My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Hello! My name is Mango. I am 9 years old and of course I am a beautiful female Eclectus Parrot! The vet said that I have a clean bill of health. I am very quiet and I only vocalize maybe 1 time a day, otherwise I like to make clicking and cooing sounds to get your attention and to let you know that I am happy. I do pluck a little, but the vet said I will probably stop once I become more comfortable with all the changes I have been through recently. I am also slowly learning to use my feet more, but I haven't figured out what is with the toys - what are those things for, anyway? I guess I am going to have to learn because my foster Mom insists on giving them to me! She is also giving me a lot of new, healthy foods, but I really like that part! I am hoping you will come and visit me soon and make me part of your family!

UPDATE FROM FOSTER MOM:

"I wanted to give you an update about Mango. She went to work with me twice this week and will continue to do this. She seems to really enjoy this. Also I found out that she loves kids. I did not take her out for the kids to hold but she talked a mile a minute as soon as my 3yo and 7yo niece and nephew came last weekend. She just loved them to pieces. She even started talking saying Hello to them and cooing, singing, etc. Yesterday at work she started talking to me as well. I had to record it because I could not believe how much she was talking saying actual words, whistling, and clicking. She is doing so well. She still is plucking some though. Also she allows me to spray her with a water bottle so I have been able to get her little baths a few times. I am taking it slow and making sure it is at a calm time so she doesn't think it is a punishment but that it is fun. Also she grew up with two large dogs that she would walk around with and preen and that she really loved. I also think she is grieving the loss of her family but also her friends the two dogs she spent all her time with. "
