Testimonial From Sammi’s Old Owners

Testimonial From Sammi's Old Owners

We can’t thank Paula & Rick enough for helping us rehome Sammi!

He came to us after a very dear friend of ours died suddenly. Sammi was over 30 years old, and quite withdrawn. He was due to be sold off to the highest bidder essentially, and had been unfairly labelled as a vicious and unfriendly bird.

When we got him home, we found him to be inquisitive and playful…once he’d got over his initial waryness, he ventured out of his cage and onto our kitchen worktop…which we quickly turned into a play area for him with cardboard boxes and toys. He loved Graeme, my hubby, and would happily step up for him and have a cuddle. We found he was much more uncomfortable around women, and wondered if he’d perhaps had some bad experiences.

Several months after our initial ‘rehabilitation’, and also after falling in love with Sammi as a great character, we had to make the heartbreaking decision to rehome him. We have a little dog and the pair of them used to find great amusement in chasing around after each other! We also have a busy lifestyle and felt that, now Sammi was enjoying human company…it was unfair of us to leave him for long periods during the day. Sammi also meant so much to us because of the loss of our friend.

We found the AGPC on the web and contacted Paula who reassured us that they would be able to find just the right home for Sammi….and they were so right!

After coming over to meet him and pick him up….and putting our mind at ease with the sensitive and professional way they handled him…they rehomed him with Toria & Dil. They have kept us up to date with the amazing progress that Sammi has made with his new, loving family! He is so lucky with Toria…and she has provided him with a stable, attentive and fulfilling life…what more could a parrot ask for! Me and Hubby really look forward to checking his rehoming diary and seeing all the wonderful pictures of his home, his toys his ‘girlfriend’ Tweak and know he is in the best possible place.

So thank you very much Rick & Paula, and thank you too Toria & Dil for making Sammi’s life fantastic!

Keep up the good work!

Love Kim & Graeme
