Matcha

Matcha is a 4 year old quaker AKA a monk parakeet. We don't know his or her gender yet. A sweet bird but like most quakers is territorial about the cage. That's ok, it's natural! It is always easier to let a quaker come out of the cage before trying to change paper or toys, there's no need to "win." Matcha appreciates time out of the cage, of course, but even with the door open will stay busy on or inside the cage - what a great attribute to have some independence! Quakers, including Matcha, often spend time on the ground. So he needs a home with no predatory pets. Matcha likes several healthy foods like cucumbers, pears, blueberries, cherries, and Nutri-berries. Safflower seeds are a very motivating treat, so save those for training (like going in or out of the cage)! As it starts getting dark, he will say "go nite nite?" - adorable, right? Like many other quakers, Matcha has some feather loss. 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. She is an especially good fit for someone who works from home, as she enjoys to be around people, but she doesn’t need to be the center of attention. 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 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 Thanks for helping parrots!
