Pippa's Story
Pippa is a female umbrella cockatoo. We are not really sure how old she is, but probably around 26. She likes to be the center of attention (have you met a cockatoo before??), and like most birds she prefers not to be alone. So we think she would do best in a home with another female cockatoo or similarly-sized bird. This would be the best way to stay ahead of dysfunctional screaming or anxiety. Pippa is still learning to try healthy real foods, but meanwhile she is eating pellets. Seeds and nuts are being used for training. Touching a bird, especially a needy cockatoo, below the neck is consider a bit "sexy." Pippa will let you know when she expects a head scratch though!<br/><br/>IMPORTANT PROCESS INFORMATION: Before we can discuss a specific bird with you, we ask that you follow our adoption and education process. Some birds are in foster homes that may adopt them, but there are many other birds waiting for our help who 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. 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<br/><br/>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/event?
