Meet Rocky

Meet Rocky, a white-spectacled amazon. Rocky is about 21 years old. He was fed a diet of wild finch seed; we are shocked he's still alive. Now that he's on a good diet, he will look like a completely different bird after he molts.Rocky was owned by an elderly couple. When the woman died, her husband took Rocky and Dinky (you'll meet him tomorrow) to a vet's office. He gave them an ultimatum: take the birds, or he'd take them home and kill them. The vet took the birds in, and they made their way to us.

Rocky has an incredibly sweet temperament, though he is still recovering from his ordeal, including years of malnutrition. We suspect he may show a more feisty personality once he's in good health.

As always, please stop by if you'd like to meet Rocky.
