Sirius - Eastern Rosella: Hatched 2019. Arrived 2021. Sirius came to us with Bellatrix, the pair had been kept caged all their life. He was quite aggressive with other birds and was very wild. With time and patience he started trusting me more and now is happy in my presence. He no longer feels threatened by people or birds and is much happier. He does still check out every new bird that arrives and lets them know he is there. He has his work cut out these days as he now has 3 females he is responsible for and spends his days feeding them, hanging out with them and generally being busy.

Lily - Eastern Rosella: Hatched Unknown. Arrived 2022

Sweetie - Hahns Macaw: Hatched 2004. Arrived 2023.
Sweetie is a gorgeous little boy who has settled in beautifully into aviary life. He loves being part of a flock and is very well mannered with the other parrots. He gets very excited at the prospect of walnuts and loves to flash his eyes and say hello when they appear. He very much enjoys the company of Taff but in a non-confrontational way. At night he sits near her as she snuggles up to Mitu, and he has recently started snuggling Jasmine. He’s a happy, contented and lovely angel.

Scoop - Green Wing Macaw. Hatched 2005. Arrived 2024.
Oh bless you Scoop, you are a great big feathery angel who is fairly clueless. You have the sweetest heart and have been adored from the minute you hatched. He is here because it was no longer possible for his family to give him the freedom he needed and enjoyed. He will be loved forever by all of us and his mum is still a big part of his life. He trundles along the wooden poles
In the parrot house with his lower beak on the wood, scraping off any parrot in his way - I don’t think he even notices them. He them chews every thing in his path regardless if it wants chewing or not. He is the highest maintenance parrot I have ever encountered. I just wish he could get a paper round or something to pay for all of his collateral damage. I adore him, the great big klutz.

Pablo - Sun Conure: Hatched 2020. Arrived 2022.


Pablo was a little nervous when he first arrived. He had been kept in solitary confinement for 2 years with very little time out of his cage. He soon took his lead from his fellows and started to trust people and take walnuts out of my hand. He screams loudly at walnut time and flaps his wings like a baby bird in order to be fed. It is so lovely seeing him grow from being a scared little boy to now being confident, cheeky and outgoing. He loves his conure family and they all hang out, chat, fly and eat together. He is a beautiful and outgoing little man.

Charlie - Green-cheeked Conure: Hatched 2015. Arrived 2022. Charlie came to us from The Haven Parrot Rescue after his previous owner had died. He is quite a timid little lad and has yet to learn that people won’t hurt him now. He is desperate to make friends with other conures, but sometimes doesn’t know how to do this very well so it doesn’t always go to plan. He is a beautiful lad and his feathers are iridescent in the sunshine. In time he will find his way in a flock and then will thrive.

Rez - Yellow-sided Green-cheeked Conure: Hatched 2019. Arrived 2021. Rez is the King of the inside gang. He reigns with an iron fist and takes no prisoners - well, unless they are much bigger than him, then he chooses wisely. He is all mouth and trousers and he bluffs well. He likes to stay inside even though the door is left open and he is free to come and go. He is gaining confidence to preen his human by taking his lead from Kiwi. They are a bonded pair and complement each other as opposites.

Sailor - Patagonian Conure. Hatched approx 2002. Arrived 2022 from The Haven Parrot Rescue. Some birds touch your heart in a special way. Sailor is one of those. She is a little lost soul. She has been on her own in an aviary for 10 or more years. The previous 10 years are unknown. At some point her wing was broken so she can’t fly. All she wants is to be loved and she follows me around asking for cuddles. When she is picked up she purrs and presses herself against me, desperate for physical touch and affection. She hasn’t had much contact with another living soul for a very long time. She is very old and I don’t know how long she has left, but I do know that her remaining time on Earth will be filled with love.

Charlie Chaplin - Senegal. Hatched approx 2012. Arrived 2022. Charlie is a dear little soul. He was quite timid when he arrived from The Haven Parrot Rescue, and spends a lot of his time staring - in a typical Senegal way. He loves holding food in his beak for ages before eating it, especially apple or walnut. He has paired up with Sparky, our very old little Senegal, and both sit near each other mainly just staring, or sleeping. He very much enjoys being in the aviary where he can watch everyone else, usually from a high point and near Sparky. He is so sweet.

Shiva is a stunning parrot but a very sad one. He came from an aviary where the owner had developed dementia and was unable to care for him properly. He had also just lost his best friend a week before joining us. He has plucked his feathers a bit due to sadness and stress but these should grow back in time. He is shutdown but I am hoping he will learn to be happy again when he is in the aviary.

Ajani was rescued from an appalling situation. For 15 years he has been passed from pillar to post and used as a stud bird (think puppy farming for parrots) . He was kept in a bare cage at the bottom of a pile of similar cages. He has never been handled kindly, he is too scared to venture outside, but he is now learning that not all humans are cruel and mercenaries. With plenty of time, love, kindness and quietness he will slowly continue his journey of recovery. He is such a brave boy.

Poppet - Orange-Winged Amazon: Hatched 2020. Arrived 2022.
Poppet lives up to her name and is a little sweetheart. She has had a chequered history as she started life in a cage in a shed where she was kept as a breeding bird even though she was far too young. Here she developed atypical behaviours as a coping strategy, which she still has now. A really lovely couple took her on, and immediately had to take her to the vets to have her leg ring cut off as it was embedded into her leg and was causing her a great deal of pain. She immediately relaxed and began to trust them and feel safe. She lived with her friend Marley and the two are inseparable. The family decided that an aviary situation would be far better for them, even though they had the freedom of their house and were never caged. She now lives her life enjoying the fresh air and sunshine and rain with Marley and will so for the rest of her life.

Spirit, Willow, Ivory, Apollo, Phoenix, Bambi, April, Storm, Clover - The Honorary Parrots (The Pigeons): Hatch Date: Unknown.

It’s because of these guys that Morndyke Parrot Sanctuary began. We built an aviary for these rescued pigeons back in 2018. They have nearly all come from the racing industry and all had been abused, broken or abandoned. They were shipped to us from a pigeon rescue centre that was bursting at the seams. None could be returned to their racing homes so they found a forever home here at Morndyke. They are very entertaining and really rather clumsy compared to their parrot house mates. They are all individuals with their own personalities and peculiarities and rights. They will all stay here to be loved and cared for, for the rest of their lives.
