Greta's Story
Meet Greta, a 5-year-old lovebird with a big personality and lots of opinions! <br/><br/>Greta came to STAR with a fear that is fairly typical of companion birds-- hands. That was her big hurdle, and her foster family jumped right in to show her that hands aren't scary-- they can also provide treats, transportation, and someday, scritches.<br/><br/>Greta's fosters have been working with her to establish trust, which she has been enjoying immensely (especially the part where she gets her favorite treat as a reward-- millet!). She has made great progress learning how to interact with humans (and their appendages). <br/><br/>But don't let that quirk dissuade you! Greta is incredibly people-oriented and enjoys attention and spending time with people, so we are hopeful that her progress will continue with the right home, routine, and consistency. <br/><br/>Already, she is comfortable perching on knees and shoulders and has been making leaps and bounds in target/clicker training. She is very curious about people, and she even stretches when people approach her cage, preparing for activity. <br/><br/>Greta will do best in a household that is comfortable continuing the progress that she's made in foster care, and would be okay with some sweet lovebird chatter!<br/><br/>Adoption fee: $60
