Josh is very tame and friendly, but he does have a health issue. His hips are fine, but he has almost no range of motion in his knees and hocks, which means he can't grip very well and is usually hunched over. He has severe arthritis -- those joints are almost fused together.
It's unlikely that Josh will ever regain range of motion in these joints, but we can make him more comfortable. This includes making sure he has rope perches and platforms in his cage, as well as medication (glucosamine/chondroitin and pain meds) for the rest of his life, which runs around $40/month.
Josh does have a very sweet personality, and is looking for a home equipped to deal with a special needs parrot. As always, stop by if you'd like to meet him!
