Sammy's Story

Sammy Harlequin Macaw<br/><br/>Meet Sammy, a handsome Harlequin Macaw with a big personality and an even bigger desire to be part of whatever youre doing!<br/><br/>Like most macaws, Sammy can be a little headstrong—but thats all part of his charm. Hes currently learning that people and hands arent something to be afraid of, and hes making wonderful progress. Sammy steps up willingly, takes treats like a perfect gentleman, and has even started enjoying head scratches through the cage bars. Were still working on those scratches while hes out and about, but hes getting more comfortable every day.<br/><br/>One of Sammys best qualities is how much he loves being involved. He enjoys spending time out of his cage and wants to be right in the middle of the action, whether youre cleaning, watching TV, or just relaxing. He doesnt need to be the center of attention—he simply wants to be included.<br/><br/>Unlike many macaws, Sammy is surprisingly quiet. He isnt one to constantly make his presence known with loud vocalizations, making him a wonderful companion for someone who appreciates a calmer large parrot.<br/><br/>And if youre wondering about his entertainment preferences... Sammys favorite movie is Minions! Put it on the TV, and youll have one happy bird.<br/><br/>Sammy is looking for an experienced large parrot home that understands macaw behavior and will continue building his confidence through patience, trust, and positive reinforcement.

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.
