ADOPTION OF THE MONTH!Bridget and Kaya
I met Lisa in 2014. I came across a sad little cockatoo in a tiny cage with filthy dishes up for rehoming and, while I love birds, I know a wild cockatoo is too much of an undertaking for me. Despite this, something about his photo cried out to me and I needed to find him a home. A friend recommended Lisa's rescue, Soft Landings Parrot Rescue. After a few Facebook messages, I knew she'd be the perfect place for this baby, later deemed Tootsie for his arthritic toes. Through Tootsie, Lisa became a friend. She loved him on his terms and I respected the work she did with her phenomenal rescue. I mentioned to Lisa that my dream bird was a white bellied caique. I was always kind of watching for one in need of a home and then Kaya came around. Kaya was brought to Soft Landings and Lisa would always say I should her. I was just so nervous. I already had two birds and I knew caiques were known for being a handful. Lisa had to pick up a bird in San Antonio and she said she'd swing by with Kaya. This was my chance! On May 9, 2015, I finally met Lisa in person and Kaya came to live with me. Lisa helped me every step of the way. She's always there to answer questions, even now, five years later. Kaya has been an absolute joy and proves that rescues can be an excellent addition to your home. You don't need a baby bird to get a loving companion. Because of Tootsie and Kaya, Lisa has become family. I love and respect her for what she does and how much she sacrifices for her flock.
