Our latest arrival - a very large Jamaican boa (yellow snake) - was rescued on April 2nd. We are seeking sponsors for the construction of a snake habitat so we can keep this animal for educational purposes. The snake is over 8 feet (2.5 m) long and quite docile. Here is a picture of it in its temporary enclosure (a large aquarium):

Jakes and Jukie - best friends (Amazona collaria & Aratinga nana)	Four yellow lovebirds - offspring of rescued Apollo	Sarita - a Moluccan cockatoo who came to SOS-Wildlife in 1997.
Mr. Potoo Northern Potoo (Nyctibius jamaicensis)	Wendy and Mr. Potoo This bird was found lying on the ground with head injuries that have left him blind in one eye. He was rescued and brought to SOS-Wildlife by Tray Biasiolli and Khara Strum. Mr. Potoo can fly but he can't hunt for moths anymore, so he has to be hand fed and will be in permanent care at SOS-Wildlife.	Cher - 39-year-old black-billed parrot (Amazona agilis) Purchased on the street in Montego Bay in 1965 by an expatriate family, this bird was given to the Lee family in 1970.
Simon and rescued wood snake (Arrhyton sp.) that was rescued and released safely in the woodland at SOS-Wildlife.	No harmful chemicals are used here, so the grounds are alive with insects and small creatures such as this lizard on a mango seedling.
