Meet Pete

Since the rest of the large macaws currently up for adoption have recently been featured on the blog, we wanted to introduce you to Pete. He's an approximately 20 year old Harlequin macaw. You can't find Harlequin macaws in the wild -- he's a mixture of blue-and gold and greenwing macaws.

Pete was recently living with a smoker, which most likely contributed to the feather destruction you see here. The giant bulge you see -- that's his crop. It's easy to tell when Pete's recently eaten! And boy, does he have an appetite -- this is the way he usually looks.Pete is very affectionate and is an attention-junkie. He's looking for a family that will include him in their daily activities. He'd love to sit in your lap while you watch TV, help you eat breakfast and read the paper, and provide supervision while doing (bird-safe) chores.When Pete finds his family, we'll be sad to see him go, of course, but happy that he'll be receiving the care and attention he desires and deserves. Hopefully that day will soon come!
