They were surrendered because of incompatibility. They lived in a large flight with many different birds. These two troublemakers picked on the other birds and each other. In order to restore peace, their owner thought it best that they find new homes.
Being from an aviary environment, they did not have names; we've named them Bob and Lucy, but they certainly don't know their names; as such, their new owner can easily rename them.
Here's Lucy:
If you look closely, you can see a little bit of dried blood on her feet. You can thank Bob for that. When their previous owner was bringing them to us to surrender, they were placed in the same small box as a carrier. Even birds that get along do not do well in such a tiny environment, so you can imagine what it was like for these two that were incompatible anyway!
Luckily, no permanent damage was done, and we're making sure that Bob can never harm her again.
Here's Bob:
Despite what it may sound like from above, he is not a monster! He is a very charming fellow; he just needs to be an only parrotlet.
These two lived in an aviary environment, which means they were not let out and handled. We are working on that. Right now, they are a bit flighty, but that will improve as they get used to coming out more. You can see Bob perched nicely in this volunteer's hand.
In the right home, with loving and patient owners, they will blossom.
Please stop by or e-mail if you're interested in Bob or Lucy. They are looking forward to completing their separation into new homes!
