Marcel's Story

Meet Marcel! This sweet, charming cockatiel is full of personality and ready to find a loving forever home. Marcel is an assumed male cockatiel, estimated to be between three to four years-old. He was rescued from a neglectful home with an improper diet and spent three years of his live without coming out of a cage. After just a few months in his foster home, Marcel has overcome his fear of hands and steps up when prompted. He's learned to fly but is still working on his landings and recall training. He's a very sweet boy who enjoys whistling, getting his head feathers petted, spending time sitting with his people, exploring his home, and shredding toys. He's still learning to eat a varied diet, but enjoys herbs (dill, basil, thyme), leafy greens like dandelions and arugula, and is adjusting to pellets and some cooked grains.<br/><br/>We believe Marcel previously lived with another cockatiel, and he seems open to having a feathered companion again with careful introduction. However, Marcel firmly believes that "birds of a feather should stick together" and to similary sizes- he does not get along with smaller species (like budgies) and can act aggressively towards them.<br/><br/>If you're looking for a delightful cockatiel companion, Marcel would love to meet you.<br/><br/>PEARL is a registered 501(c)3 nonprofit located in Pittsburgh PA. PEARL adopts within 100 miles of Pittsburgh. To adopt with PEARL, visit www.pearlparrots.com to submit an adoption application.

PEARL Parrot Rescue's Adoption Policy
Thank you for considering adopting your new feathered companion through PEARL Parrot Rescue. It is estimated that approximately 85% of birds purchased are rehomed or abandoned within the first two years of ownership. By considering adoption you are helping put an end to this crisis affecting companion parrots in the United States. In order to adopt from PEARL, all potential adopters must complete our three step adoption process. This includes an application, participation in our Standards of Care Class, and consent to a home check. Regardless of whether you have had or currently have birds, classes are required. We want to ensure that all our potential adopters are equipped with the knowledge to properly care for a parrot. During these classes we discuss our expectations on caging, diet, enrichment, training, and so much more.
