Mango and Sandwich

Mango and Sandwich are a bonded pair of conures who must be adopted together. Mango is a 2 year old Jenday Conure and Sandwich is a 1 year old Nanday Conure. Both are healthy, fully flighted, and strongly attached to one another.

These two birds find their comfort and confidence in each other and prefer bird companionship over human interaction. Mango is the more confident of the pair and is an excellent flyer, while Sandwich is still learning and gaining confidence. Sandwich is a naturally fearful bird and is easily startled, though she has made small steps forward with gentle exposure and positive reinforcement. Mango is less fearful but largely uninterested in people, choosing his bond with Sandwich instead.

They enjoy chew toys, rope perches, bells without center pieces, and chatting with each other. Both eat a pellet based diet with supplements and have no history of plucking or self mutilation.

Mango and Sandwich are looking for an experienced, patient home that will allow them to remain together and move at their own pace. They are not aggressive birds, but they need an environment where they can feel safe and secure without pressure for physical interaction.

***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.
