Cass

This is Cass.

This is what we know about him:

Cass is a very young Sun Conure who was purchased for a child, and after the child lost interest, the parent ended up with a bird they didn’t know anything about or really know much about taking care of.

The good news is Cass doesn’t seem to be any worse for the wear for it. Other than being skittish and nervous in his cage when he comes out, he’s an absolute doll who just wants to snuggle and be loved.

He doesn’t have a storied past or anything like that - he’s just a baby who needs to be taught how to be a bird being raised by humans. He isn’t mean, and doesn’t have any bad habits - he just doesn’t know much of anything yet, so it’ll be your job to teach him.

Age: 1

Sex: Male (We don’t have proof, but they bought the bird from a well known bird store and was told he’s DNA male.)

Prefers: Males or Females? Not sure it matters

Other Bird Aggressive? No.

Cage Aggressive? No. He’s more nervous.

Adoption Fee: $700

Cage Available: Affordable used cages available to purchase starting at $100.

SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS:
Sun Conures are one of the loudest of all the parrot species, and you should be aware of this.

***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.
