My name is Dudley... I am a 14 year old Umbrella Cockatoo... KARE picked me up from Wildlife Haven/North Central Ohio Avian Rescue in Ohio... I tried to be good to the other birds but for some reason Amazons just make me crazy... I hurt this little guy and so I had to be relocated...

My name is Lovie. This is a picture of when I first came to Knapptime and at 16 July 2003. I'm a special needs bird... I am supposed to be a Fischers Love Bird.

I am sorry all you wonderful humans but I have now been adopted... My new family is great... I still don't understand why that loud Dudley and Sappy Sweet Billy had to come along... Oh well!!!***************

Lovie departed for the Rainbow Bridge on 19 June 2004... Lovie was growing new feathers and new nails... She had started to play with toys and talk up a storm... Lovie was an old bird and as we all know you can't live forever... She was greatly loved and will be greatly missed!!!

Hi! My name is Coco and I am a 13 year old Lutino Cockatiel... I helped raise a couple of children, now that they have gone off to College to "Learn Stuff," I am seeking a new family!!!

"Hi my name is Muffin..." I am a 4 and 1/2 year old Umbrella Cockatoo... I love to cuddle and walk around on the floor looking up at things... I really like my name and love to repeat it... I love Scrambled eggs, Corn on the cob, Large Harrison's pellets... I get "jealous" easily when around other birds and I mutilate my feathers when bored and I think they said at KARE it might be becoming a habit... I bite when I get to excited and when a woman moves in on my man... Kids annoy me so I chase them and bite if they don't yell enough... The Hsu's were really great to me, loved me and taught me a lot while they fostered, Thank you!!! I have a new family now and there are children and lots to get into... Thank you Knapptime...

My name is Henry and I was attacked by a Cockatoo where I used to live... My beak is deformed and I have breathing problems now... If you think I look bad you should have seen the other bird...

Hi, my name is Lulu... I came to Knapptime in late 2004... I've had a pretty good life as I'm in my teens... When I arrived at Knapptime I was malnourished and frail... I was adopted by the Hsu's and listen to what they think of me... Lulu is "our elderly little baby." and "He is doing so well, and is very happy! He plays and chews on his toys leaving a little pile of scraps. He is famous for stealing kisses and we love him so." Are they not the greatest??? I love them too!!!

Arby's the name... Hi, I'm an African bird also... I am a 3 year old Red Belly Senegal... I enjoy cabbage and carrots... I am very sneaky and can get past you when you open my door...

Great news!!! I have a new Mommy and she is great... In this house I'm the King as I am also the only bird... Thank you Knapptime for helping me...

"Get this," he started hanging around my cage and all I had to do was reel him in!!! He gets me Orange Juice and Graham Crackers... I let him pick me up a few times and I saw LOVE in his eyes... His Mom, Knapptime and I delayed going home with him... We tricked him, and his parents snuck over to Knapptime and got me as a secret Christmas present... "WOW," was he surprised!!! I think I like his family... "Oh ya!" Thanks Knapptime...

"Hi!!!" My name is Ricky and I am a Peachface Lovebird... I like children, Look at me play with Elanna... I was given Sanctuary KARE for well over a year but my best friend started growing up and didn't come around for a long time... I met another wonderful and really cute girl who I've fallen in love with named Elanna. She shows me to every one and she has a really great family... I like her father almost as much as Elanna... Elanna is mine!!! Ricky was adopted in February 2005...***************************

Ricky departed for the Rainbow Bridge in mid June 2005... Ricky was a fun friend to all and never met anyone that he didn't like... Ricky was a great educational bird as he enjoyed showing off but mostly just liked making Elanna and her new family proud... Rickey came to KARE with Gabby, Gomez and Sweetie whom we were notified of his or her passing earlier this year... Ricky like Sweetie passed away in the night with no signs of trauma. Ricky was taken to a local vet for a necropsy. Ricky had a tumor which restricted the blood flow from the heart which took Ricky suddenly and with out warning... The staff at KARE and all those who met Ricky will miss him greatly... Our hearts or saddened and Ricky we all will meet you at the Rainbow Bridge... Until then rest well and we love you!!!
