Bobo is a very beautiful, 3-year-old male cockatiel.
Bobo has had a complicated first few years of life.
He came in as part of a pair with his cage mate, Coco.
After they were surrendered, we found Bobo was aggressive and was bullying Coco.
It became apparent that the two of them were not bonded.
We decided to separate them, and Coco is now part of a new flock in a great new home.
We found that Bobo does do well with other birds and enjoys being around them, but he just needs to find the right friend.
For this reason, Bobo MUST be adopted out only to a home that has at least another bird, preferably a larger breed bird,
to preserve his good mental health.
He has come a long way, and during his year in foster, he has reached some huge milestones
His vocabulary has expanded - ' Hi, the Bobes'
'Are you a good boy, Bobee?'
'Whatcha doin', good boy'
The best part is that daily ( at least once or twice), he comes to sit on the couch for head scratches.
He has progressed to sitting on a shoulder to interact for his daily head massage.
He lives life on his terms and is self-assured.
He absolutely loves out-of-cage time to fly, and will make it known that he wants that time.
He will put himself to bed, but most of the day, he is out freely.
Bobo loves to admire himself in any mirror and will place his seeds on the ledge of his mirror to watch himself eat.
Bobo tends to be a bit cage aggressive; because of this, he will not do well if he has to share his cage with another bird.
Similarly, he doesn't like people with their hands in his cage for feeding, cleaning, etc.
He becomes aggressive and has flown at and bitten his foster mom a couple of times.
This is a very common bird behavior, but it isn't difficult to manage, as long as everyone is aware to use caution near his cage.
Bobo is very young and has many years ahead of him, so we are looking for someone with the time to work with him
him and form a bond that will last the rest of his life.
He is a confident bird whose trust needs to be earned and boundaries respected.
Bobo is being fostered in Howell, NJ
He will only be adopted to a forever home within driving distance.
We will NOT ship our birds.
For the Love of Birds is a group of dedicated foster homes throughout NJ and Eastern PA -
