IN MY HOUSE.WE ARE A FOREVER HOME FOR THEM UNLESS IT JUST WON'T WORK.FOR AN EXAMPLE WE HAD A GOFFINS COCKATOO WHICH ALOT OF YOU HELPED ME WITH THE MONEY TO RESCUE HER.HER NAME IS SWEETPEA AND SHE STAYED WITH ME FOR 6-7 MONTHS BUT WAS SO VERY UNHAPPY.I TRIED EVERYTHING BUT SHE NEEDED TO BE IN A HOME WHERE SHE WAS THE ONLY BIRD.SHE IS STILL IN THE FAMILY SHE JUST LIVES WITH MY DAUGHTER.SHE HAD HER TOE BROKEN AT SOME POINT IN HER LIFE AND WAS MOVED SOOO MUCH,I WAS THE 3 HOME IN 2 WEEKS.VERY SAD.
I have started this site in hopes that is gets spread all around the world about buying parrots.

DON'T BUY ONE FOR THE WRONG REASONS. KEEP IN MIND THEY WILL OUT LIVE YOU. NOT ALL OF THEM WILL TALK AND BE TAME FOR YOU. DON'T DO IT BECAUSE IT IS PRETTY. IF YOU BUY ONE-YOU HAVE JUST ADOPTED A NEW BABY.
PEOPLE JUST DON'T UNDERSTAND
I have to say this,I don’t know about where you live but here where I am,I am constantly seeing birds in the classifieds.Whats up with that? People get a parrot mainly cuz they want a bird that talks,HELLO not all of them do that.Then when they see that there bird is not a talker they put it in the corner until they can sell it.Which for Rocko took 2 yrs. for me to find him.It really makes me mad and sick at the same time and now that it is spring birds are really starting to come up for sale cuz their owners didn’t do their homework before buying the bird and they can’t handle or understand the breeding season that only lasts a couple weeks.The bird nips and the owner sells.Horrible!!!! I don’t know about anyone else but all of my babies are as close to human as they can get and we don’t sell humans cuz of bad behavior.UGH!!!!! Makes me sooo mad.
Sorry I just can’t understand people and how they bounce birds from home to home.
A PARROT'S PRAYER
LORD HEAR OUR PRAYER..........................
For all the wild caught parrots so savagely netted and swept away from their families while their babies dumped into burlap sacks cried out in terror.
LORD HEAR OUR PRAYER..........................
For all the exotic birds that witnessed the destruction of all the blessed trees and fled fires in fear from man's thirst to dominate, stripping the land of all its inhabitants, leaving nothing but bare ground behind.
LORD HEAR OUR PRAYER..........................
For all the parrots that struggled through the capture, but died merciless in transport from the stress of overcrowded, barbaric, confinements and inconceivable horror.
LORD HEAR OUR PRAYER..........................
For all the survivors that made it into captivity but exist in a nightmare of confinement unable to use their God given wings of flight as they once remembered.
LORD HEAR OUR PRAYER..........................
For all the baby birds bred in captivity whose crop's burned or have died needlessly from harshness of human hands.
LORD HEAR OUR PRAYER..........................
For all captive birds that have been erased from their owner's consciousness and are abandoned to a lifeless existence with only a distant memory of what is was like to hear a gentle voice from someone that used to care.
LORD HEAR OUR PRAYER..........................
For all those helpless creatures who don't know what it's like to live life as a bird or even to feel the breeze or sunlight but are doomed to darkness in closets or garages, trapped inside covered cages or shackled.
LORD HEAR OUR PRAYER..........................
For all the macaws, cockatoos, amazons, and conures that are stripped of their vocal cords for screaming; their sensitive beaks cut back to prevent biting.
LORD HEAR OUR PRAYER..........................
For all birds that end up for sale in pet shops or breeders like used merchandise, unwanted and frightened in strange surroundings with nothing more than the familiar sight of bars on a cage.
LORD HEAR OUR PRAYER..........................
For all the neglected birds that are sick with infections from filthy conditions and malnourishment that may never recover and know what it is like to feel healthy and be playful.
LORD HEAR OUR PRAYER..........................
For all the misconceived parrots who were beaten, stabbed, blinded and burned for just being a parrot.
LORD HEAR OUR PRAYER..........................
For every african grey, cockatoo and macaw that punishes itself from confinement and boredom by maiming their bodies and plucking their feathers and for those who have lost all spirit of life and sway their head low from side to side slowly into insanity.
LORD HEAR OUR PRAYER..........................
WE ASK HUMBLY OF YOU, DEAR LORD TO LOOK UPON ALL OF YOUR MAGNIFICENT FEATHERED CREATIONS PROTECT THEM FROM EVIL AND HARM CAUSED BY MAN AND TO BRING FORTH AN AWAKENING IN THE HUMAN HEART AND MAKE IT A KINDER, GENTLER WORLD FOR ALL CAPTIVE BIRDS............AMEN

My Interests



NOT ALL PARROTS ARE GONNA TALK!!!!!!

