Meet Phillip and McGregor

Meet Phillip (top, on the food dish) and McGregor (bottom, on the perch); two juvenile male quaker parakeets.They were hanging out on the stand together, so we're writing about them in the same entry (how could we not, with those adorable pictures!); however, they came from separate homes and will be adopted into separate homes.

Phillip is 4 years old. He was handled quite a bit and loved for the first three years of his life. During the past year, he spent the vast majority of his time in his cage, coming out only about once a week, according to his previous owners. Why? Because they had a baby and no longer had time for him.
McGregor is 6 years old. He was very well loved, but was surrendered to us when his owner was diagnosed with a very serious illness and was no longer able to keep him.
Phillip and McGregor are both very sweet birds and will thrive in the right environment. They are some of the many examples of birds who are given up not for any behavior problems, but because of lifestyle changes their owners faced. We know they will bring joy to the family that's willing to give them the chance!

If you've been thinking about adding a quaker to your house, now may be the time! We currently have 4 up for adoption.
