Meet Zoe

Meet Zoe, an umbrella cockatoo who is approximately 12 years old. We're not sure if Zoe is male or female, but I'm going to use female pronouns as that's what I think of when I hear the name!

Zoe is tame and handleable. As you can see, she has some feather destructive behavior, which is not uncommon in captive cockatoos.Zoe had been a much-loved member of the family. She was surrendered because her owners added a child to their house. Zoe had not shown any signs of aggression to this new addition, but her owners didn't want to take any chances.
We currently have a lot of cockatoos up for adoption; so many in fact that we have a waiting list for cockatoo surrenders until some get adopted, opening up some space. There may never be a better time to add a rescue too to your house, as we have so many that we can work with you to find one that will fir into your house.
Please stop by if you'd like to meet Zoe! She lost her home not due to any behavior problems, but due to changes in her owners' life circumstances.
