Some of our residents’ stories

  • A close-up image of a weiro, with crusty, misaligned and overgrown beak, and puffy eyes, looking at the camera from a wooden transport box

    Shroomy

    A big journey for a small, determined bird.

  • Sunny, a male budgie, sitting on a branch facing the camera. He has a horrible case of mites, covering around his eyes, cere and beak; his chest is largely bare of feathers, his wing feathers are ratty and unhealthy, and his nails are crooked.

    Sunny

    One of the worst cases of (possible) neglect we’ve seen.

  • Two kakariki parrots sitting next to each other on a branch, the left one facing the camera side-on, the right one facing away, half cut off in the image. This is their first time in aviary and sunlight and they look a little nervous.

    Chilli & Pepper

    From a dark room, these two cheeky kakarikis are a bundle of light.

  • Wally, a male plumhead parrot, sitting on a branch quite close to the camera, facing the camera with head side-on. He has wide eyes, a striking purple head, and some bare patches poking through on his chest. He's small for a plumhead.

    Wally

    The shy, handsome male plumhead parrot who captured hearts around the world.

  • Bounty, a 10 or so week old budgie, mostly white with a little blue, and dark stripes on her head with clipped wings, sitting on a finger slightly side-on to the camera, head turned more towards the camera. This was her Gumtree image.

    Bounty

    Sold through a car window.

  • Buddy

    Saved by a pet shop from a bad breeder.

  • Winterberry

    Sold too young and bullied by a cage mate.
