It`s been a bit of a whirlwind lately! One minute I was flying free with my wild flock of conure friends in San Francisco, enjoying the city views. The next, I wasn`t feeling so great, pretty wobbly actually. Someone kind saw me looking a bit rough and called animal control, and then I ended up at the shelter. Luckily, the nice folks there reached out to Mickaboo, and now I`m here getting the best care. I`m just about a year old, so still a youngster, but I`m hoping to get back on my feet soon.

They think my wobbliness might be from something called rat poison, which is a bit scary to think about, but I`m a fighter! Everyone at Mickaboo is making sure I`m comfortable and trying to help me stabilize. I`m told that if I get better, they`re going to try and introduce me to another wild conure they have here. I really miss having bird buddies around, so that sounds absolutely wonderful to me.

My name is Oriole, and even though I`m recovering, I`m dreaming of a future in a safe, well-prepared home with a new friend. I`m hoping to find a loving home someday where I can be safe and sound with plenty of toys and delicious treats. If you`re looking for a sweet, resilient conure with a wild spirit, I might just be the one for you!

(Oriole will not be available until treatment is complete and they appear stable -- June 2025).
