Birds available for adoption
OSCAR
Species: Sulfur Crested Cockatoo
Age: 35 years
Gender: Male
Personality: Charismatic and full of character
Adoption Fee: $66
About: Oscar, known affectionately as Ocky, is a 35-year-old male Sulphur-crested Cockatoo with a personality that is nothing short of legendary. He is being rehomed by a family who love him dearly but whose circumstances have changed, and they want to make sure he finds a home where he gets the time and attention he deserves.
Ocky is a talker of the highest order. His repertoire includes G’day, G’day mate, G’day mate how’s it going, Let me out I’m really a duck, What’s a matter you, What do you want, Thank you, Thank your mother for the rabbits, Rock and Roll give it to the chickens, and Bugger the chickens. He also burps, sneezes, laughs, blows kisses, and coos like a pigeon. He has additionally picked up a little colourful language from the neighbours, which comes as part of the package. He is, in short, an absolute entertainer.
Once he gets to know you Ocky is wonderfully friendly. He will climb you like a tree and loves a tickle under the wings and feet. He can be shy initially with new people, so patience and a calm approach will help him settle. He does have one known preference worth noting: he is not a fan of sunglasses.
Ocky is an outdoor bird who loves to dig, swing on his chains, and spin circles on his perch while announcing Rock and Roll. When it rains he hangs upside down on his cage to catch the water, and he is a big fan of the sprinkler. He eats a varied diet including wild bird seed, fresh vegetables, sunflower seeds, and corn on the cob. He also enjoys the occasional piece of dry dog biscuit, a bit of sausage, or a chop bone as a treat.
He has never had a vet check, so a health assessment on rehoming would be recommended, though he presents as a healthy and active bird with no known issues.
Ocky would suit a home that can offer him outdoor space, plenty of enrichment, and most importantly time and consistent human interaction. He has been an only bird and is used to being the centre of attention, so a home where someone is around regularly and has the patience and experience to match his big personality will help him truly settle and thrive. For the right person, Ocky will be one of the most entertaining and rewarding companions imaginable.
SQUEEK
Species: Cockatiel
Age: Unknown
Gender: Male
Personality: Gentle and shy
Adoption Fee: $44
About: Squeek is a male Cockatiel of unknown age looking for a new home following a change in circumstances. He is a gentle and quiet little bird who will do best with a patient owner who is happy to let him settle in at his own pace.
Squeek is on the shy side and can bite when he feels uncertain or uncomfortable, so a calm and understanding approach will go a long way in helping him build confidence with new people. His socialisation history is not fully known, so patience and consistency will be important in those early days of settling in.
He eats a standard diet of seed and fresh fruit, has no known health issues, and his care requirements are straightforward.
Squeek would suit an active home where someone has the time and gentleness to help him come out of his shell. He is the kind of bird who, with the right quiet encouragement, has every potential to blossom into a wonderful little companion.
JAZZ
Species: Corella
Age: Approx. 9 Years
Gender: Male
Personality: Friendly and talkative
Adoption Fee: $66
About: Jazz is an approximately nine-year-old male Short-beak Corella looking for a new home following a change in circumstances. He is a friendly and sociable bird who is comfortable with people and children, and he comes with a vocabulary to match his outgoing nature.
Jazz is a talker, which for a Corella is no surprise, and he will no doubt bring plenty of chatter and entertainment to his new home. He is good natured and approachable, making him a relatively straightforward bird for an experienced owner or someone with a good understanding of cockatoo-family birds.
He eats a standard diet of seed and fresh fruit, has no known health issues, and his care requirements are simple and uncomplicated.
Jazz would suit an active home where he has company, stimulation, and people around him to interact with. He is the kind of bird who will reward his new family with personality, conversation, and charm in equal measure.
SHADOW
Species: Cockatiel
Age: Unknown
Gender: Unknown
Personality: Shy and independent
Adoption Fee: $44
About: Shadow is a gentle grey and yellow Cockatiel looking for a patient and understanding new home following a change in circumstances. His age and sex are unknown, but what is clear is that he is a bird with his own quiet personality and plenty of potential for the right person.
Shadow is a shy and cautious bird who has not had the opportunity to be well handled or socialised in his current environment. He can hiss when people come close to his cage, spreads his wings if he feels threatened, panics during food and water changes, and will bite if he feels cornered. He is not a hands-on bird at this stage and will need someone who understands nervous bird behaviour and is willing to work slowly and patiently to build his trust over time.
He does have a sweeter side. Shadow enjoys singing and loves to watch wild birds from his cage, which is brought outside on nice days to give him that connection with the world beyond his enclosure. He previously had a cage mate who has since passed, and how he would respond to other birds is currently unknown. His diet has been primarily seed based as he has shown little interest in fruits and vegetables, though this may change as he settles into a more stimulating environment.
