This is Mango.

This is what we know:

Mango is a little cuddle monster, who loves to have his head scritched, and who likes to be with/on his people. He does seem to be a little hand shy, and nervous of hands, and that’s normal when hands have a history of making them do things they don’t want to do.

His story is that he belonged to a daughter, whom left him at her parents home when she moved out. Her dad works a third shift job, and Mango of course sings the songs of his people throughout the day, making it nearly impossible for him to sleep or be rested enough to work.

Sun Conures are well known for their high pitched call, which makes sleeping during the day tough when Mango is calling to his people.

Mango is hilarious, and screams “PUT ME DOWN!” when he feels like he’s not getting enough attention from his human flock.

***Information that is universal to every bird:

1) Birds are typically not family animals. They usually choose a favorite and at best you can expect them to tolerate everyone else.

2) Birds are not great with kids, dogs, other birds, and are not cuddly with everyone, nor can they really be trained to be. Birds are flock animals, who are social creatures that need to be in a communal area where they can see the rest of the family, or you may eperience serious vocalization and behavior problems. We’ve never met a bird who is great with kids, but we have met kids who are respectful of birds.

3) Birds bite. But, you shouldn’t “take the bite”. If you’re getting bit, you haven’t earned the trust of the bird, and are pushing the bird past his/her limits. You must figure out what the bird needs, and make what you’re asking of the bird more attractive than what they are already doing.

4) Birds are not “dominance” based creatures. Your only option for birds is to earn their trust. If they are, say…on top of a cage and don’t want to come down, that is where they feel safest, not a dominance thing. They are not trying to exert dominance, they just don’t want to come down. Your job as a parrot owner is to figure out what you can do to help them trust you, and whatever you are asking to be more attractive than what they are already doing.

5) NEVER send money over the internet for adoption with any individual or organization for the adoption of an animal you have not met in person. That is almost always a scam.
