I just happened on your sight. I have just started my own rescue group in MN. I call it Parrot Adoption Education Program. I would love to get any advice on avoiding any pitfalls you can think of. I have been rescuing birds for 2 years, & it has been the most heart wrenching & heart warming thing I have ever done, that's why I'm going full time! God Bless you & your work!

Hi Nancy, my name is Jim and my youngest daughter Melissa. I stumbled on your web site a few days ago and happy I did. I was lucky to see someone having the dedication to rescue and care for unwanted birds. We live in the Woodbridge area and would like to visit you and possibly help in some way. I have some experience with parrots when I was younger. I adopted two cockatiels last year to see if my girls and myself had the time and love to care of them. I want to adopt a young African Gray. For 10 years I raised my double-yellow head parrot named Baby. I am looking forward to enjoying the love and happiness again. Jim, Jamie and Melissa I hope we can come to visit. thank you, Jim and Melissa Email jimkoger@aol.com

Nancy keep upthe good work you are doing with the birds! I have one of your birds at home, "Sunny". He brings me lots of joy. He does not talk much yet but many birds don't talk at all. He has been dancing, he loves music and tries to sing but I just don't understand. He loves to kiss and be kissed, he is just wonderful! I am still looking for an african gray at this time. Nancy keep up the good work and may god bless your kindness! Carmen

Came across your site while looking for info on Jenday Conures. We have one that has lost a lot of her feathers. She doesn't seem stressed and gets lots of attention. Maybe someone who reads this can help. Your site is wonderful. I have spent the last hour just reading everything. You are doing a wonderful job. We also have a canary and cockatiel and would love to have more, but alas no room. Keep up the good work.

Tonight we were given for free, a patagonian conure...His name is Mickey McFly...He seems like he is a real sweetie pie...our friends had him for only a month, but their mom had him for 6 months. The previous owners, were not very nice to Mickey...our friends thought he was kind of abused...he loves to be scratched, and eats everything except salt and avocados. We used to have a myna bird, but have never had any other talking birds. Any info would be greatly appreciated... thanks...

For anyone who has the pleasure of owning a Patagonian Conure, please visit my webpage for info & pics. As of Dec 00 our Patagonian, named Rainbow, is 7 months old. He bonded strongest with me and we "had this biting problem" earlier. I have that experience documented with the right & wrong ways to discipline a parrot. I learned alot about the parrot society and have the info on my page. At 7 months I have a real sweetheart now and love this Conure!

We adopeted our Goffin's Cockatoo from Nancy in May. We visited him a few times to get comfortable with him and him with us. Nancy and her family are so welcoming and pleasant. Nancy devotes all of her time to her birds and it really shows. Beep has now been with us for 6 months and has grown back all of the feathers he was missing when he came to us. He's a happy, healthy, headstrong bird! I urge anyone who is looking to open your heart to a bird to try Nancy's Parrot Sanctuary. Nancy is willing to answer any question that you have because she cares deeply for our birds. Thank you, Nancy!

I inherited a padegonian conure, as I raise budgies, and grass keets. Some cocketeil joined the aviary, when they were in need of a home and love. The conure is bigger than I would prefer, as I have a small apartment. I was going to give him back to the people that sold him to the friend that can't keep him (his wife has asthma,) but I'm falling in love with him! He was a plucker, due to stress. I've had him for a week now, and his feathers have already started coming back in. Well, it looks like I now have a patagonian conure now. I didn't know much about conure's, but with the web, I have a pretty good idea about them now. I have to find out more about this particular bird. It's strange living in an apartment, when I've been on a ranch for so long. I don't "think apartment"! I just wanted to let you know how much your work means to people. I see so many abused birds, owned by people that just don't know any better. As I don't have money to send, I'm sending my good wishes and thanks for your work. Kitty

We had a Muluccan for 5 years & recently have gone through a major schedule change in our lives.(We both work the same schedule now & she is alone during the better part of the day.) She started pulling out her feathers several months ago. I tried everything - but finally decided she needed to go to a loving home where someone was there all the time. These people also have a Blue & Gold Macaw. Our Peaches has been with family when we went on vacations, so she probably thinks that's what has happened now. I think she is in a much better environment, although we gave her as much attention as we could when we were home. I am confident the couple she is with will give her lots of TLC. Their only concern was some kind of systemic problem, but she has gone from having her feathers grow almost back in, to pulling them out again when she does not get the attention she wants, so I don't think it is a health problem. Various bird authorities have told me it's a bad habit or she wants to mate. If I kept her till her feathers grew back in, that probably would take forever, since she is so unpredictible with our schedule. She is a sweetie, calls our dog Coco (the people that took her also have a dog named Coco!) and whistles the Andy of Mayberry song. Any comments are appreciated.

