🦜 Meet Sydney 💛, a senior cockatoo who was left on our porch after her elderly owner could no longer provide for her. Like many older parrots facing major life changes, she needed time to feel safe again. Within just a few days, she began to trust—taking treats, accepting head scratches, exploring outdoors, and even enjoying cuddles.

Senior parrots deserve comfort, dignity, and love in their golden years. Providing that care takes time, staff, specialized diets, and veterinary support.
If Sydney’s story touches your heart, please consider becoming one of her sponsors. Every donation helps us give Sydney—and birds like her—the care they deserve.

Sweet Robinhood is our resident Yellow-Headed Amazon at the SB Sanctuary💛

Poaching and habitat loss has driven the species to near-extinction in the wild; earning it a conservation status of Endangered (EN)

However, some escaped pets have banded feral flocks around Southern California, Florida, and even Germany!
