Ramon Parrot Macaw Alexander, NC

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.

Ramon is a blue and gold macaw, estimated to be about 45 years old. He lived in an outdoor aviary for years with another macaw as "breeders" although they never had chicks, and did not really have a bond. Like many birds living in captivity, he is on heart meds which must be continued for life to maintain heart health.

If he thinks you're trustworthy, he will nicely take healthy foods from you by hand. If you really, really work on building trust and a positive relationship, he might be willing to engage more interactively. Just remember, go at a bird's pace, and these things can take time!

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