Nancy Weaver's Sanctuary is more than a politically correct website that gives out free parrots. This is the last hope and only chance of surival for unwanted and abused parrots. If anything ever happens to me, Nancy's Santuary would be the only place my flock would go, including my A.parvipes pair. Nancy has given so much, beside her home & every cent the family ever saved, she has given her heart , her whole life, every waking moment for Nancy is filled with love for her temporary charges. I met Nancy in person on Easter of 99, the birds were loved, the cages large and spotless, the diet was top shelf . Nancy daughter is the most amazing bird handler I have ever seen, she can take any bird of of it's cage and kiss it silly. Nancy and her family really loves and care about ALL THE PARROTS, that entered her facility. I would highly recomend placement for all those considering the option. I would also recommend any donations you could spare, because Nancy takes better care of her birds, before her own personal needs.

I too adopted a bird from Nancy (Cockatiel, who I named Oliver). Everyday I live with the reminder that people can be cruel but there are people like Nancy who represent the other side. I will support Nancy with as much as I can and also urge others too. Your donations are used to support the birds who are there. I wouldn't have my little bird Oliver if she hadn't been there to intervene. Every bit counts.

I adopted my precious Pepper (CAG) and cockatiels, Tommy and Alisha, from Nancy and try to support Nancy's work as much as my budget permits. I urge EVERYONE to make a contribution as it will go to a very worthy cause. Birds under Nancy's care receive love, attention, and rehabilitation. But it all costs money and if you believe in this cause, you have to support it. It is a comfort to know that there is a place like Nancy's for birds who would otherwise have nowhere else to go. She is serious and passionate about her work and the birds respond to her. Nancy also educates individuals and the general public about parrot care. I feel very fortunate in having adopted my companion birds at Nancy's as they are wonderful.

I have a Senegal Parrot. I purchased him in a pet shop when he was just 6 months old about 3 years ago. We got along wonderfully until one day it decided it wanted to be my husband's bird. My husband just really doesn't want a bird. I am the bird nut, but it bites me and really hurts. We have talked to several experts and have been told every thing from puberty to don't let me husband feed him. We have tried for months, but my bloody finger from just cleaning the cage is the last straw. We have taken excellent care of this bird. He has a play gym with cob and a big cage that we keep clean and provide top quality feed and fresh water 2x per day. I can e-mail a photo if needed. Could you help me find a new home for it? Maybe he just likes men. He says many things like; pretty bird, good boy, and whistles. He used to lay on my hand on his back and throw his head back to "play dead". He can be very charming if he likes you. PLMK Lori

Nancy has be caring for my macaw for the past 2years while I'm studying veterinary medicine in Dublin. She has done a wonderful job with him and has inspired me to go into rehabilation of birds (and wildlife) when I'm finished with my studies. Hopefully I'll be reunited with my beloved bird in a year!

Hi - Heard about you from a couple of ads and an article in BirdTalk (when I was still subscribing). After reading all items in this guestbook, I do wish you well. I have a parakeet & cockatoo (Goffin, I think). They were "found" birds, from the animal warden at the Township where I work. I just lost a cockatiel (also "found") and do miss her. The cockatoo is a screamer ! Had him/her about 5 yrs now & my husband has been ready to strangle him since, because of the screaming. I'm not too ready to give him up, but if I ever do, I know I'll be calling you to either have him/her adopted into a GOOD home, or you might be stuck with him/her for the rest of both your lives !. Good luck to you in the future.

I found your site while looking at other "Parrot" sites. You have a beautiful site. I like the fact that you "screen" everyone that wants a "bird" from you, whether it be an addoption or for breeding. If more people did that then there would be a lot less "basement" birds and pet around.

I adopted my two beloved tiels, Tommy & Alisha from Nancy about 1 1/2 months ago. I can attest to the incredible environment she provides for a staggering number of birds. I toured the sanctuary and was struck by the cleanliness of the bird cages and care and concern with which they are treated. They get the very best food, have lots of toys, and get individual attention. Nancy sat down with me and taught me how to clip wings, how and what to feed my birds, how to handle them, what to expect, etc. If y ou have the ability to make a donation, do--it will go towards a most worthy cause. You have to see this place to believe it. It is that good.

