Meet Cuddles

Meet Cuddles, a severe macaw. We don't know exactly how old Cuddles is, but she lived in her last home for 18 years, so she is most likely in her early 20s. She is very skinny and has very poor feather quality, as you can kind of see from this picture. When she was surrendered, her nails were so long it was obvious that she hadn't been handled in a very long time.Cuddles will frequently ask for a "cracker?" but we're not quite sure what she means by that. Everything cracker-like that we've tried has been dropped on the floor, uneaten! She also says "hello" or "hi bird" when someone enters the room.

She is not yet up for adoption as we need to fatten her up a bit and get her to a normal weight.

Severe macaws are typically among the more challenging species of parrot for us to place. They tend to be one-person birds. They also can be quite nippy. Additionally, they are very intelligent and have a knack for dreaming up trouble!

Cuddles will most likely be up for adoption in the next couple of weeks.
