Coco's Story

Coco is a 37 year old male blue and gold macaw. He eats a variety of healthy foods, including fresh vegetables and fruits. As food motivated as he seems, we think he's a great candidate for training, though! He has been around other macaws all his life, so might be good company for someone with other large birds or another male macaw. He will dance when there is a good beat and when the mood strikes him. He would also do well in a behavior-savvy home.<br/><br/>For over 30 years, Coco lived in a super sized indoor/outdoor aviary (as big as a building). He's now in one of our 80" wide adoption center cages, but this still seems small to him. He loves to come out of course, but going back in is a challenge. Do you have other macaws that live in an open space environment? He would love that, with lots of climbing and movement activities, maybe safe things hanging from the ceiling.<br/> <br/>IMPORTANT PROCESS INFORMATION: 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/>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

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.
