Rukhmar

Rukhmar, or Ruru, is a 12 year old jenday conure. He is very interactive and wants to be in the middle of everything happening. So be prepared for lots of conure busy-ness. Conures do enjoy being around other conures, group happiness just like in the wild.<br/><br/>Rukhmar has learned to go to shoulders, a hard habit to change once it starts. There go the earrings! Finding a way to motivate birds to have "places to go and things to do" can help shape to change this behavior. But he's not too keen on hands for now, always best to take time to build a relationship no matter a bird's personality or past.<br/><br/>Rukhmar enjoys shreddable toys like wicker balls and finger traps. He will obsessively bathe in his water when it's refreshed. If he doesn't have a trust relationship with you, he will seek a private spot to hide behind, that's fair! Ru loves to babble when you talk with him, or whistle back and forth. And a dance party? Anytime!<br/><br/>Jendays, like sun conures, have a louder pitch than other conures. Make sure that's something you can live with.<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<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/events<br/><br/>Thanks for helping parrots!<br/>Phoenix Landing Foundation<br/>www.phoenixlanding.org
