Blue Headed Pionus's Story

Blue-Headed Pionus — Experienced Parrot Home<br/><br/>Pionus is a courtesy posting:<br/>Approximately 4 years old DNA-sexed male Fully flighted<br/><br/>This handsome Blue-headed Pionus is a social, intelligent, and personable medium-sized parrot looking for an experienced parrot home.<br/><br/>He is quiet for a parrot, although normal parrot calling should be expected. He whistles and has an impressive vocabulary, including I love you, good morning, how are you, what are you doing, come here, and go potty. His talking is a fun part of his personality, but he needs a home that appreciates him as a companion—not simply as a talking bird.<br/><br/>He enjoys being out of his cage and should have at least 4 hours of supervised out-of-cage time daily, with more being preferable. He is flighted, enjoys exploring, and will happily make himself at home, including walking around on the floor. A bird-safe environment is essential. He enjoys showers and daily misting (necessary).<br/><br/>He eats a quality pellet diet along with daily fresh fruits and vegetables, with minimal nuts and seeds, and has no special dietary requirements.<br/><br/>He knows basic behaviors such as step-up, but like most parrots, he has plenty of autonomy and free will. Sometimes he will happily cooperate; sometimes he has other plans. He would benefit from continued positive-reinforcement training and daily interaction.<br/><br/>He is comfortable living near other birds and does not appear to require an only-bird home. Appropriate introductions would be necessary.<br/><br/>An experienced parrot home is required. Adopters should have experience with medium-sized parrots or larger and understand the responsibilities of keeping a flighted bird. Homes with dogs or cats must have a completely separate, secure area where he can safely be out of his cage.<br/><br/>He originally came from Parrot Stars, and additional history is available.<br/><br/>No cage is included.<br/><br/>Adoption fee reflects the current value of the Blue-headed Pionus and the extensive work, expertise, resources, and care required to make a rescued animal available for adoption.<br/><br/>Adoption applications: https://forms.gle/s28JEfhNywNyLBRYA
