Lulu Lemon

This is what we know:

Lulu is a Senegal parrot whose exact age is unknown. She has been in two homes, and while she is assumed to be female, her personality shines brighter than any label.

Lulu is a lively little parrot who loves to whistle and do cat calls. She enjoys shredding paper, tearing into empty boxes, and destroying rope perches with determination. If she sees a toy she really loves, she may become possessive and show it by attacking when it is hung inside her cage.

Her favorite foods include eggs, mash, fresh vegetables, and fruits. She is happiest when she has plenty of things to chew and destroy, as keeping her busy helps her feel content and secure.

Lulu can become stressed or anxious at times, and when that happens, she may pluck. She dislikes loud yelling, the vacuum, and brooms. She has shown a preference for women, but with patience she can bond and be very affectionate. Once she knows and trusts you, she enjoys being handled and loves to be held.

Lulu is looking for a home where she can be understood, kept busy with shredding toys and boxes, and given the chance to show her playful and loving side.

***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.
