Running Soaring Spirits means we go through SO many supplies to keep our flock happy, healthy, and comfortable! Between bird food, cleaning supplies, enrichment, and everyday essentials, our needs never stop.

We know times are tough for so many people, but if you’ve been looking for a way to support our rescue, ordering even ONE item from our Amazon Wish List makes a difference. Every single item helps us save money on supplies so we can put more of our funds toward veterinary care and helping birds in need. 💚

You don’t have to buy anything big or expensive. Every little bit helps, and we are so incredibly grateful for everyone who chooses to support our mission!

🛒 SHOP OUR AMAZON WISH LIST HERE:

Can’t order right now? Please consider sharing this post! You never know who might be able to help.

Thank you for standing behind Soaring Spirits Sanctuary, supporting our flock, and helping us give these incredible birds the second chances they deserve. We truly couldn’t do this without you! 💚🦜

OOPS! I FORGOT ONE! 😂

I completely forgot to include Leo in our last adoptables post!

💚 LEO — SENEGAL PARROT, ESTIMATED 25–30 YEARS OLD

This sweet boy is also looking for his forever home! Leo is a very sweet guy who steps up, talks quite a bit, and absolutely LOVES his head scritches. He has a lot of love to give and is ready to find someone to spend his golden years with!

If you’ve been looking to add a Senegal parrot to your family, Leo might just be your guy. ❤️

🏡 INTERESTED IN ADOPTING LEO?

Your first step is to fill out our adoption application! We review applications to help ensure each bird finds the right forever home.

🔗 Adoption application:

ADOPTABLES LOOKING FOR THEIR FOREVER!

📍 We are located in Beech Creek, Pennsylvania. WE DO NOT SHIP BIRDS.

Please read this post before commenting. Do not comment “more info,” “how do I apply?” or “I’m interested.”

All the information you need to get started is right here!

We have some wonderful birds waiting for their forever families, and some have been waiting far too long. Let’s get these babies HOME!

DARCY & ELIZABETH — BONDED PAIR OF LORIKEETS, 3 YEARS OLD

These two have been here the LONGEST with absolutely no interest, and I genuinely cannot understand why. This one really hurts my heart. 🥺
Darcy and Elizabeth are goofy, rambunctious little clowns who are also incredibly sweet. They have so much personality and so much love to give the right family.
Elizabeth steps up and is an absolute doll baby! Darcy, on the other hand, is a bit of a hormonal, stubborn little man. They each have their own personalities, and that’s part of what makes them so special.
They eat a nectar-based diet supplemented with fresh chop and plenty of fruit, so potential adopters must be prepared for their specialized dietary needs.
I’ve even REDUCED their adoption fees, hoping to help them find a home, and still… nothing.
I truly don’t understand how these two keep getting overlooked. They deserve a family of their own, too. They deserve to be someone’s beloved companions instead of continually waiting here while other birds find their homes.
If you have experience with lorikeets and are prepared for their unique care requirements, PLEASE consider this sweet pair. They need someone to give them a chance. ❤️

BUSTINA — 18-YEAR-OLD BLUE-FRONTED AMAZON

This girl is an absolute CHARACTER!
Bustina mimics a newborn crying, whistles her own made-up tunes, greets you with “Hi Buster,” and makes possessed demon noises when you least expect it. 😂 You genuinely never know what is going to come out of her mouth next!
She’s a wonderful flier, a sweet and loving baby, and has so much personality to share with her future family.
Bustina does seem to lean toward women and would likely be happiest with a female primary caretaker. She does NOT attack men; she simply seems to prefer women.
If you’re looking for an intelligent, entertaining Amazon with a big personality, Bustina could be your girl!

