It's Freda, a young pacific parrotlet:
Freda can be a bit nippy and flighty, but we suspect that's just because she hasn't been handled a lot recently. With frequent, daily hands-on attention, she will tame down and be a delight. 
She is very tame and has a stunning personality. She was purchased as a pet for her former owner's children. When the kids lost interest, Pearl lost her home. Now she's looking for a second chance at happiness!
These young budgies vary in age, including some that are quite young. They have not had a lot of human interaction and are thus not hand-tame, but they have very sweet personalities and it wouldn't take much to show them that humans can be trusted companions.
He was surrendered because his previous owner found him to be too boring. We think he just wasn't given the chance to show who he really is!
And Chip:
These pictures were taken as they returned to the Center.
She's really settling into life at the Center, and every day surprises us with more of her wit and intelligence.Bo, who we introduced you to here, has been adopted and is acclimating to his new life.
Before he left, we got one of his tricks on video. His former flockmate, Durante, knows how to shake hands. We figured this out when she would extend her foot and ask "shake?" Since they knew many of the same tricks, one of our volunteers wanted to see if Bo knew how to shake.
With his characteristic charm and intelligence, he had his own idea of what that meant:
We really miss him, but are very happy he's enjoying the good life!
Michael is extremely loud -- one of the loudest birds we've had at the Center. He loves to be the center of attention and will nip your hand to bring your attention back to him if he's perched on you and your attention wanders.
Michael needs a fun-loving home that will join in on his boisterous moments. He's really quite incredible! 
And snuggling on the shoulder of one of her favorite volunteers:
Sammy is a bit cage aggressive, but will step up on a towel to come out of his cage. Once out, he's a delight! He loves perching on people and getting his head scratched.
Jenday conures have a loud call, and therefore we cannot adopt him to anyone living in an apartment. If you'd like to meet Sammy, please stop by!
He's received a clean bill of health from our vet. His feathers are a little ragged, but we believe that once he goes through a molt, that will improve. We suspect that someone who would dump him at a zoo probably wasn't feeding him the best diet.
He is wildcaught, and we suspect that he is around 30 years old, given his condition. He's got at least 20 years of good life ahead of him!
He is very sweet and craves human attention. He'll do anything he can to get you to pet his head! He is still a little leery coming out of his cage, but we suspect that will disappear as he gets used to the routine.
If you'd like to meet Sawyer, please stop by. After the turmoil he's been through, we want to find him a stable, permanent, forever home.
Since coming to CARE, Silkie's improved conditions have had the result of her producing three eggs over a 15 day period, so we're taking her in to the vet for a health check-up. Our thinking right now is that she might do better in a home with no male birds.
They surrendered the babies to CARE and are taking steps to make sure that their lovebirds do not reproduce again, contributing to the parrot overpopulation problem.
As previously reported, Polly has very strong preferences about who she likes and who she doesn't! We are looking for someone who makes an instant connection with her -- someone she likes immediately. She is very happy at CARE as she loves one of the volunteers who is at the Center on a daily basis, but she will be even happier once she has a home she can call her own.
She is quite vocal; though she does talk a little bit, she is more likely to make noises. Here, she's imitating some clicking sounds:
