Paige Moore founded The Birdy Bunch Parrot Rescue in Throop, offering shelter to over 50 birds while rehabilitating them for new homes.<\/p>\n
THROOP, Pa. \u2014 There aren’t too many quiet moments at Paige Moore’s home in Throop. Paige got her first pet bird at the age of 13 and has been a bird lover ever since.<\/p>\n
“If they love you, they love you and there is no question about that,” Paige Moore said.<\/p>\n
In February, Paige started a nonprofit out of her house. \u00a0It’s called “The Birdy Bunch Parrot Rescue”.<\/p>\n
“Get the birds from what ever situation might be. \u00a0Some are typical surrenders. I love them, but I can’t keep them anymore. \u00a0Then there are the emergency SPCA cases and then everybody else kind of just comes,” Moore said.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Paige, her boyfriend Evan and Volunteer Leesa Rivera rehabilitate the birds and find them new homes.<\/p>\n
“A lot of birds come in and they’re not hand friendly. \u00a0She takes the bites and the time to get them to the point where they can have a second chance and they can find that next chapter of their life where hopefully is their forever home,” Leesa Rivera said.<\/p>\n
Birdy Bunch Parrot Rescue has taken in more than 50 birds since it opened.<\/p>\n
“We hear about the dogs. \u00a0We hear about the cats. \u00a0But nobody talks about the parrots and these creatures have the intelligence of anywhere to a 3-5 year old,” Rivera said.<\/p>\n
