Just posting this here, after I guess years of radio silence. The local pet store in Sedalia Missouri had a 5 year old Molluccan for sale by his male owners, because he hates men.
The store owner is really nice and is doing her best, she's admitted she's just in love with him because he's a doll baby. Assuming it's male because he does have a preference for women as said.
He is still fully feathered responds well to body language and whistles a few tunes, he doesn't seem particularly devious and gives clear signals of wanting attention. Moseyed up to the bars and let anyone who wants too give him a pet. According to the store owners on either side of teh shop he is quiet as long as the store is open and someone is around. But they close early in the evening and as soon as he's alone he starts hollering.
Not the store owner. Not the Owner. Not even technically an adoption. But I wanted to put this here because he's a good baby and I thought maybe if people from here knew he was there he might have the best shot of getting a good home. I think he comes with his cage, which is much too small btw, It's one of those narrow rectangle cages you often see Zons in.
Call and talk to the store owner and she'll give you the low down, as I said she's kind of fallen in love with him but can't pay the owners asking price herself.
((If I wasn't still working full time with TBI/special needs clients I would scoop him up in a heartbeat I'D CHARGE IT AND GO INTO DEBT. But with a high stress job I know I would bring that home to the poor angel baby, and it would be bad for us both.))

Sorry to hear he has to get clipped, but if it gets him out of the cage I guess it might be worth it as long as the shop owners know that isn't a guarantee.
