Meet Jerry

Meet Jerry, a mousebird. He stayed at the Center for several months while looking for the right home. Mousebirds (micebird?) are not very common in captivity. They do well when housed with other mousebirds.

Jerry was so social that he even perked up when housed near finches! He wouldn't be happy as an only mousebird, so we kept up the hunt for a home for him where he could have a companion.

And wouldn't you know that we found that home for Jerry? His new owner is very experienced with mousebirds. She was able to cuddle him immediately upon meeting him -- it was love at first sight for both of them!

She's told us that he gets along well with her other mousebird. What a happy ending for Jerry!
