Horacio Parrot African Grey Fairfax, VA

Horacio is a very charming 31 year old female African grey. She is very good at entertaining herself, but enjoys interaction with family as well. She spent some time in a home with another grey, and as you can see from the photo, they seemed to enjoy the interacation.

Horacio has had a pretty good diet of fresh foods and pellets (minus the meat, potatoes, and chips which are now not on her menu!). She says some words but mostly chooses to whistle, mimic beeps, and pops- so African grey! She does expect you to repeat what she is doing, her way of having a conversation.

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.

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

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

Thanks for helping parrots!
