Zazoo is a 20 year old male Blue and Gold. He has some physical issues that will require a calm, patient home. He cannot fly, has poor balance, and sometimes suffers seizures. The vet believed they are stress induced. Zazoo is super hyper and loves to give everyone a big “HELLO!” as they walk by. He loves to talk to kids but is not safe to be out with them. Zazoo can step on a stick for transport, he is no longer comfortable stepping onto an arm without biting very hard. He was previously very handleable but his seizures make him more aggressive. They’re controlled well and its been a few years since he’s even had one.

TC is a female Harlequin hybrid of unknown age. She enjoys being with people, but will need a handicapped accessible living space due to disabled feet and legs. She will need a careful and dedicated keeper. TC is very noisy, even for a macaw, loves to greet her favorite people, and is beautiful to look at.

Riley is a female Calico hybrid. She is a big active bird that needs a keeper who wants to spend time together, and knows how to interact with large macaws. She shows a strong tendency to bond with one person and reject others.... She prefers men and will step on a stick or arm for someone she TRUSTS. Riley requires large macaw experience and plenty of patience and understanding. Since losing her long term mate, she has become more open to interacting with people. Riley WILL attack other birds if they get too close, so she’d do much better as an only bird or given plenty of space from othrs.

Sunshine is a senior male Scarlet Macaw, likely at least 50 years old. He is timid at first but begins to show his personality in time. He’s goofy, likes to hang like a bat from his cage, make all kinds of silly noises at you, and can step on a stick for handling or transport. Upon intake, Sunshine was discovered to have an old healed femur fracture, cataracts in both eyes, arthritis in his wings, and one pinioned wing (poorly done). His personality is coming out now and we can see he can be a nicer bird with proper care and handling. Sunshine is more independent, preferring to be talked to but not handled, though he CAN be handled in the right situation and when he is comfortable with it. He will step on a stick as well, so transporting him is not a problem. He will want lots of reassurance due to his waning vision and has a strong startle reflex. He ALWAYS has one eye on you. Sunshine seems to like the company of other birds like him, but not directly interacting. Sunshine is now cleared for adoption after some antifungals for a bout of Aspergillosis. He will still need somebody medically savvy (or at least experience with seniors) and with plenty of patience. We don’t think he will ever be a “friendly” bird per se, but he will be a great companion nonetheless.

Marley is an 11 year old male Military. He is very picky about women and aggressive towards all men. He doesn’t play well with other birds. When he finds a woman he likes, he is flirtatious and active.

Cobar is a male of unknown age Blue and Gold. He is big, strong, and has always been unhandleable. He is becoming more of a people bird and enjoys being talked to. In the right environment, he can step up on his own terms (stick first, arm second) but is content to sit back and watch the world.

Fred is a 30-ish year old male Blue and Gold. He is an ex-breeder, totally untame, but strong and active. He will need a large cage and a person to show him space, patience, and trust. He has a minor leaking airsac, which doesn’t do any serious harm. He seems to enjoy being talked to and he will make sweet noises back.

Bubba and Rocco are a male Blue and Gold pair who both lost their long-time partners and bonded together. Bubba is 27ish, and Rocco is 18. They are big, loud, boisterous, and active. They'll make a great pair for someone with room for their hilarious play and a desire to watch them act like macaws. Rocco can be handled, WITH CARE but are happy left on their own. Luckily, they are both stick tame and can be transferred to different perches.

Rocky and Zazu are male Ruby hybrids. Rocky is 34, and Zazu is 16. These guys will bite to defend their cage, their food dishes, or just out of excitement. They are not for the timid or inexperienced. This pair is spectacular, but will need a lot of room and a careful handling. Both have histories of aggression toward other macaws, and will need a home where they can be physically kept separate from other birds.

Marley and Durango are two aggressive Blue and Gold macaws that need a lot of space to be wild birds. Marley is 17, while Durango is 22. Marley has a tendency to lay eggs, but they get a calcium supplement during that time and careful monitoring. These guys will never want to be handled.

Wily is a 31 year old male Calico hybrid macaw. He is totally gorgeous, and bonds to only a single person. He only likes women, and will be aggressive towards males. He will step on a stick but is happy to be a grumpy bird with plenty of space to play.

Bugsy is a 22 year old male blue and gold macaw. He is hyper and goofy, loving to sing to himself. He prefers the company of birds to humans despite being single now. He can be opinionated and nippy, reserved, and obsessive. Bugsy will step on a stick for transporting, though it may take more training for him to be totally comfortable. He will step on an arm on his own terms ONLY and has only stepped up for men. He’d be happiest in a home with other birds to entertain him.
