Meet Periwinkle

Meet Periwinkle, an approximately 5-6 year old blue headed pionus. Isn't she incredibly gorgeous? She also has an intoxicating musky scent she emits when she's happy.Peri lived in a home with another pionus who had been there first. Unfortunately, this other pionus did not like Peri and did everything he could to drive her out of the house. Her owner surrendered her to us for her safety.

Although she is very sweet, she is also very loud. Although pionus are frequently said to be good birds for people who live in apartments, that is not the case for her! She has a loud scream when she is unhappy. This is something that her new family will have to work with her to reduce.

She is also extremely intelligent, so will thrive in a home who will work with her to learn tricks and provide an enriching environment.

Peri will be at the Pet Expo this weekend (more information in yesterday's post), so if you'd like to meet her, stop by our booth! After this weekend, she will be at the Center, as usual.
