I am looking for a home for my 2.5 year old green male parrotlet. I adopted him from a multi-bird family 1.5 years ago who were moving overseas, and my husband and I have agreed he would be happier in a multi-bird home. We are not in a position to get more birds, and have decided that rehoming him would be best for his quality of life.
A bit of background: although I work from home and am with him at least 8 hours a day, he is fixated on the birds on our window feeder. When watching YouTube videos of birds, he puffs up, preens himself, and does happy chattering noises. When we recently vacationed, his cage was on a dresser with a mirror and he instantly cooed to his reflection and bowed for scritches. We were shocked-- he'd never shown any behaviors like this since we'd adopted him.
I've worked with him consistently in the last 1.5 years, and he steps up readily, sits on my shoulder, and has never bitten. I love him to death: he's very gentle and pleasant-tempered for a parrotlet, but he is silent and still in our presence, and much more active and vocal when watching birds outside or on the computer... like a different bird. In his previous home he lived with a lovebird and a dove (all caged separately).
I'm located in east-central Georgia and would be happy to drive a reasonable distance to meet for adoption. He'll come with his large Prevue flight cage, play stand, many toys, dry foods, and chop if you need it. In case you're wondering, he's not a talker.
I'm not in a hurry for adopting. It's imperative he goes to a multi-bird home. Feel free to reach out with any questions - thanks.
