Mango is a lively, affectionate Amazon parrot with a zest for life. She is believed to be in her late 30s and is full of character. Mango is very bonded to women and thrives on companionship. She is not comfortable with men or children, but with the right person, she’s a devoted and joyful companion who loves to be part of everything you do.

Mango enjoys going for car rides, sitting on your shoulder while you water plants, helping with laundry, or simply relaxing on the porch together. She even likes little adventures, such as going along to the credit union! She’s a creative soul who loves rope toys and weaves colorful threads into little treasures. Her favorite songs to whistle include Bridge on the River Kwai, though she’s a little off key, she’s very proud of her tunes and loves praise.

Mango eats a healthy diet of pellets, fruits, veggies, and the occasional chicken. She does have some plucking under her wings that began after a period of stress, but with care and attention, it has lessened over time. She has also experienced being egg bound in the past and has an enlarged heart, so regular avian vet care is important for her.

This sweet Amazon wants nothing more than to be with her person. Mango will happily spend all day by your side, showering you with whistles, songs, and companionship. She’s ready to bring her love, quirks, and sunshine into her forever 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 experience 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.
