Meet Dustin

Meet Dustin, an approximately 2 year old Hoffman's conure. (Get his name?) Hoffman's belong to the quieter Pyrrhura family, like green cheek conures, as opposed to the louder Aratinga family, like cherry-head conures. They can still be noisy, but usually not at the same level as the Aratingas!

Dustin was purchased because his owner wanted to breed Hoffman's conures. However, after this individual thought about the overpopulation of parrots that already exists, she decided not to add to the problem and to surrender Dustin so he can live out his life as part of a family.
We are still getting to know Dustin. He is a little flighty, but appears to love being with people. Once he gets used to being around people, he will settle down even more and we suspect he'll make a great addition to someone's family! If you'd like to meet him, please stop by!
