Hi Jen and welcome to the board!

That's quite the flock you have and thank god there are people like you that are willing and able to run a rescue out of their homes. I'll be sure to take a look at your site when I have a few minutes.

Thanks guys for the compliments on my site I work hard on it.

Many of the parrots are abuse cases I would say about 65% of them. I specialize in Plucking/Mutilation behaviors so many other rescues send those birds to me to "fix". Some are "damaged beyond repair" and they will stay in the sanctuary or will be adopted out if some special amazing family comes along which has happened.

It takes months and sometimes years to train, and gain the trust of a severely abused bird. I have a Umbrella (Marie) that was abused beyond words and I have had her for over a year and she is still very very neurotic and still "damaged" she will stay here for as long as she lives so she can have a chance at a happy life.

I also have 2 outdoor aviaries and that really helps with the behaviors!