NICO & BOSCO — SENIOR AMAZON DUO

Nico is a Blue-Fronted Amazon, and Bosco is a Double Yellow-Headed Amazon. Both are believed to be in their 30s or older.
These boys have lived in the same home, side by side, for over 10 years. While I don’t believe they are bonded, they are accustomed to each other’s presence, and we would love to see them placed together if the right home is available.
Important information about Nico’s special needs:
Nico is blind or very nearly blind. I suspect he may still perceive light and shadows, but his vision is extremely limited. He relies on Bosco’s presence and sounds around him to help navigate his environment.
Nico needs a carefully arranged, appropriately sized cage with a perch that runs the length of the cage, allowing him to shuffle back and forth to reach his food and water bowls without risking a fall or injury.
He does not need an excessively large cage that could make navigating more difficult, but he absolutely needs a cage that is appropriately sized for his species and thoughtfully arranged for his disability.
These boys will need TWO SEPARATE CAGES. They are not currently housed together, and their future home must be prepared to provide each bird with his own safe space.
Nico needs an adopter who understands that caring for a visually impaired bird requires patience, consistency, environmental stability, and thoughtful accommodations.
These boys are older, and we want their next home to be one where they can enjoy the rest of their lives with safety, comfort, and love.

https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSeLsrp1MxZje3KVQSEbQDClBaRWIrIuM4FhXWi2_a8St9Gr7g/viewform?usp=dialog

I will not respond to comments saying “I’m interested,” “how do I apply?” or “I need more information.”

The application is where this process begins.

Please read the descriptions above and submit an application if you believe one of these birds may be the right fit for your home.

We are located in Beech Creek, PA. We do not ship birds.

Adoption is not first-come, first-served. Our priority is finding the RIGHT home for each individual bird, and every application is reviewed with that in mind.

Please SHARE this post! You never know who might be looking for exactly the bird who has been waiting here for far too long.

Especially Darcy and Elizabeth. They have been waiting, and waiting, and waiting. They deserve to be chosen, too. ❤️

Somehow, it’s Saturday morning, and instead of sleeping in, I was up feeding the flock at 6:30 AM!

Since I was already up and Saturdays are my usual cage-scrubbing days, I figured I might as well get a head start on the day… so that’s exactly what I did.

Here are some pictures of the aviary and macaw room AFTER cleaning! 😍✨ I’m going to admire the view of a spotless room while it lasts… which will probably be about five minutes. 😂 A few fellow flock members decided that the perfect time to jump straight into their water bowls for a bath was immediately AFTER I finished vacuuming. Of course they did. 🙃

I also included some pictures of a few of our beautiful flock members! Some were due for new toys, some decided to fling their chop absolutely EVERYWHERE (the floor AND the walls were apparently part of the breakfast menu this morning 🤦‍♀️), and then we have our lovely little pellet dippers who somehow needed their THIRD water change before 9 AM. 💀

Life with a flock is never boring, that’s for sure! You can spend hours cleaning, scrubbing, vacuuming, refreshing toys, preparing nutritious meals, and making everything perfect… just for your feathered roommates to immediately undo half of it. 😂

I wouldn’t trade this life for anything…❤️ Even on the mornings when I’m scrubbing bird p**p before most people have even gotten out of bed!

Welcome to life at Soaring Spirits, where clean floors are temporary, water bowls are for bathing, and the birds are ALWAYS in charge. 😂❤️🦜

Look at how PRETTY this fall-themed chop turned out! 😍🧡 Not only is it gorgeous, but it’s packed with nutrition for our flock, too!

This time, I decided to throw everything into the food processor instead of my usual chopper to switch up the texture and really get all those yummy ingredients mixed together! Sometimes changing up the texture is a fun way to keep mealtime interesting for our feathered friends. 🦜

Here’s what went into this batch:
🎃 Mini Pie Pumpkin
🥜 Butternut Squash
🥕 Multicolored Baby Carrots
🌶️ Jalapeños
🫑 Multicolored Mini Peppers
🥦 Broccoli
🍎 Apples
❤️ Cranberries

So many beautiful fall colors and fresh ingredients all in one bowl!

As always, fresh chop is just one part of providing our parrots with a balanced diet, and we love getting creative with different fruits and veggies to keep things interesting!

We woke up bright and early this morning and made the drive to the Harrisburg/Hershey area to visit Animal Hospital of Dauphin County! I found Dr. Balmer through the AAV (Association of Avian Veterinarians) website, and we decided to give them a try! This is a bit farther than our previous drive to Cambria Veterinary Care, but we’re always looking for the best possible veterinary care for our feathered residents.

Our lucky (and EXTREMELY BRATTY 😂) patient today was miss Olivia!

