Hope

Hope is a 15 year old female Eclectus. Her adopter was recently lost to Covid and cancer, and during her illness, Hope's feather condition and good diet suffered. The good news is that she is now growing many feathers back at a fairly quick pace. However, whole fresh foods are essential for Eclectus parrots, their digestive systems are unique. So it's important to be committed to chopping and cooking!<br/><br/>We don't recommend keeping male and female Eclectus in the same home. These birds mate for longer periods in the wild, and those behaviors can transfer to our homes. Females sit on the nest for many months in the wild. So in captivity, it helps to have many play areas, especially high things, maybe hanging from the ceiling. This will prevent a bird from wandering around the floor looking for a nest, or wanting to bite when you try to get them to a safer place. And don't forget, touching below the neck on any parrot is "sexy"! and to be avoided.<br/><br/>The best way to learn more about our birds is to complete our parrot match application, found under the "Adoption" tab on our website, www.phoenixlanding.org. The folks who help answer PetFinders inquiries cannot tell you about specific individuals.<br/><br/>After you complete our online core class (recommended for anyone!) you will be connected with the adoption coordinator for your area. Attending one of our core parrot care classes is also required in order to adopt a parrot. A list of them may be found at https://www.phoenixlanding.org/events.html. Those classes that count as part of the adoption process are noted with an icon beside their title.<br/><br/>Phoenix Landing offers educational classes and facilitates parrot adoptions in Maryland, D.C., Virginia, North Carolina, and northern Florida. Phoenix Landing does not ship birds.
