Barron

This is what we know:

Barron is a beautiful Blue-crowned Conure looking for a fresh start after spending many years in the same home. She's now searching for a family that understands these intelligent, hilarious, and occasionally spicy little parrots.

She hasn't been handled consistently in quite some time, so her new family should expect to earn her trust rather than assume it comes free with the adoption. The good news? The best relationships with parrots are built exactly that way.

Blue-crowned Conures are known for being highly intelligent, playful, entertaining, and excellent talkers. They're also known for letting you know exactly what they think about... well... pretty much everything. If you're looking for a bird with personality, Barron has that department covered.

She's looking for a home that appreciates her for who she is, respects her boundaries, and enjoys the process of building a relationship with a parrot. If that sounds like you, Barron just might be your perfect match.

As always, our goal is to find the right home—not just the next one.

***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.