Thank goodness there are people like you who rescue these birds. The general public just doesn't understand how special parrots are. They cannot just be left alone like dogs and cats can be. They need love, attention, and a special environment. I have had parrots for over 25 years and love them dearly. Again, thank you for your good work.

I have been surfing in an attempt to find a rescue org. called simply "The Sanctuary" in CA, but chanced upon your Website and so wandered in. I have two parrots whom I love dearlt, both rescue birds from S. FL., where we lived for 12 years. Miss it! But I am always happy to see that there are people everywhere who love these creatures and provide a safe haven for them. Meeper Beeper, named after finch friends,is a peach-front conure who was the runt of a clutch, whom the breeder did not want. Yes, she's "slow", but we love her. She laid her first eggs last December at 8 1/2 years old! Not fertile, of course, and gave me a run for the (vet) money because she was egg-bound for a while. Nike, named after the Greek Winged Goddess of Victory, was a hit-by-car victim in a feral flock of canary-winged parakeets in S. FL. I did wildlife rehab at the time, with a soft spot for "non-native" spp., so I took her in and she is a SWEETHEART. That was about seven years ago. All the other parrots who came in were adopted out to either breeders or sanctuary homes or as pets, depending on their personalities. The question of captive breeding is always a question, but one doesn't just stop a macaw from laying eggs and becoming unmanageable as a "pet." Tough place, but we humans put ourselves there, eh? I enjoyed the Website, happy to see a N. Am. bird sanctuary, but could not get pictures of your birds for adoption. Not that I am looking for more birds (no more room or time---we also have rescue dogs, cats and bunnies!) But just to see their beautiful faces.

I HAVE A DOUBLE YELLOW HEADED AMAZON (MR.PMS)15YRS OLD AND HAVE HAD HIM SINCE 6 MONTHS OF AGE. THIS YEAR I BOUGHT A VERY YOUNG UMBRELLA COCKATOO HAVING THE PLEASURE OF HAND FEEDING. THE BONDING IS SO GOOD THAT I WISH THIS WAS POSSIBLE WITH MY AMAZON.

It is so wonderful to have people in this world such as yourselves to show so much love and compassion for our feathered companions. There should NEVER be a bird, or any animal, who is in an enviroment where it is not loved, not wanted, or not needed. THANK YOU!!

I have read about your sanctuary in Birdtalk and it is a wonderful thing to have people such as yourself care so much about our feathered companions. We don't have one in connecticut and this is something I am looking into. No bird should ever be in an enviroment where it is not wanted, loved, or needed.

I think what nancy is doing is one of the greatest things anyone can do for these wonderfull creatures. I have been a bird fancier all my life and have had birds most of it too. I have three Quakers that i have had for five years and they are the sweetest things ive ever came across. I am looking to adopt a GOFFIN cockatoo or a SCARLET macaw. SO IF YOU FIND ONE LET ME KNOW.

How gratifying to rescue birds. Also heart breaking to know how many unfit bird owners there are. I have been trying to gain the trust of a Nanday Conure that has had multiple owners. The big problem is he never trusted me from the start. To those he initially goes to and allows to pet him, he ultimately turns on them, sometimes in a week, sometimes longer. He is good in that he will return to his cage when asked. He is allowed freedom all day in the bird room where he climbs on my 4 cockatiel's & moluccan cockatoo's cages. He sees me holding, petting and loving them but attacks me when ever he can. I tried covering my hand for protection & encouraging him to step up but all he does is try to find a way to bit me. Very sad for him as he seems to want the attention. He is not aggresstive to the cockatiels & they don't seem to mind when he goes in their cages to "steal' their nutriberries. Do you think there is any hope?

Great Great Great.Ia the main thing to say about what you are doing. If any one has any tips on how to gain the trust of a 10 yr old perhaps older Conure please let me know. I recently took him in. Have another Conure which is a Nanday and a Umbrella Cockatoo and they have been nothing but love sponges in contrast to the new bird.I know it will take time for him but I would like to make the transition as easy as possible for him. So any tips would deeply be appreciated

I am thrilled to know you are out there and the birds have such a wonderful place to go when their owners either can no longer care for them or just simply get tired of having them around. As for myself I can't imagine that ever happening. I am only sorry you won't consider someone outside of NJ. I currently have a very healthly, happy Grey but recently lost my Blue and Gold to cancer and I am still not over her loss. My house is a little cleaner but I would rather have the extra feathers and seed i n the floor to vacuum than to not having her around. Good Luck finding wonderful homes for the greatest pets in the world.