Shadow would suit an experienced bird owner who appreciates that some birds simply need more time, space, and quiet consistency to come out of their shell. He is not the right fit for a busy or unpredictable household, but in a calm and patient environment, Shadow has every chance to gradually build confidence and show more of who he truly is.
MYRTLE & LEMONDROP
Species: Budgies
Age: 3 years
Gender: Male & Female
Personality: Friendly & Charming (bonded pair)
Adoption Fee: $44 (for both)
About: Mr Myrtle and Mrs Lemondrop are a bonded pair of three-year-old yellow Budgerigars, with Mr Myrtle distinguished by a blue patch on his belly. They are being rehomed through no fault of their own by an owner who has clearly cared for them with great attention and dedication.
Both birds are in good health with no known issues. They have been kept indoors near a well-lit window, covered at night, and have had regular checks of their feet and beaks with nothing of concern noted. Their owner has consistently provided calcium, charcoal, and iodine supplements alongside their food, and has maintained their cage with appropriate avian treatments since 2023. While they have not had a formal vet check, they present as healthy, well-maintained little birds.
Mr Myrtle and Mrs Lemondrop eat a standard budgie seed mix supplemented with dried fruit, and their care requirements are straightforward. They are friendly birds with typical budgie charm and have been kept together as a bonded pair throughout their lives, so they must be rehomed together.
This sweet little pair would suit a home that can offer them an indoor setup with good natural light, consistent daily care, and the company of someone who appreciates the cheerful energy that a bonded pair of budgies brings to a household. They would be a lovely addition for a first-time bird owner or an experienced keeper looking to welcome a friendly, easy-going pair into their home.
COCO
Species: Cockatiel
Age: 4 years
Gender: Male
Personality: Cheeky & Affectionate
Adoption Fee: $44
About: Coco is a four-year-old male Cockatiel with yellow plumage and rosy cheeks, and a personality so big it barely fits in a bird his size. He is being rehomed purely because his owner is moving to a property that does not accept pets, and it is clear from everything shared about him that he has been deeply loved and very well cared for.
Coco is a true companion bird in every sense. Hand raised and completely at home with people, he loves nothing more than being involved in whatever his person is doing. He will ride on your shoulder through the housework, supervise the cooking, sneak a cheeky taste of whatever is on the bench, and whistle enthusiastically at the vacuum cleaner. He has a particular fondness for his own reflection and can often be found admiring himself in any shiny surface he can find, whistling a cheerful rendition of If You’re Happy and You Know It to his mirror image.
Coco is sociable with humans, children, and other birds and animals, and is not a biter. He loves head rubs, being whistled to, and having a bath under the tap when the mood takes him. He will stretch his wings with a fly around the house from time to time but mostly just wants to be wherever you are. He puts himself to bed when it gets dark and his cage door is left open during the day so he can come and go as he pleases.
His diet is predominantly seed with a feeder available in his cage at all times, supplemented by whatever he can charm out of whoever is cooking dinner. He is in good health with no known issues, and has his nails trimmed regularly as needed.
Coco is an indoor bird through and through and will not suit an outdoor or aviary setup. He needs to be part of a household where he has daily attention, affection, and interaction, and where someone is home enough to give him the company he thrives on. He would suit a quiet to moderately active home and would do best as the only bird where he can be the centre of attention, which, based on his personality, is exactly where he believes he belongs. For the right person, Coco will be an endlessly entertaining, utterly devoted little companion.
PEARL
Species: Quaker
Age: 2 years
Gender: Male
Personality: Social & Spirited
Adoption Fee: $44
About: Pearl is a two-year-old male albino Quaker Parrot with a big personality and an even bigger need for company. He is being rehomed with great reluctance by a family who clearly adore him; his bonded sister passed away suddenly and Pearl has struggled significantly with the loss, making it clear that he needs a flock environment to truly thrive.
Pearl is a social, affectionate bird who is happiest when he is part of the action. He loves being in the same room as his people, will sit contentedly in his cage with the door open, and is perfectly quiet and settled when he has company nearby. Without it, he will make his feelings known. He has recently made some lovely personality breakthroughs, including allowing head and face scritches and preening, which speaks to the trust and bond he is capable of building with the right people. He does have a selective nature and has shown some aggression toward one member of his current household, so understanding his boundaries and reading his cues will be important.
Pearl is a bright and capable little bird. He knows step up and several tricks involving rings and object manipulation, is flighted and trained to fly to specific locations during training sessions, and is working on a recall command. He does not bite but enjoys a gentle nibble, and his beak can occasionally need a trim for comfort. He tries hard at vocalising but does not yet talk clearly.
Pearl has anxiety which has historically presented as feather plucking. He has previously required a cone and pain medication to manage this, and is currently one month into a trial of Fluoxetine to address the underlying anxiety. He is also on Gabapentin and Meloxicam, which he takes readily, and CBD oil may be explored if needed. His plucking is significantly reduced when he has other birds to interact with and preen alongside, making a multi-bird household a strong priority for his wellbeing. A household with other Quakers would be ideal.