They were able to draw blood for her bloodwork without having to sedate her, which was great! However, Olivia decided she was absolutely NOT having it. She threw a full-blown tantrum, flinging herself all over the place and fighting them every step of the way. 🤦‍♀️

Unfortunately, because Olivia has a significant nutritional deficiency, her skin is extremely thin and fragile. With all her flailing around, she tore up her wings, and she also continued bleeding from the site where they drew her blood. So now our poor girl is all bandaged up, and her wings are pretty beat up from today’s ordeal. 😭 She certainly made sure everyone knew how she felt about this whole experience!

We also learned that Olivia is overweight, so we have some work ahead of us to get her health headed in the right direction. We should have her bloodwork results back within the next couple of days, which will hopefully give us a better understanding of what’s going on and what she needs moving forward.

Another concern is her preen gland, which appears to have something impacted in it. Unfortunately, because Olivia was fighting so hard and her skin is so fragile, they weren’t able to get it cleared out without causing bleeding. If we decide to move forward with addressing it, she’ll need to be sedated to do so safely.

Now we’re headed back home to Beech Creek for the 2.5-hour drive with one VERY grumpy passenger! 😂🚗 I’m sure Olivia has plenty to say about today’s adventures, and I have a feeling she’s going to be holding a grudge for a little while!

I’m making some progress with Bindi!

When Bindi came to us, we had very limited information about her past other than the fact that she had been through several homes in a very short period of time and kept getting flipped from one place to another. Based on what we know, I suspect she may have been used as a breeder bird or simply never truly experienced life as a companion bird. Of course, we may never know her full story.

This girl is starting to let me into her little world, and my heart absolutely cannot handle it. 😭💙

Bindi has STARTED TALKING TO ME! Every single time I walk up to her, she greets me with a little “Hewwo!” and I swear it melts me every single time. 🥹

And guess what else? She’s giving me KISSES now! Yes, I’m risking my face a little here 😂, but when I’ve given her the opportunity to bite me, she’s chosen to gently preen my lip instead. She’s also allowed me to kiss her beak several times. Those might seem like tiny things to some people, but when you’re working with a bird who may have never known what it means to trust someone, those moments mean EVERYTHING.

Now, let’s be clear. We still have a LONG way to go! Hands are still a big NO for Bindi. She’ll let me gently touch her beak with my finger, but if I try to touch her head or move too quickly, she’ll jump and lunge at me. I honestly don’t think anyone ever took the time to work with her or teach her how to step up.

I can leave her cage door open for HOURS, and she won’t come out. But lately, she’s started climbing onto the open door and sitting there! She still quickly retreats back inside if I look at her or get too close, but she’s taking those little steps on her own terms, and that’s what matters.

We aren’t forcing anything. We aren’t rushing her. We’re letting Bindi decide when she’s ready, and we’re celebrating every tiny bit of progress along the way.

Trust isn’t built overnight, especially when a bird has been passed around from home to home. I don’t know what Bindi has experienced, but I want her to learn that she doesn’t have to keep starting over. She’s safe here. She doesn’t have to perform, she doesn’t have to be handled before she’s ready, and she doesn’t have to earn her place in this home.

She just gets to be Bindi. 💙

And if all we accomplish today is a little “Hewwo,” a few kisses, and sitting on her open cage door for a few extra seconds, then today was a GREAT day.

Slow and steady, sweet girl. We’re getting there.

Tonight, we welcomed this sweet boy, Archie, into Soaring Spirits! 🦜

Dr. Vena, who recently saw him, estimated that Archie is somewhere in his teens, but we don’t know his exact age. From the information we received, it sounds like he may have already been through three homes in his lifetime.

His most recent surrendering family loved him dearly and took wonderful care of him, and it truly shows! His feathers and beak are in beautiful condition, and he is absolutely gorgeous! 😍

Archie is missing two toes on one of his front feet, something that was already present during his previous two homes. We aren’t quite sure what happened to his toes, but thankfully, he maneuvers just fine and has adapted well!

And let me tell you, this boy is FRIENDLY! 💚 He stepped right onto my arm without hesitation, and he’s already making a wonderful first impression.

We’re so happy to have Archie here with us and look forward to getting to know his personality even more as he settles into daily life. Every bird who comes through our doors has a story, and we’re honored to be part of Archie’s next chapter.

I’ll have to get better pictures of him cause he was just not having it with the phone in his face.🤣