I have a Mulocan Cockatoo who is very mean and so far untrainable. I bought him from someone who had him for 4yrs. Who also bought him from someone who had him for a short time. He was sold because he wouldn't talk or learn what was expected of him. I've had him 3yrs. and it is very hard to gain his trust. He won't come out of his cage, and tries to bite me. He screams all the time. I thought just loving him would take him out of his shell but it hasn't. Maybe it's time to find someone who really knows what they are doing. Can anyone give me some tips or help?

Hi. I've recently developed an interest in parrots and would like to adopt a macaw, preferrably a green wing. I'm open to other birds, but definitely want a large bird. I've got no problem with coming to seminars and learning all I can about owning one. I'm confident that I can provide a loving home for one of your birds. I've got a great big macaw sized cage waiting to be filled. Thanks.

What a wonderful job you do. I too have done some rescue work. My most recent is Sissy a 20 yr old Goffins cockatoo. She was locked in here cage for the past 12 years. Very sad! In the past 2 months now she is doing beautifully. We enjoy daily preening and waving bye bye to each other. She is an inspiration. I am currently looking for another parrot. Upon lookin at the pet stores I am reminded of how former pet birds are sold to the pets stores after the NEWNESS wears off and resold to people also lacki ng knowledge and become worse off. Though I wish I could save them all I can not. Nancy you are on the right path and that is education education education!!! I respect you for all you do for our feathered friends. When My business starts up you can count on a donation! A short note: I have adopted to my home a mitred conure, red masked conure, sun conure and a Nanday. One Sulfer crested cockatoo and a Goffins who is now my sweetie, 3 cockatiels who are now a part of my family and more parakeets and finch es than I can remember. All have found loving homes and those that are here now are here to stay. Keep up the great work!

Febreze, a new product that is used to get odors out of fabrics, has been causing deaths and illness in dogs, cats and birds. There have been multiple instances reported in the past few weeks of dogs, cats and birds dying after Febreze was used anywhere near them. Some have only gotten very ill, and some have died. Several birds have died as well. Febreze contains zinc chloride, which is the culprit. If you have recently sprayed your animals area with this product, please wash it or replace it until you get all of the Febreze out. Please pass the word along to your friends so we can prevent further deaths. This was a notice from the Veterinary Emergency Center in Needham, MA.

I really enjoied your page. We have EIGHT parrots from a Sun Conure all the way to a Blue and Gold Macaw. We dearly love them all. Keep up your good work. I do have a question. We recently were asked to provide a good home for an Umbrella Cockatoo who is 4.5 years old. All was well in our realm until this guy came along. He is a bully and attacks the others. We have a dedicated room for our birds and they do NOT live in cages. I have already had to have the beak reconstructed on the Sun Conure by the wonderful Dr. Nemetz (The best Bird VET in this part of the known Universe). We now keep Hooter Magoo (the Cockatoo) in a cage. He hates me, but loves Ke lley (my wife). Any thoughts??????? Thanks again!! Don Wise

I am a parrot owner myself and love them all very dearly. I would also always do anything in my power to help birds in need. I am looking for any pen-pal (aged 14-15)who can exchange mails with me on a regular basis. They must also love birds very much. And does anyone know of a bird sanctuary in South Africa?

My husband bought a Cherry-Headed Conure for me for Christmas last year. He purchased this 4 month old little ball of feathers on the side of the road. He was instantly part of the family. We have two boys, a border collie dog and Rico. Rico is our first bird. I'm amazed at his intelligence. He spends his days on my shoulder, where he can tease the dog at will. I had no idea how to take care of a bird or even what to feed him, so I got a list of do's and don'ts on the internet and filled the rest in wit h some fresh fruits and veggies. I found that he requires a lot of attention and that he responds better to this attention when he is not cooped up in a cage. Basically, his cage is his bedroom. I don't spend my entire day in my bedroom, would you? Yes, he's been known to bite, but that's because he doesn't like everyone he meets. I warn everyone when they come into my house (he usually flies to greet them and then decides whether he likes them or not). Over the summer we will be moving to southern NJ and I'm concerned about heat in the house. I read somewhere that parrots will die if your house heat is too dry (remember, Rico is used to 80-90% humidity). Any info you can send me would be great. I would like to visit your sanctuary when I get settled in.

Hi Nancy! I love your web site. I have a double yellow head parrot, Sinbad, and a cockatiel, Holmes. They were both given to me after several years of isolation and mistreatment. I would appreciate any information about their diet and care and how to bring them out of their shell. I would also be interested in companions for both of them. Any input appreciated. Thanks, Carolyn