Pearl eats a varied and nutritious diet including a vegetable mix with broccoli, cauliflower, spinach, silverbeet and cooked quinoa, along with pellets as a staple. He loves capsicum, chillies, and carrots, and sunflower seeds are reserved as a treat. He loves to forage and responds well to enrichment and training.
He will come with his medium enclosure, and his current family also have a large cage and travel cage, along with a supply of pellets and treats, which may be available to the right adopter. Pearl’s ideal home is an active household with other birds, ideally other Quakers, where he can be part of a social environment, receive gentle and patient handling, and continue to build on the trust and training he has already developed. He deserves a home that understands his needs and will give him the stability and companionship he is clearly longing for.
JOEY
Species: Galah
Age: Over 30 years young
Gender: Male
Personality: Characterful & Devoted
Adoption Fee: $66
About:
Joey is a pink and grey male Galah aged over 30 years, looking for a very special person to call his own.
He has been a much-loved companion for decades, most recently as the devoted pet of a lady who has sadly passed away. Joey now finds himself in need of a new home through no fault of his own, and finding the right match for him is the priority.
Joey is a talker with a personality to match. He can say hello, ask who’s a good bird, request a kiss, and throw in the occasional cough and a cheeky word or two for good measure. He is relatively tame and can be handled, and he hops out of his cage readily for a walk and to take his medicine. He does have a selective nature and can bite, so confident and experienced handling will be important. He has a strong preference for undivided attention and is not fond of other animals or birds competing for his people’s time, which makes him best suited to a single bird, single pet household.
Joey has arthritis in both knees and one hip and carries some extra weight, so his diet is carefully managed. He eats two teaspoons each of parrot and budgie seed per day along with a small piece of corn and a couple of pieces of carrot, has access to pellets, and occasionally enjoys thistles and grass. He receives daily pain relief and tonic in his water. He also has an unknown growth in his groin which his vet is aware of and which does not appear to be impacting his quality of life. His vet, Adelaide Bird and Exotic Animals, has advised that he must live indoors, which he has done for at least the past ten years.
Joey loves to work on pieces of wood and will chew through anything he can get his beak on, so he cannot be left unsupervised out of his cage. He enjoys coming outside in his cage when someone is working in the garden, and a regular supply of dry, almost rotting sticks would make him very happy. He comes with his own cage which he is well accustomed to, and ideally this would move with him to help ease the transition.
Joey is looking for a quiet, experienced home with one dedicated person who has the time, patience, and knowledge to give him the attention and care he needs in his senior years. He is not a bird for a busy or unpredictable household, but for the right person he will be a characterful, entertaining, and deeply loyal companion. Joey has lived a long and loved life and deserves nothing less than the same in whatever time he has ahead.
BLUEY & BINGO
Species: Budgie
Age: Approx. 6 years
Gender: Males
Personality: Bonded buddies
Adoption Fee: $48
About: Bluey and Bingo are a delightful pair of budgies looking for a caring home where they can continue to enjoy a safe, comfortable life together.
These beautiful little birds have plenty of personality. They are friendly and will happily perch on a finger, making them lovely companions for someone willing to spend time with them. One of them is unable to fly, but that certainly doesn’t slow him down. He loves being let out each afternoon or evening to run around and explore, making the most of his daily exercise in his own unique way.
Bluey and Bingo enjoy a routine and start each day with a mix of seed and pellets. They are enthusiastic eaters, with a particular love of mealtime, and can often be found happily chewing on the cage wire between snacks. While they generally get along well with other budgies, they can occasionally be a little grumpy, adding to their endearing personalities.
Bluey and Bingo would thrive in a patient home that understands their individual needs and can provide a safe environment, daily enrichment, and plenty of love. With their sweet nature, amusing quirks, and gentle companionship, they are sure to bring plenty of joy to their new family.
HUMMIE & SCHOONER
Species: Galah
Age: Unknown
Gender: Male
Personality: Bonded best friends
Adoption Fee: $132
About: Hummie and Schooner are a bonded pair of Galahs looking for a home together, where they can continue the close companionship they’ve built over the past five years.
Hummie is the more outgoing of the pair and loves human interaction. He enjoys stepping up, sitting on your shoulder, and spending time with people once trust is established. He can be affectionate, social, and quite chatty, though he can also become frustrated if his routine is disrupted or he feels uncomfortable. With patience and consistency, he forms strong bonds and becomes a loving companion.
Schooner is around 33 years old and has had a more challenging past, spending much of his life confined before being rescued. He is slower to trust and prefers people to respect his space, but once comfortable he enjoys gentle head scratches and social interaction on his own terms. He has a wide vocabulary, loves mimicking sounds, and is a thoughtful, observant bird.
Schooner is unable to fly and has some feather loss from past stress, so their future home will need to provide a safe, accessible environment. Together, Hummie and Schooner would suit an experienced, patient home that understands parrots and can give them the time, routine, and care they need to thrive.
