Frankie is a smart cookie who needs a family to show him some love this morning. He can use some good fortune. He was one of the birds that C.A.A.R.E. rescued from a life of neglect. He’s doing well after the rescue and is ready to find a home. Frankie is a Blue and Gold Macaw, about 17 or…
We’ve got another Pet Connection success story to share with you. Henery is a Jenday Conrue with a quirky, big personality. He joined us three weeks ago. He snacked on potato chips, chirps, flew around the studio and acted like he owned the place. Now he has a new home for his out-sized personality. C.A.A.R.E. Parrot Rescue says he…
A local animal rescue is looking for your help this morning to help pay the medical bills of a group of birds they rescued from a life of neglect. C.A.A.R.E. paid to take four Macaws and an Umbrella Cockatoo out of a dangerous home. We featured some of the birds on this week’s Pet Connection. Two of the five…
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…
We’ve got another Pet Connection success story to share with you this morning. Pete and Repeat visited us two weeks ago. They are a bonded pair of budgies who were looking for a new home together. Bonded budgies don’t do well if they’re separated, so it was important someone took them both in. Well, a week later they found…
We have a Pet Connection success story to share this morning. A bird and a young boy found the perfect match in each other. We met Diego the parrot almost exactly a year ago at C.A.A.R.E. in West Fargo. Shortly after that, the Leopold family adopted him, and he quickly warmed up to the family’s 12-year-old son, Isaac. The…
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…
