Kirby

This is what we know:

Kirby is a distinguished Green-Winged Macaw believed to be in his 40s. He was well cared for and enjoyed a diet of fresh-chopped meals every day, along with pellets, almonds, fruit, eggs, oatmeal, and his absolute favorite, sweet potatoes. He also loves to shred just about anything, especially coffee filters on a rope or even a wisp of broom.

Kirby is a loving and social bird who enjoys spending time with everyone in the home. He has even enjoyed a respectful 7-year-old child, happily taking treats and scratches from him. Kirby thrives on companionship, loves to perch on your arm, and is content just being part of whatever room you are in. Handled daily, he is well-adjusted and affectionate, with a gentle nature that shines through in his interactions.

Kirby is a wonderful companion who would make a loyal and loving addition to the right 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.
