Rocky

Rocky has been with an AGPC foster carer for almost a month now, and reading his story broke my heart, so we have offered him a forever home to join our family and flock, and as long as everything goes according to plan, we shall be collecting him on Saturday!!!

I am no stranger to the noisy world of the Amazons as I own THE LOUDEST of all the Amazon parrots, which is the beautiful Orange Winged Amazon
I have a massive soft spot for Amazon parrots, they really are wonderful birds, with fantastic personalities, they may be a little noisier than some, but that doesn’t bother me not one little bit, and as an added bonus, I live in an end terrace, so not an issue for my neighbours either

Rocky is already a very spoilt birdie!!! He has a brand new cage and a whole load of new toys on order which will be here on Thursday, and I cannot wait to set up his new home.
He will be quarantined on arrival, and will then have a trip to the vets in a few weeks time. Although he will be away from the other birds, he will still be able to hear and see them through the window, then after quarantine and clear test results, he will be moved into the parrot room along with the others

It has been said that Rocky prefers men, and that’s fine, my other Amazon prefers men too, but has learned to trust accept me as her main carer, and hopefully Rocky will learn this too.

It’s a new start for Rocky
I cannot wait to meet him and bring him home

Last week I collected a blue front Amazon called Rocky from a lovely lady, Rocky was her husbands bird who sadly passed away a year and a half ago.

Rocky is 16 years old and believed to me male (i think he is too),he is quite a large bird and he was very bonded with her husband and since they lost him they haven’t been able to get close to him, they use to have a African grey too who sadly passed away just after he did , due to a broken heart it is believed and Rocky has also missed her, so has been pretty moody and down, he loved the dog and they use to sing together,

She wanted Rocky to be happy and asked for us to rehome him.

Rocky has settled in well and has said Hello a few times and loves to be out of his cage.

Here are a few photos of him and I will keep you posted with how he is getting on…
