About Auggie
Agustin "Auggie" and Alma are a bonded pair of cockatiels looking for a loving home. They do not do well separated although Auggie does come out of the cage and explores the room and Alma is fine as long as she knows he is close by. Auggie loves a bit too much and has plucked Alma bald. They came from a hoarding situation where they didn't have much enrichment and had stressful conditions. We are hoping with proper enrichment and time out of the cage, Auggie will now find some other ways to entertain himself. Damage to Alma's follicles may be too intense to grow feathers again. Time and the next molt will be telling. Alma has been pretty quiet, but lately has been walking around her cage more and has even decided to come out a few times. She is missing a foot, so requires flat perches and a low long cage because she falls off her perch often. She can perch on round perches so some natural ones should be provided, but the flat ones are easier for sleeping. Dishes low to the floor are easier for her to eat as bending over and balancing on a perch to get to a dish is difficult. She is fully flighted but is still building up her muscles and lung power from being cage-bound for so long. Neither is hand tamed and are still working on building trust. Auggie likes to whistle and play with toys. He is quite entertaining and will walk over close to a human to whistle and have a "chat" in cockatiel chitter. Auggie will go back into his cage on his own at the end of the day when his favorite seed is put in the cage so that is the only time it is made available. These two need a home with understanding patient humans. Their age is unknown, but they are certain to entertain anyone who adopts them with their unique personalities and antics. The adoption fee for the pait is $100.00.
At the time you are seeing this post, Auggie and Alma are still available for adoption. But please know that we may be working on multiple applications already, and any one of them could be approved at any time. Please READ THIS ENTIRE DESCRIPTION and complete an adoption application, if you are interested in any of our animals. Application at www.greendogsunleashed.org If you send an inquiry to ask if the bird is still available, or just tell us you are interested, your inquiry will not be answered. FILL OUT AN APPLICATION. We can do NOTHING without that. No, we cannot tell you if he would be a match for your family without seeing an application. PLEASE KEEP READING for info.
*/*/* PLEASE NOTE: The first communication you will receive after completing an application will be an email response, which will have instructions on how to proceed. Please check your inbox AND spam folders for the next 48 hours, for this email. We will not begin processing an application without the information requested in that email. */*/*
We are happy to consider applicants from out of state on most animals. Please read the description to see if this bird is an exception. If the applicant is approved to adopt, they MUST be willing to come to our location in Troy, VA, for a meet and greet. If all parties agree that the bird and family are a good fit, they would take the bird home at that time.
For more information about our mission and for an APPLICATION for adoption, please go to www.greendogsunleashed.org. The minimum donation fee for this bonded pair of birds is $100 .00. This does not even come close to covering all expenses created by animals while in rescue. We are funded solely by the angels and volunteers willing to donate time and finances.
