Baby

This is what we know:

Baby is a Green Cheek Conure who recently came into rescue with very limited background information available. Baby arrived alongside an Amazon who gave her an injury to the beak, which is being evaluated by an avian veterinarian. Her injury doesn’t stop her she is small but mighty.

Despite the rough start, Baby is a very sweet little bird who enjoys watching people and shows a friendly, gentle personality. She doesn’t like to be held, as she seems afraid. Baby is alert, social, and seems to take comfort in watching people.

Because so little is known about Baby’s history, an adopter should be prepared to continue veterinary follow up as needed and allow time for adjustment in a new environment. With patience, care, and consistency, Baby has great potential to thrive in a loving home.

***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.
