Meet Kiwi, Animal Ambassador



Meet Kiwi, Animal Ambassador here at Rescue Ranch.

Our little green monster, Kiwi, is a crowd favorite! Kiwi, a Quaker Parrot, came to us in August of 2017 from a hoarding situation where he was one of dozens of animals being surrendered. When Kiwi came to the Ranch, he was nervous, territorial and untrusting of people. With patience, love and a lot of treats, we were able to work with Kiwi to gain his trust.
Now, Kiwi enjoys hanging out on top of his enclosure watching us work, chirping into bells that hang from his toys and taking baths in the sink. One of our absolute favorite things about Kiwi is how he laughs. He has a genuine, deep belly laugh, that is infectious. He will laugh alongside you when things are funny, and he will laugh AT you when he thinks things are funny!

All of our animals have a story to tell! Read more about our animal ambassadors here.
