Meet Pepper

Meet Pepper, an approximately 16 year old red lory. We're still waiting for Pepper's DNA certificate, so we're not sure if Pepper is male or female.
Pepper was surrendered because his owner is dying of cancer. Although he was very loved, his owner did not feed him a proper diet -- he was fed fruit loops as a staple, along with the occasional grape. It is likely that this improper care will result in a shortened lifespan for Pepper.

Given that, we want to make sure that the time he has left with us is as happy as possible! We haven't had him long, but so far he is a very sweet bird. Once he is cleared medically, he will be looking for a forever home.We'd love for Pepper's new owner to have lory experience, but an educated person willing to learn could also provide a great home.

If you think this could be you, please stop by to meet him!
