Why adopt a parrot

[she]

While I scream at my mom..another parrot wishes he had a mom.While I throw food on the floor..another parrot wishes it had food.While I cuddle with mom..another parrot wishes for the love of a human....While I scream at mom as she cleans my cage, another parrot wishes he had a clean cage.As I splash my water all over the place, another bird wishes it had clean water to drink.As I play with my toys a parrot wishes they had a toy.As I get Quaker hugs, another parrot wishes it had a mom to rub their face against.As I am let out to play another bird wishes they could come out.As I am taken to the vet for a check up another bird wishes they were healthy.As I got my parrots from a rescue, more rescue parrots wish for their forever home.As I get a loving scritch on my head, anther parrot wishes for loving, not cruel hands.As I take a bath another parrot wishes they were clean .As I won’t come in from the aviary another parrot wishes it had a big enough cage.As I get to go outside for fresh air play dates, some parrots just wish for clean air to breathe.As I have my nails and beak trimmed another bird wishes they could even perch but their nails are too long.As I sit on my perch another bird wishes for something besides cage bars to perch on.Please adopt a parrot from a rescue for that parrot would love the life that we lead.Composed by: Barb Chance Vagg, Fran Itzazu, Kim Batemn, Mary Ann Wise, Michelle Troup, Sheila Ambrose

So very true Shelia and thanks for sharing it with us here on greyforums.

All our birds but 2 Cockatiels are from other places and some have had many bad homes prior to living with us.

We have a mix when it comes to rehome parrots and new parrots and they all turned out great.

Our blue fronted amazon that we rehomed has turned out to be the sweetest bird ever and I did not expect that.

My Blue Front Amazon, Louie, is a re-homed parrot, and I am totally delighted to have him in his new forever home! One of the best things I have every done! I also re-homed a male eclectus which didn't mesh well with me but I was determined that he would have a loving forever home, now two years later, Sully has a new forever home with a young man who loves him unconditionally. So yes, Sheila we should all do what we can for our flighted friends. Great post!!!

I've had six months with my rag-tag little TAG Gilbert. He has his issues and baggage, I wouldn't trade him for anything in the world. There is just nothing like a hard earned snuggle or the show of trust from a wary little character with a very sharp beak and quick reaction time. I don't know if he was wishing from me to come into his life, but I know I needed him in mine.
