Meet Tarzan

Meet Tarzan, a wild caught African Grey Parrot. We don't know how old he is. Tarzan was very loved, but had to be surrendered because his owner became very sick and is no longer able to care for him. He is a very wily bird as he was unexpectedly alone in the house for several days when his owner took ill outside of the home and was taken straight to the hospital. Through a series of very generous people who gave their time to get him out, he made his way to us. We weren't sure if he'd even be alive after so long alone, but Tarzan is a survivor!In his home, Tarzan was out most of the day, but wasn't handled much. After having lived with one person for so long, he was rather scared when he first came to the Center. However, over the past few weeks, he's been settling in nicely.

He is very vocal and interacts with people. He also recently started nicely taking treats from volunteers' hands!
Tarzan will be the perfect companion for someone who lives a relatively quiet life and wants a buddy. His new owner must be patient and not put too many expectations on him. After all, he hatched as a chick in Africa over 20 years ago. He's seen a lot in his time, including some things that were probably very scary and sad.
