Hello, my name is Cookie, I'm a ringneck parakeet.

I am two years old. I am not used to being handled and I do not like it at all. I may or may not eventually make friends with a man, but I cant stand women, children or most other birds. I will come in and out of my cage on my own accord if my cage top is left open all day. However I am also very cage territorial and do not like the safehouse lady cleaning my cage out. I will take food from peoples fingers, but watch out, because I will try to get your fingers first. My safehouse dad thinks I would really be better in an aviary with other ringnecks, but he says you would need to watch me very carefully as I have shown aggression to the other birds here, and I will try and bite them at every opportunity. There are also lots of seagulls round here and I do a mean impression of them screeching.

I am currently in Whitby, and I do have my own cage.

Hello there, I am a Pale Headed Rosella and I go by the name of Cookie, (not that I even really know my name).

At present I am living in a cage in my safehouse and although it doesn't really bother me, my safehouse mum thinks I'm the kind of bird that may be better suited to life in an aviary. I do like to come out of my cage and fly around, but I am difficult to get back in my cage and this is stressful for both me and my safehouse. I do not step up and will just fly off when you come near me. I am not really interested in close human contact so for that reason maybe I would be better off with my own kind in an aviary where I can fly around to my hearts’ content. I have not had much contact with other birds though so perhaps you could introduce me gradually and keep a close eye on me to begin with. Do you think you have the home for me and think I could be just the bird for you?... Then what are you waiting for?

I am currently in Newton Abbot, Devon.

Hi there! We are Johnny and Lexi and we are simply adorable Love birds.

We are only babies of about 7 months. We are believed to be a pair (one male and one female) but no one really knows and you can't tell us apart anyway, so we don't see that it matters. We are completely wrapped up in each other and as such are not really interested in you humans. We are not overly afraid of you - we will let you put your hands in the cage to clean us out and feed and water us, and we don't make too much fuss. If you get too close to us we will simply back away - we are not aggressive. Our safehouse parents are working to try and get us to take food from them but with little success. We did nibble on a bit of millet that they held for us though - we thought we were very brave! We are quite noisy - we chitter chatter first thing in the morning and on and off all day, but are quiet at night time. We don't screech but we are quite loud for little birds. We are very curious, we like to watch what you are doing when you are moving around our cage, and we will listen to you when you talk to us. We don't do the stepping up thing, not even on a perch, and because of this we do not come out of our cage. It is for this reason that we would prefer an aviary set up; either outdoors, or perhaps in a large indoor aviary style cage so that we have room to fly and stretch our wings. We are young and it is possible that with a lot of effort and patience we may become 'manageable' to an extent that we could perhaps be let out indoors, and either return to our cage of our own accord or maybe we could be taught to step up. However we really don't want a life confined to a cage, and if returning us to the cage is going to stress us out then we will need an aviary big enough to fly in. So please only foster us if you can give us an aviary style home.
 
We are currently in Greenlaw, South East Scotland.
 

Hello, my name is Buster and I live with my best friend Sparky. We are both males looking for a loving forever home.

I am 18 months old and Sparky is 4 years. He is more timid than me but I am slowly teaching him you humans are nice! We are not used to being handled but do like to have you around. I enjoy my free time out in the room with you but Sparky is a bit of a wimp and doesn't like coming out of the door (he will take some persuasion!). I will allow you to stroke my belly/chest when I have learnt to trust you so you may be able to handle me one day. We are not too noisy, we have our morning chatter telling each other about our dreams, and we will have the odd conversation during the day, and we have a chatter before we go to bed sharing our secrets! Otherwise we tend to stay quiet. We are happy to amuse ourselves when you go out to work, so long as you leave the radio on for us. We are good with kids and cats, not sure about dogs yet but nothing has fazed us yet, so if you slowly introduce us to them I am sure we will be fine. I can’t help wonder if we would be better suited to an aviary where we can mix with our own kind?

We are currently in Wiltshire and we have a very nice cage in which we currently live.
