Cassy
It is often said that Umbrella Cockatoos should be surgically connected to their human, which is certainly true in my case. It was hard for me to adjust from my previous home, where I was the only bird, to living here and having to share all the attention. Thank  God for all the tours that go on here as they provide my much-needed attention fix.

Boom Boom
I am small, but oh boy can I bite, run, turn upside down and talk, talk, talk. I am known as a Split to Blue Parakeet. No doubt about it, I am the best talker on the property.

Dolly
Hi, I am a Sulphur Crested Cockatoo and don't really consider myself part of the flock that lives here. The human family that I actually belong to had some health issues, which made me sad, and I started picking out all my feathers. Everyone is nice to me here at BG Bird Gardens and the food is good, but I hope I can go home soon, I miss my family.

Hooters
I won First place for the avian pet in the “Pets on Parade” contest of 2002. I am a Yellow- highed Caique and my ancestors come from Peru, Bolivia, Ecuador & Northern Brazil. I used to be a sweetheart that anyone could cuddle, but in my old age I have gotten cranky and rather enjoy biting people.

Sugar Babe
I am also a Sulphur Crested Cockatoo. I lost my old family several years ago. I now call this place home and hope to stay here forever. My species produces outstanding, interesting, affectionate, and intelligent pets. My pleasing personality is augmented by great dexterity and acrobatic skills. My relatives can be found in or near New Guinea.

Pumpkin
When God created color, he tested all the good ones on birds like me. I am a Dusky Lory and am known to be among the most beautiful birds in the world. You can't see it in this picture, but I am lacking one eye that I lost when I decided to play with an armed rattrap. That was a very bad idea.

Colby
My species is on the endangered list. Although I look very similar to the more common Blue and Gold Macaw, I am a Blue-Throated Macaw, aka Caninde Macaw. My relatives, thought to number between only 100 and 1000 birds left living, inhabit a small area of the Amazon basin in northeast Bolivia.

Darwin & Einstein
We are Derbyan Parakeets. Our ancestors came from China or Northeastern Assam. Look closely and you can see that I am missing a leg. An invading raccoon ripped it off in 2007. I survived the ordeal and now use my beak in place of the missing leg. To everyone's amazement, I get around pretty well.

Alfie
If you like red ,you’re gonna love me.. The original Scarlet Macaw is found in Brazil, several Central American countries and the Southeast coast of Mexico, where their numbers are rapidly decreasing. Although my species is well known for beauty and biting, I am always beautiful, but I rarely bite.

Goldie
I am a rare Queen of Bavaria Conure, or Golden Conure and am widely considered one of the finest species in aviculture. Why ? Because I am beautiful, exceptionally intelligent and have a captivating personality. I also have a screech that can wake the dead and I don't hesitate to use it. I especially love to start screaming whenever the phone rings.
 

Oscar
You won't believe this, but I was once an absolutely beautiful Congo African Grey. However, I have been very sick for over a year. I suffer epileptic seizures several times a day, which leave me in very poor health. I have a special padded cage in the office so that I don't hurt myself during a seizure. There, I can be picked up and comforted during my attacks. I am also hand fed twice a day with baby bird food and human baby vegetables. Yummy
 

Jesse and Susie
In Australia, the Eclectus Parrots live high in the trees of the Cape York Peninsula Forest. We are found in New Guinea, the Solomon Islands and the Indonesian Archipelago. Unlike most other parrots, boys and girls of our species don't even look related. The girls are mostly red and the boys are mostly green.
 

Louie
Hello from the smallest of the toucan species. I am known as an Emerald Toucanette and originate from Southern Mexico and Central and South America.

I, Major (on the left) am the reason mom got so involved with a campaign to get all pets micro chipped. I was stolen from Beaverton, Oregon and taken to Colby, Kansas. We are Leadbeater Cockatoos aka Major Mitchell and basically hail from Australia. As you can see, it is difficult to tell males and females apart; we look alike.

Tumba and Whoopie
We are Turacos hailing from Africa. I am a Fischer's Turaco and Whoopie is a Livingston's Turaco. We are full flighted so that we can fly around our cage to show you the beautiful feathers under our wings. Mom doesn't encourage any of us to make babies because she worries about homeless birds, but we do it anyway.

Elvira
I'm Elvira, a rare Aterrimus Black Palm Cockatoo. Unfortunately we are so rare, humans have engaged in the practice of inbreeding us to the point that many of us are in poor health, phobic, or both. Rumor is that our species will be extinct from this planet within the next hundred years. I think I am the only bird on the site that has not bitten mom at least once.

Torey
I am the child of Tumba and Whoopie and was parent raised In other words, I have not been fed or handled by humans. When my parents decided I was old enough to take care of myself, they didn't want me in the same cage with them anymore. Go Figure
