Forrest

Hello everyone! My name is Forrest and per the Vet's estimate, I am possibly around 15 years old. I am a male Eclectus. Don't be fooled by the loss of my feathers, since I've been settling in at my foster home, I am starting to grow feather fluff! I am considered a Special Needs parrot . I had a “twisted” wing but the vet has put my wing in the correct position and I am currently healing. When I am out of my cage, my preference is to walk around on the floor to explore. I am a known sock thief and rag murderer, so all fallen cloth beware. I am such a silly little guy! I Like to “kiss and run"! If you lay on the floor with me, I will walk over, tap your arm, make a kissing sound, then scurry away. I will not bite unless I am being held and I feel insecure, like I may fall. I prefer males, so I would love my primary caretaker to be male. Once I like you, I will follow you everywhere! I will learn where you keep the snacks and I do perform for treats. As you can see, I am mostly plucked, and with my wing issue, I cannot flutter to the ground well. It is best to keep me low to the ground at all times when out of my cage. My amazing foster mom has placed a thick dog bed pad on the floor in front of my cage door in case I come out quickly when my door is opened. I have such a sweet personality and am not aggressive. I really like to wander and explore, so it would be best if I am not adopted into a home with small children, dogs, or cats. If you would love to meet me, fill out the application below! Forrest would love a "Welcome to Foster" gift. You can view his wishlist here: https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/J5PHQMZW86E2?ref_=wl_share Foster Location: Clermont, Fl Interested in adoption?
