GRANDPA

grandpa the 90 year old scarlet macaw

Hello there, lovely folks! I'm Grandpa, the Scarlett Macaw! I live at Ziggy's Haven Parrot Sanctuary in sunny Inverness Florida, alongside my best friend Tiki. My journey has been quite a rollercoaster. Once, I endured the hardship of being a breeder bird, trapped in dismal conditions. When my beloved mate departed, life seemed even bleaker. But in 2007, a ray of hope shone upon me as I was rescued from a desolate existence, found nestled in a dog crate beneath a porch, grieving the loss of my cherished companion.

​

Since arriving at Ziggy's Haven, life has taken a delightful turn. I was introduced to Tiki, a Blue and Gold Macaw. Together, we have formed an unbreakable bond, residing in a spacious senior aviary, captivating guest with our vibrant plumage as they snap away with their cameras. Oh, did I mention? I proudly hold the title of the oldest parrot at Ziggy's! While my exact age remains a mystery, I am around 90 years young. Despite my senior status, I still relish in the joys of climbing, playing, and exploring alongside Tiki every single day.

​

Now, I'm reaching out to you, dear friends, in search of sponsors. As the elder statesman of Ziggy's Haven, I require specialized care to navigate my golden years with ease. From tailored vet treatments to ample perches and stimulating toys, your support ensures I continue to thrive alongside my newfound family. With sponsorships starting from just $5 a month, every contribution goes towards my well-being, from nourishing meals to enriching playthings and essential healthcare. Who knows? I might even share some goodies with Tiki!

Hey there! Welcome to my fabulous world! I'm Monte, or as friends like to call me, Princess Monte Marshmellow III! At 20 years young, I'm a lively Moluccan cockatoo who found my amazing home at Ziggy's after my previous family faced some tough times. With my playful spirit and love for snuggles, I’ve stolen the hearts of the staff and volunteers! Now, I’m super excited to be one of Ziggy's ambassadors, spreading joy and companionship by visiting nursing homes, schools, and local events! Let’s make some unforgettable memories together!

​

​

Now it's time for me to do what I do best. Ziggy's has taken me in and provided me with everything a bird could ask for including a ton of new friends. I am asking my new friends to help support me. You can send me nuts, toys, fruits and veggies. You can also send the people who care for me monetary donations to get me the things I ask for. If you become a $ 20-a-month sponsor you get a free shirt after 3 months. If you do it while you are visiting me at the sanctuary ask about the swag bag. Hope to see you soon.

Now it's
