Red Rose

This is what we know:

Red Rose is a beautiful Umbrella Cockatoo who arrived at the rescue through a seizure case, so much of her history is unknown. Even without a full background, she has shown us a warm and engaging personality. She is friendly and lights up when someone speaks to her. She loves to dance, interact, and gently hold your hand as if she is introducing herself. Red Rose is alert, expressive, and eager to form connections with the people around her.

Umbrella Cockatoos are known for their loving nature and strong desire to bond closely with their person. They thrive on daily interaction and can become wonderful companions for someone who has plenty of time and patience to give. They are highly intelligent birds who enjoy learning, playing, and being part of family routines. Cockatoos do best with a stable schedule, mental stimulation, and safe things to chew because they are natural foragers that need regular activity to stay happy. Their vocal abilities and big personalities make every day with them lively and rewarding.

Red Rose is ready to begin a new chapter with someone who understands the needs of her species and who can offer consistent love, attention, and enrichment. She has already shown that she is open hearted and eager to trust, and she would be a wonderful match for 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.
