Alumni update: Piper and Bopper

These two birds (can you see them both?) were adopted from CARE several years ago and now reside with one of our dedicated volunteers.
Bopper, the red-lored amazon that is most prominent in this picture, was surrendered in 2004, on the hectic day that we moved to our new location in Hubertus.

She is missing many of her feathers and has a shortened lifespan due to the severe nicotine poisoning she endured in her previous home. However, she has a fantastic personality and keeps her owner laughing with various beeping and ringing sounds.

Piper is the quaker on Bopper's left (he's hard to see!) They became friends after meeting at their new house. All of their interactions are supervised due to their size difference!

On a separate note, CARE is full of adoptable parrots. Click here to see our list on petfinder. In particular, we have many doves, which can make great pets. We'll highlight some of them in an upcoming entry.

If you've been thinking about adding a parrot to your family, now might be the perfect time! We can work with you to find the right companion for your home.
