Amos Parrot Amazon Bethesda, MD

Amos is a 41+ year female blue front Amazon. She is wild caught, as are many birds that age, especially Amazons. She recently came to us when her person became too ill to care for her, but she had been on an unhealthy diet, little enrichment, and very little freedom for a long time. We're glad she's on a better path now!

She has had high bile acids, also common for birds that have been on a bad diet (seeds, peanuts, sunflower..). But the good news is that her liver is improve with the proper diet! Amos is enjoying much better nourishment, interaction, enrichment, and the vet care every bird deserves - so her personality continues to blossom and her quality-of-life improve.

Before we can discuss a specific bird with you, we ask that you follow our adoption process. Some birds are in foster homes that may adopt them, many other birds are waiting for our help and are not yet posted in PetFinders. The adoption coordinator in your area will work with you to find the best home for each bird, and a species and personality that works best for your family too. We want to set everyone up for success, especially our parrots.

To get started, the adoption process includes completing our parrot match application and attending one of our core classes. You can find information about this process on our website at www.phoenixlanding.org/adopt.

AREAS OF OPERATION: Phoenix Landing serves only Maryland, Washington D.C., Virginia, North Carolina, and northeast Florida. We do not ship birds. However, everyone is welcome and encouraged to join us for our online events. Parrots are unique and they deserve us to be informed caretakers. There are also many past event recordings available which you may find helpful. All event information can be found at www.phoenixlanding.org/events
