Tori

This is what we know:

Tori is a beautiful Quaker parrot with mostly green feathers and soft white coloring on her chest and cheeks. She has been with her current family for about seven years and originally came from another owner who had her for several years before that, making her a well-traveled little lady with plenty of life experience.

Tori is believed to be female, though this has never been officially confirmed. She has never laid an egg and has no known health or veterinary issues.

Her favorite things include fruits and vegetables, mashed potatoes, and egg. She absolutely loves music, especially 1950s rock, and enjoys watching people sing, clap, and dance for her. She is happiest when she feels included in the fun.

Tori tends to prefer men and is not very fond of women. She can be shy around new toys or unfamiliar items and may take time to warm up to changes in her environment. She does not pluck or self-mutilate.

Tori does enjoy being handled, though she has become a bit less interactive over time due to receiving less attention. With patience, consistency, and gentle bonding, she has great potential to become more engaged again in a loving home.

Like most Quakers, Tori is intelligent, social, and full of personality. She would do best with someone who understands Quaker behavior, is willing to move at her pace, and can offer her the attention and companionship she deserves.

***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.