This is the main reason people go buy one and let me share someting with you.The African Grey is known for it's ability to talk very well and that they have the mind of a 5yr old.Well mine named Rocko DOESN'T say one word and he may never say anything but you see I am ok with that.I also have a Macaw that also doesn't talk.I have one quaker that talks and one that doesn't.My 2 amazons are ok talkers.One says Hello and nothing else and the other says alot but only when he wants to.So please don't just run out and buy one because you want a bird that talks.Birds are not cheap.I spend hundreds of dollars saving them from people that are aweful to them.I also spend hours cleaning up after them.

I DECIDED TO POST THIS HERE FROM ROMEO'S PROFILE

ROCKO'S STORY.......9-23-02 D.O.B.

Found him in the paper and the lady for the past 2yrs. never touched him or played with him at all.He was in the corner by himself with no toys either and not even 1 perch.When I asked what his name was she said that they didn't give him a name.As I looked around her house she had ALOT of dogs running around and 2 cockatoo's in the front room.She also had breeding pairs of suns,greys and too's in the back room.So here the poor guy is with nothing.Brought him home on 9/27/2007 and he is scared to death.(I fully believe he was wild caught and used as a breeder bird) but in time he will know how much love is here for him.It has been 8 months and I still can't touch him with out a towel which breaks my heart and whats worse is I still can't let him out like everyone else.Excuse this but...LISA HERD IN IRRIGON,OR. YOU ARE A TOTAL BITCH!!!!!

THIS IS FOR LISA HERD.. THE WOMAN I GOT ROCKO(AT LEAST WE GAVE HIM A NAME) FROM CUZ SHE DOES LOOK AT OUR PROFILE AND I REALLY HOPE SHE SEES THIS:

LISA HERD IN IRRIGON,OR STATES ON HER WEB PAGE THIS BIRD IS OVER PREENED AND I CALL BULLSHIT ON THAT ONE!!!!!!

You need to be bitch slapped for treating Rocko the way you did.Ya Rocko has a name.You had plenty of time for your cockatoo's so you sure as hell could have spent some time with Rocko everyday.You also could have givin him a name.You should not own ANY birds.People like you just piss me off so much.You don't care about the birds,all you care about is yourself and money.

I'd like to meet:

MY FRIENDS COMMENTS.........

Irresponsible pet ownership makes Mom real mad too! It is unfortunate (and devastating to the pets) that some people are so selfish!

Posted by PRINCE PERI

I totally agree the bird owners should be educated and know what they are getting into. I was well-aware of the antics of a caique when I got Misha and I love her dearly. She can be a nippy little sh** sometimes, but that comes with the territory. Then she will tell me she loves me (yeah, she talks, sometimes too much and laughs appropriately which is kinda spooky!) and my heart melts. She is a great companion for me and works with me every day.

I have seen for myself how people go to a pet shop and buy a bird for their small child and don't have a clue. It is also the responsibility of the shop owner to educate their customers about responsibility to the bird and take the time to do that. I have a shop owner friend who does just that and is not just looking for the sale. She has turned people away when she sees that their living situation would be detrimental to the bird. Bird safety comes first! That's how I make my toys, as safe as possible. I do my best to come up with solutions to designs that I make that I feel could potentially harm a bird. I know how I would feel if something happened to Misha! I will gladly put this site on my top friends and pass it along.

I have some really neat toys at DANDMBIRDTOYS.COM, I am very proud of what you are doing, so keep up the good work. There needs to be more like you!

BROCK AND BECKY

Brock and I understand that so well. When Brock came to us, my best friend had purchased him when he was a baby because she had a sun conure so long ago. What she didn't realize was that Dusky's are one of the noisiest conures there are. Monique had been in a car accident and took a lot of medications and slept. It was not a happy relationship. She'd sit up in bed, scream at Brock and squirt him with a water bottle. To this day I have to give Brock a shower in the sink and he loves it. But if I pick up a squirt bottle to get one of the cats away or something he has a fit. I've tried showering him with a bottle because he shreds paper towels and gets a lot of paper dust and gets really itchy but he screams and runs. I'm not going to scare the little guy like that. He even yelled so loud one day at Monique's (it was the middle of the day) that she got upset and took him out of his cage and threw him on the bed. She could have really hurt the little guy. I was over there one day and he was climbing all over me and loving me up and I told her that if she ever wanted to get rid of him that I would be glad to take him. One month later, she brought him over to stay with me. It was a good thing too because she passed away from too many medications 6 months later and heaven knows what her husband would have done. I feel that things happen for a reason and this little bird was meant to be with me. The only time he is in his cage is when we are both gone at the same time. He has a good life now and is the most spoiled bird you'd ever want to see. So people, take care of what you purchase, they're not just birds, they're feathered little people. That's how they see themselves.

