Kahlua Update

Kahlua, the senegal we introduced to you last month, is still here. He was helping us to stock the shelves last week. And by helping, I mean keeping us company! What else could you ask for from a parrot?Sometimes we get parrots who are so well-mannered we don't understand why they haven't been adopted yet. Kahlua is one of those parrots. Many poicephalus parrot are one person birds, and it's certainly possible that Kahlua will be one in a home environment, but at the Center, he has been an absolute delight to everyone.

He is very intelligent and curious. His eyes are constantly pinning, as a sign of interest, and he mumbles in his hard-to-understand senegal speak. He frequently laughs along with us, and is a joy to be around.

Of course, he is a wild animal, so there are no guarantees on his behavior in a private home; however we feel strongly that in a loving home where he is provided with the right environment, including activities to keep his mind and body active and healthy, he will be a much-beloved addition to the family. It's just hard to believe that he hasn't become so already!
