Owner Said: Duck: I rescued Duck from a river in the middle of winter and found her near all the ducks which is where she got her name. She had water in her lungs and needed antibiotics but she persisted! I wasn't able to find her owner so I got her everything she needed and eventually got a companion bird when she seemed lonely. Ever since, she has really come out of her shell. She sings all day, mostly in the mornings, and she LOVES to play. I was so surprised how active a tiny creature could be, she loves any toys she can shred or thrash around. She also loves to sleep in her rope swing, every night I cover the cage and she'll jump over to it.

Gertrude: I rescued Gertrude as a companion for my other rescue bird. She seems to have bit of training and socialization and she really helped my other bird come out of her shell. She is also quite smart and loves puzzle toys.
