Bobo is a very beautiful, 3-year-old male cockatiel.
Bobo has had a complicated first few years of life.
He came in as part of a pair with his cage mate, Coco.
After they were surrendered, we found Bobo was aggressive and was bullying Coco.
It became apparent that the two of them were not bonded.
We decided to separate them, and Coco is now part of a new flock in a great new home.

We found that Bobo does do well with other birds and enjoys being around them, but he just needs to find the right friend.
For this reason, Bobo MUST be adopted out only to a home that has at least another bird, preferably a larger breed bird,
to preserve his good mental health.

He has come a long way, and during his year in foster, he has reached some huge milestones
His vocabulary has expanded - ' Hi, the Bobes'
'Are you a good boy, Bobee?'
'Whatcha doin', good boy'
The best part is that d

The best part is that daily ( at least once or twice), he comes to sit on the couch for head scratches.
He has progressed to sitting on a shoulder to interact for his daily head massage.

He lives life on his terms and is self-assured.
He absolutely loves out-of-cage time to fly, and will make it known that he wants that time.
He will put himself to bed, but most of the day, he is out freely.
