Houdini the Scarlet Macaw joined our
family in May, 2016. At first he was a bit grumpy at the change of
scenery, but with a little love he was soon part of the family. This
rainbow-feathered friend was adopted from a family who could no
longer give him the attention he needed after his primary owner
passed away, so they contacted us to help. Houdini loves to give
kisses and ride on shoulders. Scarlet Macaws, once found from Mexico
throughout South America, are now endangered in their native
habitats. Planet Rehab seeks to change this with our Costa Rica
Endangered Species Project where we plan to breed species at risk of
Extinction, including Scarlet Macaws, for release into our protected
rainforest. You can help us with this goal by donating at
www.planetrehab.org.
You can also sponsor Houdini for a $50 a month contribution!
Peaches is a Goffin's Cockatoo adopted
at the same time as Houdini. She is very friendly and polite,
murmuring a 'hello' 'how are you?' and wonderful 'I love you' to
those she knows. Peaches is a special needs bird due to an injury
that she sustained when she was a chick. At Planet Rehab we strive to
place her in different environments that will strengthen her feet and
help her to become more mobile. She is as happy as can be now at
Planet Rehab, she loves to hang out in the Birds of the World
enclosure with the Cockatiels. Goffin's Cockatoos are native to
Indonesia and are the smallest of the white cockatoo family and they
can live to around 50 years old. As a result of deforestation to
supply the world's palm oil needs, Goffin's Cockatoos, along with
many other Indonesian species, are now threatened in their native
lands. You can sponsor Peaches for a $50 a month contribution.
Caeser is a Pied Cockatiel
adopted along with Houdini and Peaches. Caesar is definitely the
shyest of the three, but will readily jump on your hand and adores
kisses. He loves to eat lettuce and nap in the shade in the Birds
of the World enclosure.
Cockatiels are native to Australia and can live longer than 35 years
in a happy home.You can sponsor Caesar for $25 a month.
