Oscar's Story

Oscar is a 23 year old female Camelot macaw. Camelots are 2nd generation hybrids (scarlet macaw crossed with a hybrid Catalina). Like many relinquishers, her original family was faced with medical challenges which made it hard to provide enough time and resources for Oscar. It's hard to care for a long-lived bird all their lives!<br/><br/>In Oscar's earliest days when large birds were still sold at big box stores, Oscar fell off the perch and broke her leg. It was pinned and casted, repaired fully by an avian vet, thank goodness.<br/><br/>She says "hello" and "good bye", and please keep those shreddable and wood block toys coming, there is a very big beak that needs to stay busy!<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

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.
