Resident Profile: Sasha (Mitred Conure) & Kellie (White-Eyed Conure)

Visitors to our shelter may recognize Kellie (left) and Sasha (right). These teenagers are very entertaining! When Sasha was released to us about 5 years ago, we didn't think he'd make it through the end of the month. He was in horrible shape, having spent the majority of his captive life in a cage that was so small he couldn't turn around. We improved his diet & environment, and have been rewarded with an entertaining fellow! Sasha prefers birds to people, and found his soulmate in Kellie a few years ago. Both are males. Kellie is tame, but prefers spending his days with Sasha.

These guys have a zest for life! When they see someone they like pass their cage, they run to the front of their cage and begin begging for attention. They love to play peek-a-boo with visitors. They absolutely love destroying egg cartons and soda boxes.

In the following video, a volunteer was trying to capture their happy reaction to egg carton destruction. However, once they realized they were being watched, they came over and started showing off for the camera!
