Who We Are

Meet Greta!

Greta is an orange wing amazon that joined our founder’s family in 2019. Born around 2003, Greta’s past is largely unknown. Greta was dropped off at a local pet store – looking very rough and afraid of everything. Our founder brought her home and their journey together began…

Greta is a very special bird as she lives without her feet! We don’t exactly know the reason she has no feet – it could have been an accident many years ago or a poor nest raising by her mother. 

Greta doesn’t let being disabled stop her – in fact, she is an excellent flyer and can navigate the bars of any cage by wrapping her “nubs” in between the bars. 

Greta loves to be close to her humans and will flock call if they are not in sight. She truly is an inspiration to behold.
