Paco and Maquita are two Macaws who are looking to change their luck in life. C.A.A.R.E. actually went and bought these birds because they were housed in a bad situation. The rescue saved a third bird who needs extensive medical treatments. Paco was kept in a cage that was welded shut. She doesn’t really know how to live outside of…
Our friends at C.A.A.R.E. brought us a bright bird, both literally and figuratively. Henery is a 9-year-old Jenday Conrue. He is a cuddly, affectionate guy who loves his skritches. He, like most birds, also loves junk food. Adam Ladwig got to feed him a sour cream and onion potato chip. He’s so lovable, C.A.A.R.E. volunteer Carrie Leopold tells us…
If you’re thinking about becoming a first-time bird owner, these might be the birds for you. Carrie Leopold and her son Isaac from C.A.A.R.E. are introducing us to Peat and Repeat this morning. They are a bonded pair of budgies. Budgies are wonderful starter birds. They’re small, and they’re relatively quiet. They can live quite nicely in apartments. Budgies…
A diva flies in for this week’s Pet Connection. Peaches is a female Moluccan Cockatoo. That is the largest breed of cockatoo, and her personality lives up to her size. Our friends at C.A.A.R.E. thinks she’s a little over 10 years old. Birds like her can live 70+ years. She loves to be the center of attention. Peaches loves…
We’ve got another Pet Connection success story to share with you this morning. Bogart the Blue and Yellow Macaw was dealing with some stress when he visited us in early January. Our friends at C.A.A.R.E. took him in after his owner died. Bogie got stressed and started plucking his chest feathers. He was improving by the time we met…
We’ve got another successful connection to share with you. Just last week our friend at C.A.A.R.E. brought four little, lively budgies on the show. They’re great birds for inexperienced bird owners. Just two days later, three of the budgies found a forever home together. They’re very social and love being in groups. Their new owners say on Facebook the…
We have a flock of birds joining us for Pet Connection this week. C.A.A.R.E. volunteer Kassie Dotzler brought four budgies to share with us. Budgies are an ideal bird for an inexperienced bird owner. They only live five to ten years when larger parrots can have the same lifespan as the average human. They’re relatively quiet, which means they’re…
Bogart, a.k.a. Bogie, joins us for this week’s Pet Connection. Bogie is a 16-year-old Blue and Yellow Macaw. He came to our friends at C.A.A.R.E. after his previous owner fell ill and died. He plucked his chest feathers due to stress, but is doing better and seeing some regrowth. Bogie does better around women, but is shy and takes…
