Terry

Terry is a male Scarlet Macaw who is estimated to be in his late 20’s. He has been vetted and disease tested (Psittacosis, PBFD & Pacheos). Terry has trust issues, especially with men, but once he warms up he’s a very loving macaw. He needs a home where someone will have the patience to work with him, no young children, no dogs or cats. He will hang out on a java tree all day, will wave and say “hello” or “bye bye” and his favorite thing to do when being loving is shove his head down your shirt and talk. He will bite if he doesn’t like you or if someone he doesn’t like gets too close to his person. Loves his toy bucket and hanging toys. Will target train for the right reinforcement- almonds, walnuts, pine nuts are a favorite. Sharing a snack with him is a way to his heart, loves watching tv (cartoons are a favorite). Will sometimes let himself out of his cage at night, doesn’t do any destruction thankfully. He’s on a fresh food, Roudybush Pellet diet with nuts, nutriberries and birdie bread! 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
