MAY FLOWERS - AND SWEET PATCHOULI
Meet Patchouli!
Patchouli is a female Red Lored Amazon, about 7 years old. She came to us on April 22, 2006. This charming bird was a member of Gloria and Ben Ridgway's flock out at Whitewings Farm in Raymond, WA. When Gloria passed away in December 2006, she had requested that many of her birds come to TGF. Volunteers and Board of Directors members Shauna and Allen Roberts drove the 21 member group of birds out by motor coach. Patchouli had been bred and raised by a long time WA breeder, and was intended to be a friend for Gloria's Red lored Amazon, Reba. The two shared a flight, but were not particularly interested in each other. Reba found a wonderful home in 2007 but the right match for Patch hasn't come along just yet.She is quieter than many of our Amazons, but does enjoy a good happy call if you get her going. She is gentle and likes most people. Patchouli has lived with several other birds and would do fine in a home with other birds. Having an outdoor aviary, cage or flight for her to enjoy and bask in the sun and fresh air is important, as it has always been a part of her life. She is such a nice girl and would just blossom with a family of her own.
If you are interested in Patchouli, send your inquiries to adoptions@thegabrielfoundation.org or call 303-629-5900 Ext 213. You can learn more about our adoption program at http://www.thegabrielfoundation.org/adoption.html
TGF DOES NOT BREED BIRDS, regardless of the species (nor will we place adoptive birds in breeding situations). We make every effort to provide a living environment that does not encourage breeding behaviors. Should eggs be laid, every effort is made to alter the environment and remove the egg(s) as soon as possible but discourage repeated laying. Eggs are never allowed to mature to hatch. Very few birds are housed male with female and careful attention is paid to these birds. Should breeding behaviors be observed, careful assessment of the situation is undertaken and every action is implemented to change this behavior.
