Jake, an approximately 14 year old Nanday Conure, was the 100th bird released to CARE during 2007.

We don't have a lot of information on Jake, but she was obviously well-loved as she is one of the sweetest birds we've ever had here.

Jake's previous owners had taken her to the vet to euthanize her because they were no longer able to take care of her. Luckily the vet was able to convince them to release her to us and give her a chance at a wonderful life with a new family. She is very healthy and has a wonderful disposition.

Along with several other adoptable birds, Jake appeared on WTMJ Channel 4, NBC's local Milwaukee affiliate's show The Morning Blend on May 7, 2007. You can see that show here, and we will probably have it on our website shortly.

Nanday Conures can be extremely loud, so they do not make good pets for people who live in apartments or are noise-sensitive. Jake loves to play with toys and is a voracious wood-chewer.

If you're interested in adopting Jake or any other bird at our shelter, please fill out a Bird Wanted Questionnaire. And please help us spread the word about our facility, so when people can no longer care for their birds, they know there is an option other than euthanizing or releasing them outside.
