Ziggy's Story

Ziggy is a female Congo African grey, 26 years old. She was with the same person all her life until her owner became ill and could no longer provide good care, and Ziggy became cage bound. We've given her a bigger cage, a varied diet, and she's scheduled for her wellness visit with an avian veterinarian shortly. She supposedly has a wide vocabulary, but we don't know her well enough yet to know what that entails. Ziggy loves listening to music and nature TV. She used to fly, we hope that she can do that again! Way too many parrots have heart disease because they don't get to exercise enough.<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

Phoenix Landing Foundation's Adoption Policy
Understanding the attributes of various parrot species is important. It is also essential to make sure that the personal connection between each individual parrot and the adopting family is just right. We want our families and birds to succeed for many years. The first step is to send an application, begin talking with us, and attend our educational seminars. Our goal is to help each parrot find stability and the best possible place to call home. We want to set you and a bird up for success, this is why in most cases we prefer to do a home visit. This usually happens after you join us for a class, and before a bird is placed.

Ziggy is from Phoenix Landing Foundation
