Bertie's Story

Before we can discuss a specific bird with you, we ask that you follow our adoption process. Some birds are in foster homes that may adopt them, many other birds are waiting for our help and are not yet posted in PetFinders. The adoption coordinator in your area will work with you to find the best home for each bird, and a species and personality that works best for your family too. We want to set everyone up for success, especially our parrots. <br/><br/>To get started, the adoption process includes completing our parrot match application and attending one of our core classes. You can find information about this process on our website at www.phoenixlanding.org/adopt. <br/><br/>Bertie is a 26 year old female blue and gold macaw. She eats a variety of healthy foods, including fresh vegetables and fruits, and cooked grains and legumes. She also likes birdie pumpkin bread, nuts, and Nutri-berries. She also loves Lafeber tropical pellets. <br/><br/>She says a few things, like "Bye" when someone leaves the room. She will take a bath in her water bowl while the vacuum is running. When in the mood, she will play hide and seek. (You hide somewhere nearby, just out of eyesight, but visible if she can walk a few steps to see you, and she will walk around until she can see you.) She also loves blowing air kisses, and having air kisses blown back to her. She is interactive, even if she generally doesn't want to be touched. Bertie has made great strides in building trust with people, so just needs a patient home that will work with her at her pace.<br/><br/>Bertie had a recent exam with an avian veterinarian, and is doing well and ready for her next home.<br/><br/>AREAS OF OPERATION: Phoenix Landing serves only Maryland, Washington D.C., Virginia, North Carolina, and northeast Florida. We do not ship birds. However, everyone is welcome and encouraged to join us for our online events. Parrots are unique and they deserve us to be informed caretakers. There are also many past event recordings available which you may find helpful. All event information can be found at www.phoenixlanding.org/events<br/>Thanks for helping parrots!

Phoenix Landing Foundation's Adoption Policy
Understanding the attributes of various parrot species is important. It is also essential to make sure that the personal connection between each individual parrot and the adopting family is just right. We want our families and birds to succeed for many years. The first step is to send an application, begin talking with us, and attend our educational seminars. Our goal is to help each parrot find stability and the best possible place to call home. We want to set you and a bird up for success, this is why in most cases we prefer to do a home visit. This usually happens after you join us for a class, and before a bird is placed.
