Bertie

Bertie is a 29 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 Harrison's 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/>IMPORTANT PROCESS INFORMATION: Before we can discuss a specific bird with you, we ask that you follow our adoption and education process. Some birds are in foster homes that may adopt them, but there are many other birds waiting for our help who 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. 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/>ONLY 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
