Shortcake

Shortcake is a young female rosey bourke parakeet that was found in Jacksonville and no owner ever claimed her. She has been in foster for a few months and knows her name! She is a fiesty little one who is getting along well in a flight cage with a budgie and a cockatiel (thrives in a flock environment) with a little out of cage time each day in an attempt to get her used to being handled. Initially terrified of hands, she will require someone with lots of patience, experience & time in that area. 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. 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 IMPORTANT!! 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 Thanks for helping parrots!
