Buddy

This is what we know:

Buddy is an eight to nine year old Sun Conure with bright orange and yellow feathers that match his lively personality. He has been loved and cared for but is now looking for a home where he can get more time and attention.

Buddy enjoys being around people, especially women, and likes to stay busy in his cage filled with toys. He eats a diet of seeds and papaya and has been seen by a veterinarian in Frankenmuth. He does not pluck and appears to be in good health.

Like most Sun Conures, Buddy thrives when he can be part of the daily household activity. With his cheerful colors and curious nature, he will bring warmth and energy to any home that can give him the love and interaction he deserves.

***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.
