Hi my name is Pepito Pepe is a 40 year old Double Yellow Headed Amazon. She has lived with same family since 1977. She was a wild capture from Mexico and roamed the town freely as a pet for several years. Her B/G Macaw friend came across an accident that took its life, and in 1977 Pepito was allowed to move to California. After many years Pepe's human companion passed away. Ten years ago responsibility as a caretaker became another family member that has been unable to handle her. Recently the very difficult decision was made that in best interest of Pepe, to get her to people that have the experience and knowledge to give her the best possible surroundings and lifestyle, knowing they were never be able to provide. After working several days with Pepe, her training continues for socializing with people. FCBS will continue to work with her. She is very sweet actually and has polite manners and was obviously loved. Her cage came with her and is 4ft x 6ft tall. Pepe has not allowed herself to be caged in almost three years. She seems to be taking well to her new surroundings,has recently become handleable, and enjoys all the attention.

Our Mission:
Unfortunately, Flying Colors Birds Sanctuary must also rescue birds that have been neglected, abused, abandoned, injured, or malnourished. We are committed to housing, feeding and caring for unwanted and mistreated pet birds. Flying Colors will get veterinarian attention for any bird that needs it and do what ever it takes to ensure they survive and live healthy, loving lives. Some will stay in a foster home and others will be adopted out if they achieve the level of rehabilitation that qualifies. Other birds will remain in permanent residence of the sanctuary.
Aria and Yoko
When Aria came to us he could only hold onto the perch for the ride home by leaning onto the side of the cage. With each passing day, through interaction working with the pair we build trust, loving care and curiosity and a whole new world of interests. (To see their full story click the following links.) Latest Story Coming soon...
