Flower

This is what we know:

Species: Cockatiel (Whiteface Pearl)
Age: Approximately 7 Months
Sex: Presumed Female
Adoption Fee: $125

Don't let Flower's quiet nature fool you—this sweet young cockatiel is still figuring out the world.

Flower came to Birds and Beaks during a stressful time in her previous owner's life. Recognizing that Flower deserved more time and stability than she could provide, her owner made the difficult decision to help her find a home where she could truly blossom.

At only about seven months old, Flower is still very much a baby. She's in that wonderful stage where she's learning what she likes, building confidence, and discovering that people can be pretty great.

Flower enjoys shredding paper toys, exploring simple chew toys, and—much to our amusement—sometimes prefers sitting in her food bowl instead of on a perch. She tends to be fairly quiet throughout the day, with the occasional evening serenade to remind everyone she's around.

She's a little unsure about hands, especially inside her cage, where she can become nervous. Once she's out, however, she settles down much more easily. With patience, gentle handling, and positive experiences, we expect her confidence to continue growing.

Because she's still young, Flower offers her future family something really special: the opportunity to build a lifelong bond. She isn't carrying decades of habits or baggage—she simply needs someone willing to let her learn at her own pace.

If you're looking for a gentle companion with a lifetime of memories still ahead of her, Flower may be the perfect addition to your family. Sometimes the quietest little birds have the biggest hearts. 💛

***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.
