Hello! You haven't heard from me for a few days but here I am begging for your help - Yes you! Please don't think about hitting Delete before you finish this message. We have quite a few large birds that need to be surrendered but I do not have a home available. These two listed below are intakes that should happen ASAP. Cupid - 25 year old Double Yellow Head Amazon female - very very hormonal and in need of medical intervention, diet and weight loss, adequate sleep, and environmental changes. According to her last vet she can live a quality life by lowering her estrogen levels through injections every couple of months, improving types of foods she eats, a healthier weight, and an environment where she is not overstimulated and is given opportunities for exercise and activity. Her current owner is unable to manage the discipline required to make these changes and does not have the money for vet bills. This is a sweet natured bird but is on self destruct without the medical management required. She prefers women, loves kids, is comfortable in a home with cats, sings opera, and clucks like a chicken. Dr. Sanders at WIldwood in Portola Valley is her vet and we would like Cupid to stay with Dr. Sanders if possible. Quetters - 18 year old B&G macaw, probably female. Owner is dealing with elderly parents and has personal medical issues and Quetters is not receiving any attention. Owner says this is a nice bird who enjoys company. She is used to women and small dogs. Placement location is not an issue with this bird. Our goal with incoming birds is to place them in a stable environment until the right adoptive home is found. Unfortunately during the holidays with scheduled trips and company coming, some foster homes are not available. If you would be able to take either of these birds for the short term that would at least get them out of difficult situations and we can do a better job of placement after the end of the year. These are fairly big birds with big caging requirements. Please let me know if you can help. Thanks for considering these ladies.
