Meet Petey

Petey is a parrotlet. However, he needs you to understand that he is a BIG BIRD. Don't let his size fool you. He is full of personality. He doesn't necessarily wish to step up onto a hand. If he wants to come to you, he'll fly his little body over to you, thank you very much! He's fast, too! But, he is good about stepping up onto a rope perch when needed, like those times when maybe he has sassed his way into trouble. Because he really is a big bird trapped in a tiny body, he must be watched carefully around other birds or animals so he doesn't himself get into trouble - which of course he is intent on doing. He is a busy bird. He needs to remain flighted because he has many places to go and things to supervise! He is happy to share feedback, too, and always lets us know we are too slow when bringing dinner!

Some favorite treats are walnuts and Nutriberries.

Interested in learning more about Petey?

The best way to learn more about him is to complete our parrot match application, found under the "Adoption" tab on our website, www.phoenixlanding.org and send it in so 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.

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.
