Pepe's Story

Pepe is one of our Congo African Greys here at A Helping Wing, and he’s truly something special! He’s an independent guy who entertains himself for hours with an impressive array of sounds and whistles (you’ll never need to buy a sound machine again). He’s been making great progress — stepping up to come out of his cage, exploring his play area, and even allowing a few head scritches when he’s in the mood.<br/><br/>Pepe isn’t a “step off the truck and snuggle” kind of bird — and that’s okay! Building trust with a parrot is about patience and respect, and Pepe is looking for a person who understands that being allowed into a parrot’s personal bubble is something you earn over time.<br/><br/>What Pepe Needs:<br/><br/>A calm, experienced home (previous parrot experience preferred)<br/>Someone willing to commit to multiple visits to build a bond before adoption<br/>A home that understands African Grey quirks — they’re clever, sensitive, and thrive on routine and enrichment<br/><br/>Our Adoption Process:<br/><br/>Complete our online application at www.ahelpingwing.org.<br/>Provide disease testing results for any current birds.<br/>Home visit (to ensure a safe environment).<br/>Multiple visits here at the rescue to build a connection — think of it as “parrot speed dating.”<br/><br/>If you’re ready to take the time to win over a brilliant, quirky, and talkative companion, Pepe might just be your guy.

A Helping Wing Parrot Rescue's Adoption Policy
The first step in our process is to complete the online application on our website at ahelpingwing.org After I receive, we will be in touch to review your information and with any questions we may have. There are multiple visits required to interact with the bird you connect with. Your first visit is what I compare to speed dating, you will meet many wonderful and sweet birds and we see who you connect with, attention is paid for how birds respond, we base our adoptions on the birds input and tell all adopters that when we let the bird choose, it's always a good match! During the visit time frame, we typically perform a home visit as well. The home visit is a great chance to review bringing home a rescue bird, where to setup cages, dangers in the home that many people may not consider, diet, daily routines, etc.
