Paloma & Pepito 🦜💚

This pair of bonded green cheek conures are approximately 6 years old and seeking their forever home. If you’re looking for a pair of conures who bring love and laughs to your home, Paloma and Pepito might just be your perfect match. Paloma and Pepito rely heavily on each other for comfort and grooming. While they prefer to keep affection strictly bird-to-bird, they do love is interacting on their terms.

Both birds are strong flyers who love to explore their space. They’ll do best in a home that supports safe, encouraged flight and environmental enrichment.

Paloma and Pepito are looking for a patient, understanding adopter who respects their boundaries and lets them be the quirky, independent duo they are. They’ll thrive with someone who is committed to giving them stable, long-term and loving care.

🦜 If you are ready for a flock that doesn’t require you to introduce and socialize all the members, here is your opportunity! This eclectic group of budgies has been together for since 2022 and is comprised of two bonded pairs. All of the birds except Io are CLEAR alumni; they returned to us after their wonderful family welcomed a baby. They've all been to the vet and received a clean bill of health!

Our buddy from last night was successfully reunited with their family! 🥳🥳

Kudos to Officer Jerry, transporters Heather and Elora, and foster mom Jurgita for all making themselves available on a Saturday night to facilitate this cutie's happy ending. ❤️
