Hey folks!!

Meet me Dolly, I’m a beautiful Blue and Gold macaw believed to be over 20 years old

I came in to rescue as my previous owner was an elderly gentleman & had poor health

Since being in rescue as im a macaw I’ve had my standard health check & microchip with our avian vet, I’ve also had additional blood tests to test for a breathing condition called aspergellosis, where due to previous foods and environments I may of been exposed to during my life fungal spores can collect & line my air sacks causing me difficulty in breathing

Tests do cost & the rescue are having to spend out in the region of $700-$750 per bird for bloods, X-rays, medication & re-testing before they can clear a bird negative for rehoming, these fees have to be recoverable in our macaw rehoming fee

All us Macaws are tested here now as this is a rife disease among parrots, more so in Macaws but very curable if picked up, detected and treated early enough

My results came back as positive & Aspergellosis had flagged up and I was started on a course of anti fungal medicine straight away

I have been living with one of the rescue Trustees while being here in the rescue but I’m not very friendly with him currently as he has been giving me my medication daily and I dont like it

Now that I am better, I am going to need time & patience to bond & make friends with someone new

I would suit a quieter home

Anyone who wishes to offer me a new home, can you send the folks above who run this place a message, outlining what kind of home you can offer me

That’s all folks

Love Dolly

Thank-you
