Meet Gracie

Meet Gracie, a female African Grey. Gracie has only been with us for a few weeks, so she is still coming out of her shell.

Gracie was very loved in her previous home; however, her owner realized that Gracie was unhappy and she wasn't getting what she needed in her current home. She decided to let her go, so she could find someone who could better meet her needs.African grey parrots can be a challenge to keep properly in captivity, as they are incredibly intelligent. Most parrots are, but greys are among those that suffer the most in captivity when their complex emotional needs aren't met.

Frequently, as with Gracie, they take their frustrations out in feather destructive behavior.

Gracie is looking for a home that will work hard to meet her physical and emotional needs. She'd love to have a forever home where she can feel part of the family. She'll stay with us until we find that family, but if you'd like to meet Gracie, please stop by the Center!
