Rickie's Parrot and Exotic Rescue and Sanctuary of South Florida

Rickie's Parrot and Exotic Rescue and Sanctuary of South Florida THIS IS OUR ONLY PAGE! We are a 501(c)3 Parrot and Exotic Rescue located in the state of Florida. The babies receive all the love and comforts of home. Thank you!

We are here to help and not judge. WE ARE NOT YOUR TYPICAL RESCUE! We service the state of Florida and beyond. Rickie’s Parrot and Exotic Rescue and Sanctuary, Inc., (“RPER”) takes in parrots and exotic animals that many other rescues turn away. We specialize in the special needs, sick, neglected and abused. RPER welcomes these babies knowing that they come with large medical bills as well as phy

sical and emotional damage. RPER provides medical care and works to gain the trust of these babies so that they can be placed into good, loving homes. We also take in those that simply need to be rehomed for personal reasons. We work hard to ensure that the perfect home is found for each one. Those that are deemed not adoptable, remain with us for the rest of their lives. We don’t judge. Life happens. Circumstances change and we understand that. We also work hard educating the public in the care and responsibilities of owning a bird or other exotic animal. If you find a bird and are unsure of what to do, please feel free to contact us. If you would like to keep him./her until the owners are found, we will give you instructions as to how to take care of that bird as well as where to post to find it's owners. If you are unable to care for it, we will take it in and search for it's owners. Please keep in mind, that birds are much list dogs and cats as far as pets...their owners miss them and look for them. Rickie's has medical bills as well as daily bills for taking care of these babies. We can't do it without your help. So, please...if you can see it in your heart...donate..help us to continue helping these babies.

After getting a reply from Shelly Arnall calling me every name in the book (including the C word) prefaced with the word “effing” every single time, I got bored and blocked her. The best part was her claiming I had a filthy mouth! 😆

To quell any rumors and squash any expectations… no, adoptions do not usually happen that fast…actually they never do.

W.’s was the first application I received. He currently runs the wildlife collection at the nature center in Palmetto Bay, he spent almost 15 years at the zoo and over 5 years at Parrot Jungle.

I knew Dr. Clubb used to work at Parrot Jungle so I told her that a W was thinking about adopting Casper. She had nothing but good things to say about him!

I normally do not utilize fosters either but W’s husband isn’t 100% sure yet. Let’s face it…Casper isn’t a finch or a parakeet. Cockatoos are a huge commitment! BUT as willing as Casper is to step up and flirt with everyone…I know W’s husband will be smitten in no time. W has the qualifications most of us dream about for our babies. So yes! He is my first and probably my only foster home!

I also knew that Casper is literally starving for attention. What I didn’t know..he had been at the market longer than I knew. They had put him in the bottom row of a 3 tiered cage. I never saw him!!!!

As a rescuer…some times we need to step outside the box and go against the rules we put in place for ourselves. After seeing how Casper interacted with him, I don’t regret my decision.

And if it hadn’t been for you…my rescue warriors…he would have never met this amazing man that he bonded with almost immediately. So thank you everyone! I wish you could have been there today!

Updates to follow…

Good question…I was asked if I disease tested him. No. They will be taking him to Dr Clubb under my account. It will give W and Doc a chance to see each other again AND they do not have any other birds at home.

Match made. It was instant for both of them!

So far so good. Casper loves him. Casper was literally lying upside down in his hand. 😆 the little goof ball kept going from his shoulder to mine! As much as we tried to block our shoulders….he literally just jumped over our barricades! He was obviously someone’s shoulder bird!

As an FYI if you don’t know a bird…don’t let them on your shoulder. It’s a place of dominance for them. Ha! But we both finally gave up.
