As you may remember, we were stressing over whether or not to get a parrot for my in-laws, well, the deed is done.
Popcorn, a 10 yo U2, has a new family.
We had more or less decided against it, then we found out Popcorn was still looking for a home - we thought he had been adopted. After researching is previous family and his personality, we felt this was a good fit. The pic above is from January, the first time we met him. He's apparently kind of shy and doesn't take to people right away. But when he saw my father-in-law, he stepped right up and stayed on his shoulder the whole time we were there.
His orignial family is an older couple who had to surrender him on doctor's orders - the "mom" has serious lung issues and a dusty bird aggrivated them. He's not clipped but flies only as a last resort - he just doesn't feel that it's necessary. He love to travel and is "potty trained". He talks but not very clearly and we're trying to figure out exactly what he's trying to say.
He was at our breeder's until he found a new home but she didn't have the time to spend with him so he's at our house for the next couple of weeks until my in-laws can come pick him up. We've had him for about 2 days and he's doing pretty well - considering that his life has been in unheaval for the past couple of months. He's really enjoying the human contact.
Max looked at him once and has since pretty much ignored him. Jade, on the other hand, is not amused. She hasn't been agressive but she doesn't like him to sit on her people.
