Jollamy

This is what we know:

Jollamy is a striking blue and gold macaw with a story of resilience. He came to us through an animal seizure, and it was clear right away that he had been through a lot. When he arrived at the vet, he needed a deep cleaning. His skin had been irritated by cat urine, and he required a full bath and gentle scrubbing to help him heal.

He carries himself with his wings slightly out and drooped, but x-rays have confirmed that there’s nothing physically wrong, just a habit he developed from his past. When Jollamy first arrived, he was extremely nervous and unsure of his new surroundings. Over time, he’s begun to relax and settle in.

These days, he’s much more laid back. He’ll even take treats from volunteers and seems to enjoy observing the activity around him. Jollamy is looking for someone patient and kind who’s willing to build a relationship at his pace. With time and trust, this sweet soul deserves nothing less than his happily ever after.

***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.
