Toby, parrot
Darling Toby is a male eclectus parrot staying at Florida Parrot Rescue.
Toby is a social butterfly and he loves dogs! His vaccinations aren't up to date quite yet.
From Toby's caretaker:
Hello everyone! My name is Toby and I am a very handsome, gentle, 10-year-old male Eclectus. My mommy loved me very much, but when her health began to decline, she asked Florida Parrot Rescue to find a new home for me. I’ve been living with my foster family for a few weeks now and enjoying the company. I can’t wait to find a place to call my own. My foster mom calls me a “perfect gentleman” and says I am a really good bird. I’m quiet and sweet, and love to be held and talked to. I love people and attention, so I do need to be adopted into a home where I can be outside of my cage a majority of the time.

Bella's caretakers say:
Hello there! My name is Bella and I am a very handsome Blue and Gold Macaw. At a recent vet visit, we found out that I am actually a boy! No one is really sure how old I am, but I’m young at heart! My foster mom says I am not much trouble at all. I enjoy attention on my terms. Sometimes, I can’t wait to be taken out of my cage, but sometimes I prefer a little alone time. Since coming to rescue I am trying all kinds of different foods. I earned I really love bananas! I am a very good bird who loves to be involved with the family.

Her vaccinations aren't up to date quite yet. Lola is a special needs pet, so please inquire about her specific care requirements.
Contact Florida Parrot Rescue for information about Lola's compatibility with kids and other pets.
Lola's friends say:
Olá from Lola! I am an approximately 15-year old, double yellow-headed Amazon. I had a rough time of it in my early years, but I haven’t let that stop me from being a “doll of a parrot”. My foster mom says I am sweet when I want to be. Hey - that’s us Amazons! I do have to wear a plastic collar almost all of the time because of the stress of my early years. But I have quite a few things to say. My foster mom seems to think I might be speaking Portuguese. I say "hello" when the phone rings, “you crazy rabbit!” and “cock-a-doodle-do!” -- how fun is that? Would you like to come and meet me?

Volker, parrot
Darling Volker is a female Amazon parrot being cared for at Florida Parrot Rescue.
Her vaccinations aren't up to date quite yet.
There's no information on Volker's profile about how she does with children or other animals, so it's worth asking Florida Parrot Rescue directly. Volker is a special needs pet, so please inquire about her specific care requirements.
What my friends at Florida Parrot Rescue think of me:
Hi! My name is Volker, and I am a yellow-naped Amazon. I am 43 years young. In captivity, we Amazons can live to be 60 to 80 years old, so I have lots of years left in me! I am a really sweet, sweet girl. I will step up, but I prefer to step backwards onto your hand. I also give sweet, beaky kisses and will happily accept head scratches! I love attention, enjoy being with people, and love listening to all kinds of music and sitting in my foster mommy's sunroom. I would make a great companion for someone who is semi-retired or works from home. If you have the time to show me patience and the heart to show me love, then please fill out an application.

Notes from Mac's friends:
Hello! My name is Mac. My foster parents say I am a very beautiful and loving Blue & Gold Macaw. My foster dad brags about how gentle I am. I really love my head scratches and as much attention as you can possibly give me! Oh, and I almost forgot to mention, I love to take baths too! I am on a healthy diet of pellets, fruits and veggies. I must say I am not real picky and haven’t turned down anything my foster parents have offered me. If you come meet me I am sure you will be really impressed!
