Ash (to be adopted with best friend Peanut)'s Story

Ash and Peanut are two conure besties that need to be adopted together. They are assumed to be female. Although both were intially shy, their foster mom has made great strides with them. They both love training and can now step up and do tricks! They would love an adopter who will keep working on training with them as they both enjoy it a lot. Both Ash and Peanut are flighted and love to fly! They are also trained to go in and out our their travel cage and enjoy going on car rides in it.<br/><br/>They are great eaters and look forward to their daily chop. They love peppers, broccoli, radish, and green beans. They also love the occasional freeze dried blueberry! <br/><br/>They are big on enrichment and are always happy to have a foraging box or various foraging toys. These two are a lot of fun and enjoy their out of cage time. They have been around dogs and cats and don't seem to get stressed out around them. (Always with careful supervision. We never recommend letting cats or dogs directly interact with birds.)<br/><br/> <br/><br/>About the species: Green-cheeked Conures (Pyrrhura molinae) are small South American parrots known for their playful personalities, intelligence, and affectionate nature. Native to the forests and woodlands of Bolivia, Brazil, Argentina, and Paraguay, they are recognized by their grayish-brown heads, green wings, maroon tails, and distinctive scalloped chest feathers. Responsible aviculture has produced several beautiful color mutations, including cinnamon, turquoise, pineapple, and yellow-sided, that are commonly seen in companion birds.<br/><br/>Green-cheeked Conures are curious, energetic companions that thrive on interaction with their caregivers. They often enjoy climbing, exploring, foraging, and learning new behaviors, making daily mental enrichment and out-of-cage time important for their well-being. While they can be vocal, they are generally quieter than many other conure species and are more likely to communicate through chirps, squeaks, and expressive body language than through loud, prolonged calls. Unlike cockatoos and African Greys, Green-cheeked Conures are not considered a dusty species and produce very little feather powder.<br/><br/>With proper care, companion Green-cheeked Conures commonly live 20–30 years, making them a long-term commitment. <br/><br/>Because of their intelligence, activity level, and strong social nature, they benefit from daily interaction, mental stimulation, and opportunities for exercise both inside and outside their enclosure. To promote healthy movement and comfort, PEARL requires adopters to provide a cage that is at least 1.5 times the bird's adult wingspan in width, depth, and height, with larger enclosures always encouraged. This standard is based on the bird's ability to comfortably extend and flap its wings while inside the cage.<br/><br/>Interested in Adopting? Visit PEARL's website to complete an adoption application and register for a Standards of Care class. After completing the class, a PEARL Adoption Counselor will meet with you to learn more about your home and help identify the companion parrot or parrots that may be a good fit for you. Adoption fees vary by species, and adopters are required to provide a PEARL-approved cage appropriate* for the parrot or parrots they adopt.<br/><br/>*NOTE: Our foster families understand the habitat needs of the PEARL parrots in their care, and some parrots may have individual housing considerations beyond the standard cage requirements. PLEASE REFRAIN FROM PURCHASING A CAGE BEFORE MEETING WITH A PEARL ADOPTION COUNSELOR. Your counselor will help you select an appropriate cage for the parrot or parrots you hope to welcome into your home.
