Cosmo

Cosmo is a Blue crowned Conure with a bright green body and a beautiful blue head. He is estimated to be around 7 years old and is believed to be male. Cosmo would do best in a home that can provide him with consistent time, patience, and attention.

He does well living with other birds and enjoys a variety of toys. Cosmo eats a healthy diet that includes Higgins InTune pellets along with fresh chop and fruits. He has no known health or veterinary concerns.

Cosmo is not particularly fond of being handled at this time, but with patience and trust building, he has strong potential to form a close bond with the right person and may become a devoted companion. He does not appear to have a preference for men or women.

Cosmo is not a fan of being confined to his cage and will often let himself out in the morning. He has occasional periods where he chews off his tail feathers, though this behavior is inconsistent and the cause has not been clearly identified. He does not fly very well, likely due to limited flight experience, and is currently only placed in his cage at night.

Cosmo is hoping for a calm, understanding home with someone who has the time to help him continue to build confidence and thrive. His family is open to staying in contact with adopters and would love to see him settled into a permanent, 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.
