Romeo

This is what we know:

Romeo is a seven year old Green Cheek Conure with a bright green and yellow body and a brown head. He has been with his current family for six years after coming from Parrotzville, where he had originally been with a breeder. Romeo has lived alongside an African Gray and a ring neck dove and has grown up in a busy, family-centered home.

Romeo is a social and engaging conure who enjoys interaction and attention. He is comfortable being held, although he does not enjoy being petted. One of his sweet habits is bobbing his head when someone bends a finger in front of him, a unique little way he communicates. He enjoys millet and responds happily to the toys and routines he knows well. Romeo does not pluck and has no known health issues or injuries.

He generally prefers men and can be timid around strangers, but he is friendly once he feels safe. Romeo is child friendly and has lived peacefully around young children. He is not fearful of most things, although he dislikes brooms, mops, or any long or large objects.

Romeo is a loving and expressive little conure who will thrive with someone who can offer companionship, gentle handling, and consistent 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.
