Meet Kwanzaa

Meet Kwanzaa, an African Grey Parrot. Kwanzaa used to live with Kahlua. They lost their home after their owners had children. He started plucking out his feathers after the second child was born.Their family realized that they could no longer give him the care he required, so they surrendered him to us, where we hope to find him a home where he will receive all of the attention and stimulation that such intelligent parrots require.

We don't know if he'll ever be fully feathered. Sometimes plucking becomes a habit and even when the incident that triggered the plucking is removed, parrots continue to pluck.

But anyone who looks beyond his less-than-perfect exterior will find an amazing interior!

Here he is, playing and eating at the Center:
By the time he was done, that Ziploc box was in pieces!
