Mango's Story...
Mango is a high-energy ~12 year old Blue and Gold Macaw. She needs an adopter who is confident with large birds and willing to work with her to increase her good skills. Mango enjoys time around other birds of her own size and would likely be a great addition to a home with another macaw. She eats a wonderful diet including pellets, fresh vegetables, fruit, and sprouts. Mango's favorites foods are sweet potato and walnuts. She will bathe in the shower or take a bath in her bowl when the vacuum is running, which becomes the perfect opportunity to help her out and give her a spray bath. Mango steps up, but needs a home that will work with her in a positive way to help her step up a bit more readily. When she doesn't want to step up, that offers a great opportunity to work on skills like flapping, wings up, and other tricks. Mango already knows wings up and flaps, which will help you gain her trust and give her positive reinforcement. Mango also loves to play fetch - she's the one who throws the ball and the humans fetch. She's looking forward to playing with you!

In addition to Mango, Phoenix Landing has other Macaws and many other birds of all sizes and species and for all levels of experience. We'd be happy to work with you to find your great bird match!