Have to agree, I had a lady at work that wanted to get a bird for her little girl, 5 yrs old mind you because she thought it was neat that I had birds. Well I had a sit down with her and explained all the things that are involved with birds. I told her that you just couldn't put them in a cage and ignore them. They have special needs probably more so than cats and dogs. Sorry cat and dog people. Well thank goodness she didn't get one, because I would have probably found a way to take it from her. Let's just hope that some of these people out there will wake up and think real hard before they get a bird. They need to realize that our feathered friends just might outlive us.. br

Me n my mom agree! when humans ask my mom about me she tells them about all the stuff that has to do with raising a bird. one stupid human told my mom that he had a parrot in south america and to get him to talk they sliced his tongue! my mom spat on him. (she doesn't have much control over herself sometimes) but she makes sure they know that it takes time. i remember when my grandpa had just brought me home for my mom he didnt like me because all i could do was bark. he said "he's not worth it. lets return him and get one that talks" and my mom would get mad and throw fits and yell. she was only 14 at the time. but she kept telling him that it doesnt matter, that she loves me. even if i pooped all over her, and even when i would bark like a loud dog, even when i bit through her upper lip, she loves me. and i hate the people that only want a bird or a parrot for their pretty colors. we pray for those birds and give those people dirty looks.

This makes me so sad. My mommy wishes she could just buy all these birds and give them a good home, but unfortunatly she doesn't have the time, space, or money to do that :( At least I'm one lucky birdy! No matter how badly behaved I can be sometimes, the worst i get is sent back to my cage, and if I'm REALLY bad, she closes the door! I can't imagine having an owner that abused or sold me when I'm badly behaved, because I know even the best bird has his moments. Unfortunatly, the birds who need the most care are the ones people like to buy because they're "cool" "pretty" "do tricks" and "talk," but they have no idea what they're getting into when they buy them. If only they spent more time and love with their "cool" bird, and it'd be really well behaved and be the kind of bird they were hoping for, but once little problem and they just give up and send them away :(

Unfortunatly, my mommy is going to college soon and won't be able to take me with her. But is she selling me because of that? NO! She's spent about the last 4 months looking for the perfect temporary owner while she's gone (luckily, she won't be gone for too long at a time). She won't settle for just anyone who wants to watch me - she loves me SO much that she's searching for just the right person who she can trust to love and take care of me like she does (she even lets me sleep in her bed at night! - probably not the best habit to get me into but it's a little late now haha). Fortunately, she discovered this week that I have a thing for her boyfriend's Quaker parrot, so that might work out :P People need to learn to love their pets as they would any other human being they have a strong bond with. Mommy loves me for what I am - her baby. Of course, she tells anyone who asks about me that we're in our own little love affair

Mommy tries to educated her friends and family when they all say they want a big parrot for a pet. When she tells them what its like, and what it will be like they change their minds and go for finches lol. I'm so glad I have a smart mommy. She gets very angry when she sees ads in the pet stores for a parrot. We all know why the bird is in the ad and she wishes she can take them all home. But even mommy knows she can't handle a macaw or a too. I'm enough bird for her. She says Im a handful!

OUR FRIEND JONI SENT THIS TO US.........
THE RESCUE'S SONG.....
by Judith Archer
Will you take me home with you? I can't promise I'll be good No one has taught me how to act Or behave as a parrot "should."
My owner didn't treat me right He said that I was "bad" He never forgave me that first bite After that, he was always mad.
He shoved me back into my cage And so I started to scream Then he hit me in a rage And my life became a bad dream.
So now I scream and yes, I bite I'm angry and misunderstood But please take me home with you Love me and I'll be good.
Please let me come home with you And spend some time with me I can be sweet again I know Take me home, you'll see.
My first owner swore at me I learned to say things back So now my words are crude and rude Please cut me some slack.
If you let me come home with you I'll learn some nicer speech If you are kind and give me time I'll change my vulgar screech.
I'm really just a baby And so misunderstood Please let me come home with you I can learn to be good.
My owner just HAD to have me She thought I was "way cool" But now she doesn't have time for me She's busy with boys and school.
That's why I began to pluck I'm not pretty anymore I won't be much of an ornament If that's what you're looking for.
I may never grow new feathers My chest may always be bare, But my soul I know could heal itself If only someone would care.
I once belonged to a sailor Together we roamed the sea Then he needed some money So he decided to sell me.
I don't know how it happened Maybe I'd just gotten "old" I looked at him with love He looked at me and saw gold.
So I was sold to a breeder Who introduced me to my mate We produced chicks for nine years I was pleased with my fate.
But then I developed an illness And I could no longer produce She took my mate away from me She said I was no use.
You might think that after nine years I had earned some rest But she couldn't be bothered to keep me To her I was a pest.
It wasn't anything I asked for It wasn't anything I did She sent me off to an auction To be sold at the highest bid.
Who will buy a bird like me Neither breeder nor a pet It doesn't matter to my owner She'll take what she can get.
Could you, would you bid on me? Can I come home with you? I'd give anything to have a home Is there nothing I can do?
My last owner died and left me She said that she'd made plans But she never followed through on them And I've fallen into bad hands.
Please overlook my failings Please end this pain and strife Please, please take me home with you I'll be your friend for life.
My owner's kids didn't want me They called every shelter in town They've gotten an answer from one That offered to put me down.
After forty-five years of love Can this be the end? Is there no one out there Who wants a lifetime friend?
Will you take me home with you And let me be your friend? Please let me come home with you I deserve a better end.
Please take me home and treat me right And let our friendship grow Please let me come home with you This time it will work, I know.
