Available Birds
Fado
Male (DNA Verified) – Canary-Winged Parakeet – 1 YearFado arrived at CLEAR in May of 2022 after a Good Samaritan noticed him in poor health. Fado is currently undergoing treatment for some minor ailments and will be available soon. While his plumage indicates the fact that he was neglected, this little dinosaur is incredibly curious, and excited to learn how to properly interact with humans (especially if they have his favorite treat- oat groats!). This species of South American parrot can live beyond 15 years; Fado’s forever home must be prepared to handle this commitment. A household that has prior medium bird experience is required. Hatch date: 2/10/21
Kaya & Goose
Female Pair – Parakeet – AdultKaya (white) and Goose (blue) are two adult female parakeets who arrived separately as strays in June of 2022. After quarantining next to each other, they decided to shack up together- and they’re loving every minute! Kaya is more vocal and inquisitive than Goose; one of her special talents is the ability to mimic outdoor birds- which tells us she was outside for a long period of time. While Goose is more reserved, her confidence has grown since moving in with Kaya. Their foster home has said that they have a wonderful morning chorus!
Nugget & Nora
Mixed Pair – Parakeet – AdultNugget was found flying wild on a beach in September of 2020. After two years as a member of CLEAR’s welcoming committee, Nugget decided to fall in love with Nora when she returned to us from a foster situation. Nora reciprocated, and these two gregarious birds have been together ever since. Nora arrived at CLEAR in August of 2021 from another rescue. Nugget (likely born in early 2020) is deferential to Nora, while Nora is patient with Nugget. An ideal home for these birds would include conscientious adults and respectful children; Nora spent a period of time at a local private school, where she thrived. These two friendly munchkins are looking for a very special forever home.
Sunny & Frost
Mixed Pair – Parakeet – Adult/YoungSunny (yellow, adult, F) and Frost (pied, young, M) have had a rocky journey, but we’re hoping to find them the perfect forever home. This bonded pair came to CLEAR in August of 2021 as a transfer from another rescue. They were adopted by a wonderful Afghan refugee who had just arrived in Chicago and was missing the budgies she left behind. Unfortunately for Sunny and Frost, their first adoptive mom found a job in California and was unable to take them with her, so they came back to us.
Ocean & Forest
Male Pair – Parakeet – AdultOcean (blue) and Forest (yellow) are a pair of young male parakeets who were relinquished to our veterinary partner in April of 2022. Their foster mom says that they are closely bonded to each other, and prefer their own company to humans- and that they are thriving in a large enclosure with lots of toys! Their foster home has put a lot of time and effort into making sure these two talkative boys are happy and comfortable; we know a relaxed forever home is just around the corner for Ocean and Forest.
CLEAR Alumni
Boden
Male – Cockatiel – AdultBoden was caught as a stray and relinquished to our veterinary partner in June of 2022. He is our very first cockatiel, and we are thrilled to be working with him! He likes being a part of family meal time in his foster home, and strikes up a conversation with any creature around. We think Boden will be excellent for a household that has the patience to work with a bird who is learning to navigate a new environment.
Ash
Female – Parakeet – YoungAsh was found as a stray in the Edgewater neighborhood of Chicago in June, 2022. She’s a very confident young lady, with lots to say. We are still getting to know Ash and her inquisitive nature. Ash would thrive in a patient home willing to spend the time it takes to train a younger bird.
