One of the most rewarding aspects of volunteering at CARE is when a parrot falls in love with and gets adopted by a new family! We love hearing updates of how our alumni are doing, and it's so much fun when they come for a visit!
Keegan, the white-capped pionus pictured here, was adopted into a loving family last year. He came to visit last Saturday for a nail trim, and we got to see how beautiful he is. He gets tons of attention and is starting to speak. He loves every member of his new family and is very gentle with the children. Additionally, his family has begun clicker training him, to let his intelligence shine through!
Pionus parrots can make fantastic pets. They are a manageable size and often have gentle demeanors. They are extremely intelligent and not too loud! They are also gorgeous, especially when natural light reflects off of their feathers.
A big thank you goes out to Keegan's new family for providing him with such a fantastic life!
