This is what we know:

Louie is a twenty year old Sun Conure with the classic bright coloring and an energetic, affectionate personality. He was originally gifted to his current family so their Amazon would have a companion, and he has lived alongside the other birds ever since. Louie has always been part of a loving home where he enjoyed a familiar routine and plenty of interaction.

Louie has lived in the same room as the other birds, each in their own cage, and is used to having toys and activity around him. He is suspected to be male and has shown a clear preference for women, especially his previous owner. Louie can be sensitive to certain noises and is particularly afraid of the vacuum, but he handles most daily situations well.

He was accustomed to spending time out on his tray in the evenings and enjoyed that time to watch the room and interact, though this has become limited with the recent changes in the home. His family is surrendering him because they are caring for a loved one in hospice making it difficult to give the birds the focused time and attention they deserve.

Louie is a sweet and social Sun Conure who will thrive with someone who can provide regular interaction and a calm environment. He is ready for a new home where he can receive steady companionship and loving attention.

***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.
