Connecticut Parrot Rescue
Adopt. Don’t Shop.
A resource for companion parrots in need, and those who love them.
Connecticut Parrot Rescue was founded in July 2015 and as of September 2016, became an official 501c3 non-profit public charity. We are completely run by Connecticut-based volunteer foster homes, who aid the transition and rehabilitation processes of companion parrots into loving adoptive homes. Please browse our website to learn more about our organization, our exciting partnerships, how you can get involved and, of course... our amazing adoptable parrots! We strive to give our parrots the best possible care, and then integrate them into suitable and loving homes.

Featured Bird
Bloo
Bloo is a very expressive, healthy [vet-checked/tested] blue-crowned Conure, DNA tested male, 20 years old! He loves being with other birds, so having other birds is a must for his future home [not necessarily caged together, though]. He has been with cockatiels and parakeets before, but is interested in larger birds as well. He is also very interested in people [children, females, males], so he is a very well-balanced bird!
While he will most certainly require an adjustment period in his new home, he is currently hand-tamed, likes to ‘talk’ a bit, and plays with his toys. He will step up for his foster and take treats from her hand.
He will definitely let you know when he’s interested in human interaction and when he’s not. He does love to cuddle at night, but is always very obvious when he wants to do something or not.
Adoption Fee: $250.00

Petey
Meet Petey!
Petey is a beautiful Senegal Parrot with a gentle soul looking for a patient, loving forever home. He spent more than 20 years with his previous owner in a home where he was very loved and received lots of attention, head scratches, and companionship. As you can imagine, moving to a new environment has been a big adjustment, so Petey is understandably a little shy while he learns to trust.
The good news is that Petey already knows how to step up and enjoys interacting with people once he feels comfortable. According to his previous owner, he especially enjoys head scratches and absolutely loves chewing on bird-safe toys to keep his busy beak occupied. His former owner also shared that he has generally shown a preference for women.
Petey would thrive with someone who understands parrots and is willing to let him settle in at his own pace. He isn't looking for perfection—just someone who will give him the time, patience, and consistency he needs to build a new bond.
Because of his shy nature, Petey would do best in a calm household without small children. A quieter environment where he can receive plenty of attention and continue building his confidence will help him flourish.
If you're looking for a loyal companion and understand that the best relationships with parrots are built on trust, Petey may be the perfect addition to your family. With patience, love, and a few head scratches, we think this sweet boy has many wonderful years of companionship still to give.

Jumanji
Meet Jumanji!
Jumanji is a handsome 26-year-old male African Grey who spent his entire life with his previous owner. He's a loving, energetic, and affectionate bird with a big personality.
Jumanji thrives on a predictable routine and likes to settle in for the night around 8:00 p.m. He enjoys listening to rainforest sounds—especially recordings of wild African Greys—as well as jazz and select pop music. One of his favorite toys is a set of linked measuring cups, which he happily bops and rattles while entertaining himself in his cage.
While Jumanji is still building confidence and isn't quite ready to come out of his cage, he has made wonderful progress in foster care. He now happily accepts gentle head scratches through the cage and clearly enjoys the attention and companionship of someone he trusts. With patience and positive interactions, he continues to gain confidence.
Jumanji recently transitioned to a Harrison's diet, which he absolutely loves. Along with his Harrison's pellets, he enjoys cracking open almonds and receiving the occasional peanut or a few seeds as special treats.
Jumanji is a sweet and intelligent companion with so much love to give. African Greys are incredibly perceptive birds that thrive on trust and consistency, and Jumanji is no exception. He's looking for a patient, understanding adopter who will allow him to settle in at his own pace. In return, you'll have the opportunity to build a truly special bond with an extraordinary bird.

Zazu
Meet Zazu!
Zazu is a handsome 2-year-old male cockatiel looking for a loving home where he can reconnect with people, build his confidence, and receive the companionship and attention he deserves.
He is hand-tamed, will step up, enjoys being out of his cage, and loves interacting with people through his voice. He can be vocal at times, as cockatiels naturally are, and he has even learned to say “HELLO” in response to people entering the room. He seems to enjoy conversation and will often answer when spoken to.
Zazu came to his current family as a young bird and was originally very social and friendly with everyone. He loved spending time outside his cage and was comfortable staying nearby while exploring his surroundings.
As his family’s schedules changed, Zazu gradually received less one-on-one attention and was eventually moved to a room where he simply doesn't get as much interaction as he needs. This change in social time has affected his confidence and his relationships with everyone, as he is less outgoing with everyone except the family’s dad. He is happy to fly to him, step up, and enjoy head scratches.
