Chimo's Story...
Chimo is a Congo African Grey who loves to forage and chatter. Chimo prefers mainly hands-off attention and is learning to step up onto a perch -- but he does gently takes items, such as treats, from your hand. He seems to like just having someone around, but doesn't crave direct interaction. He is used to being around other birds, but, doesn't seek to interact with them either. He is a good talker and loves to repeat his name. Chimo needs to learn to eat a healthier diet -- he is being offered a good variety of vegetables and fruits so he will begin to eat them and this must also continue in his adoptive home. He has learned to like apples and bananas so far and he is eating Harrison's pellets. Chimo has grown to love foraging (looking for hidden foods or treats). He would be a great addition to a home that is willing to work at his pace and treasure his talents.
