Bonnie

This is what we know:

Meet Bonnie, an 11 month old pineapple green cheek Conure with a playful and curious spirit. Bonnie loves anything she can chew or tear apart, and she is always ready to explore new toys. She’s a smart little bird who enjoys learning tricks and sampling new foods. Singing is one of her favorite pastimes, especially when she hears a song she likes.

Bonnie has a few things that make her nervous, such as balloons, paper towels, and stuffed animals, but with a gentle and patient approach she quickly settles in. She doesn’t have a preference for men or women and enjoys being handled often. While it may take her a moment to warm up, once she trusts you, she’s a delightful companion. She especially feels comfortable stepping up onto hands and has no issues with plucking or self-mutilation.

Bonnie is a sweet, active, and loving little Conure who is looking for someone to continue giving her the patience, playtime, and care she thrives on.

***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.
