Rosie & Nala: ADOPTED!

This is Rosie & Nala.

This is what we know about them:

These two are some of the best little Green Cheeks ever to bless this rescue. They are sweet, inquisitive, funny and are perfect birds to learn flight recall with. Their human loved them immeasurably, but after she had them for 4 years learned she had a serious medical conditional prohibiting her from keeping them. They are incredible little birds, and any family who adopts them will be entertained by their antics. They are a great age because they are past sexual maturity, and they still have happy little personalities.

Age:5 (Hatched in January and February of 2019)

Sex: Presumed males, but no DNA, no eggs.

Prefers: Males or Females? Not sure it matters, but were raised by a female.

Other Bird Aggressive? No.

Cage Aggressive? No

Adoption Fee: $800

Cage Available: Their cages will be included with them for an additional $150 for both.

SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS:
They are caged separately here at the rescue to prevent them from becoming possessive and naughty. We would recommend continuing that in the home. The cages they have are the cages they have always had.

***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.
