Frick and Frack are a bonded pair of cockatiels looking for a home together. Wherever their next chapter takes them, they’ll have each other.
They’ve been fairly calm during their early interactions here, without much flightiness or biting. They’re still getting used to people, and a patient person could have a lovely time getting to know these two.
They need time, gentle introductions, and room to become comfortable. Their ages and individual sexes are unknown. What we do know is that this little pair belongs together.

THINK YOU MIGHT BE A GOOD FIT FOR FRICK & FRACK?
Someone who wants to work patiently with two bonded cockatiels and keep them together. Give them a suitable shared setup, daily attention, and time to become comfortable with you.
Apply online, complete your interview and home walkthrough, prepare your setup, then visit by appointment to meet the birds. The match depends on how the bird connects with you.
How it works: Apply online → interview → home walkthrough video → approval and an invitation to visit the rescue → visit and handling in Battle Creek, Michigan. If all goes well, you may be approved to adopt that day. An adoption contract is required.
Our usual adoption area is about 350 miles; exceptional farther homes may be considered if willing to travel. Visits are by approved appointment. We never ship birds. Companion adoption only; no breeding. There is no application fee.
The honest stuff, true for every bird:
- Birds usually pick a favorite person and tolerate everyone else.
- They’re not great with kids or dogs, and need to be where the family is, rather than in a separate room.
- All birds bite. Pay attention to their boundaries and earn their trust.
- It’s about trust, not dominance.
Scam warning: Never send money online for an animal you haven’t met in person.

Meet Sweets
Sweets needs a home. She needs somebody who will love her, and help her understand what being loved entails.
She wants to see what you’re doing and be part of it. She can be nervous about getting started, but once she’s out with me, she settles in. Here she is hanging out on my arm and letting me scratch her head.
She needs someone willing to take their time, earn her trust, and help her discover all the good things humans can do. Go slow, and listen to what she’s trying to communicate.
How she got here
Sweets’ previous owner was a breeder who became terminally ill and could no longer care for her animals. After she passed away, her family contacted us and asked us to take in the birds.
Many birds came to us from that home, and most had really great personalities and dispositions, even though they had been breeding pairs. We’re getting to know Sweets as her own bird, and helping her discover life with someone who will take the time to listen.

The honest stuff (true for every bird):
Birds usually pick a favorite person and tolerate everyone else.
They’re not great with kids or dogs, and they need to be where the family is (not in a segregated room away from everyone).
Birds bite. If you’re getting bit, you haven’t earned their trust yet.
It’s about trust, not dominance.
Scam warning: Never send money for an animal you haven’t met in person. We never ship birds.
