New Pictures of our Adoptive Birds

Listening to all the birds talking, singing and jabbering away in the bird room is like listening to an orchestra. I am familiar with all their individual voices and sounds and what they are responding to or what they are doing while talking or squawking or singing. Then I add a new bird to the bird room and it is like having a new radio station. The newer birds sound so different. Even when one will try to imitate another, they can't fool me. I know that it is a new bird trying to fit into the bird scene here at the Hope Ranch Animal Rescue bird division.

 

Like any animal, it takes birds a while to adjust to their new situation. Especially when I get birds that have been stressed or traumatized. Then it can take a very long time. But having a routine and consistency, they get comfortable and adjust to the new environment.

Here are some pictures of some new additions. Some are looking for homes, some are here temporarily. A couple of the different cockatoos are missing their body feathers, but with lots of attention  so they feel secure again, they will let their feathers grow back. Only some that have been plucking themselves for so long have turned it into a habit like biting your nails, then just down will grow back in place like with Molly, my macaw.
