Bustina's Story

MEET BUSTINA! (Formerly Buster... until “SHE” laid an egg! )<br/><br/>This gorgeous 18-year-old Blue-Fronted Amazon is ready to find her forever home! <br/><br/>Before applying, please take a moment to consider her age and the commitment involved in adopting an Amazon. 18 is still young for an Amazon, and these birds can live for many decades! Bustina needs a family prepared to love and care for her for the rest of her life.<br/><br/>So, what’s life with Bustina like? Well, for starters, don’t be surprised if you find yourself frantically searching your house when you hear what sounds like a newborn baby crying, wondering how on earth an infant got into your home and WHERE IT IS. She’s a little professional at mimicking a newborn cry!<br/><br/>Bustina is a sweet, gentle girl with plenty of personality. She’s a phenomenal, strong flier who loves taking laps around the house, steps up nicely, makes the CUTEST little kissy noises, and eats her chop and pellets wonderfully! <br/><br/>Now, let’s talk about her Amazon attitude. Bustina has primarily known women throughout her life, so she does tend to lean toward them. She also has a habit of choosing ONE person to be her certified human. And once she’s chosen her person... Well, everyone else better respect her boundaries, because she can absolutely bite! She needs an adopter who understands Amazon body language, respects her boundaries, and is prepared to work with her individual personality.<br/><br/>Bustina will go through our 4-week foster-to-adopt trial before her adoption is finalized. This gives everyone time to make sure it’s the right match for both Bustina and her potential family. <br/><br/> Located in Beech Creek, Pennsylvania. <br/>We do NOT ship birds.<br/><br/>Think you could be the lucky human Bustina chooses as her forever person? Are you ready for decades of love, laughter, flying laps, kissy noises, and the occasional Amazon attitude?<br/><br/> Apply to adopt Bustina here:<br/>https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSeLsrp1MxZje3KVQSEbQDClBaRWIrIuM4FhXWi2_a8St9Gr7g/viewform?usp=dialog

Soaring Spirits Sanctuary's Adoption Policy
Our adoption process is designed to prioritize the lifelong wellbeing, safety, and emotional needs of our parrots. Every bird has a different history, personality, level of socialization, medical needs, behavioral challenges, and ideal home environment. Because of this, we do not believe in a “one-size-fits-all” approach to adoption. When appropriate, we strongly prefer a foster-to-adopt arrangement. This gives the bird and potential adopter time to adjust to one another in a home environment and allows us to determine whether the placement is genuinely appropriate before finalizing the adoption. We do not place birds on hold and do not accept deposits to reserve a particular bird. We expect adopters to understand the long-term financial, emotional, medical, and lifestyle commitment involved in caring for a parrot. We want adopters to be prepared not only for the fun and rewarding parts of parrot ownership, but also for hormonal behavior, behavioral challenges, medical expenses, diets
