Stormy & Sadie

This is what we know:

Meet Sadie and Stormy, a bonded pair of 17-year-old Blue Headed Pionus looking for their next chapter together.

Together.

Not separately.

These two have spent their entire lives as companions and will be adopted as a pair. If you’re lucky enough to welcome them into your family, you’re getting both.

Sadie is the more outgoing of the duo and enjoys attention once she knows you. Stormy is a little more cautious and prefers to take his time deciding whether you’re trustworthy. Together, they’re sweet, gentle, fully feathered, and everything Pionus lovers adore about the species.

Their family loves them dearly and made an incredibly difficult decision to ensure they have the time and attention they deserve.

One thing we want to make crystal clear: Sadie and Stormy are companion birds. They are not available for breeding. Any adoption will include a no-breeding agreement, and these two will remain together.

If you’ve been looking for a wonderful pair of mature parrots with years of love left to give, we’d love to hear from you.

Prefers: Doesn’t seem to have a preference. They’re both pretty sweet, and once they feel comfy, seem to like everyone equally.

***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.
