Adoptions at Austin Avain Rescue and Rehabilition
Stories Of Multiple Pets is hosting the Radio For Rescue project beginning August 7th – November 1st. Benefiting from this project is one of four nonprofit animal organizations:
Jerry Nolan oversees Austin Avain Rescue and Rehabilitation in south Austin. His goal is to educate the public about keeping birds as household pets. These creatures require endless hours of intellectual and emotional interaction to replace what they would normally experience in their natural habitat. Evasion of predators, foraging for food and procreation activities must be replaced. Inattention to these needs frequently leads to self-destructive behaviors such as feather plucking, skin mutilation, screaming and aggression.
At the present time (Sunday, September 5, 2010) there are several birds ready for adoption.
Giddings is a young 15 year old blue & gold Macaw. He requires 2 to 3 hours of interaction and will have a life span between 85 – 100 years. The average monthly cost to keep him happy is $250.
Sunny is a mature bird between the ages of 5 – 8 years. One hour a day is the minimum time frame of interaction for Sunny. This Cockatiel can live 25 years. The average cost to ensure Sunny is happy and health is $50 per month.
Cocorriqwa is a mature 18 year old Mexican Red Head Amazon. This loving creature requires at least 3 hours per day of interaction. The average monthly cost for this Amazon is $150. This Mexican Red Head will live up to 65 years of age.
Pickles is a mature (Green) Military Macaw around 15 years of age. This Macaw’s life span is 85 – 100 years. Pickles requires a minimum of 3 hours per day of interaction. The average cost to ensure Pickles is happy and health is $250 per month.
Verdis is a mature Hahns Macaw. Even though he’s small compared to the other Macaws he too requires 3 hours of interaction per day. The average cost to ensure peace in the family is $120 per month. Verdis’ life span is 65 years.
