Mango is a young female Jenday Conure. She came to us in October 2010. She is approximately about 5 years old. She came to us after her previous owner moved away, and the gentleman who had taken her in discovered he wasn't really a bird person. He contacted us to see if we could help.
Mango is still undergoing her 30 Day Evaluation. However, she is very intelligent, and a fast learner. She loves to sing- she thinks she can sing opera, we think. She also loves to whistle and make balloon type noises. She can be a little loud at times when she's not getting the attention she wants.
She is already being retrained for her nipping. She startles easily, and automatically attempts to nip. Or if she doesn't want to cooperate, she attempts to nip. She is quickly learning, in a positive way, that nipping is not acceptable. This seems to be her only issue regarding a need for retraining or rehabilitation. She is currently fostering with our Founder in Shelton, WA.
She is easy to handle, and loves to cuddle on your shoulder, or on your chest just below your chin.
We hope to have her ready for adoption around Thanksgiving. Mango already has several people interested in adopting her.
