Brussels's Story
Meet Brussels!<br/>This 42-year-old Yellow-naped Amazon is a cool, chill old dude who's starting to come into his own. After spending years mostly confined to a cage following his owner's passing, Brussels has been slowly rediscovering the joys of being a parrot in foster care, and it's been a joy to watch him blossom.<br/><br/>Brussels now enjoys spending his evenings out on a swing or platform perch, hanging near people and listening to the conversation. He isn't a fan of hands coming toward him, but he will accept gentle head scritches through the bars from just about anyone. He also takes treats nicely from hands and makes a satisfied "mmmmm" when given a pistachio, which is his absolute favorite.<br/><br/>This mellow guy has started to explore his toys, chew up wooden blocks, and dig pistachios out of his foraging ball. He has nibbled on mixed vegetables and is slowly adjusting to life with other birds nearby. He's mostly quiet, not overly messy, and content to be part of the background bustle of a home.<br/><br/>Brussels would love to continue this journey in a calm, patient forever home that can appreciate his steady progress and give him the space to keep blooming at his own pace. Adoption fee - $400
