Hatch date: Est 2000 

Fancy meeting you here, darling!  Are you the one I’ve been looking for my whole life?  Please, call me Patra.  I am the absolute most beautiful Moluccan Cockatoo you will ever meet! Birthday Est August 2000.

Some things you should know about me since I believe in being upfront and telling you all about myself: I am a diva – in all senses of the word.  I love to sing, and I can be loud if I think you are too far and can’t hear me.  I LOVE attention, and I would do best in a home where my primary caregiver is home most of the time.  I am a total cuddle bug, and I adore all the snuggles and scratches you can give me.  What is this fancy-schmancy thing I’m wearing, you ask?  I thought you’d never ask!  It’s the latest in feather protection jewelry.  You see, I love my showers and I love preening – one has to stay beautiful.  However, sometimes I get over-zealous in preening and I self-mutilate.  That means I cause harm to my skin, in addition to pulling my feathers out.  This tends to happen more when I’m feeling needy, but then I don’t look so pretty, then I get upset, and it becomes a vicious cycle.  So, it’s just easier for all of us if I wear it except for when it’s bath time.

I’ve been called challenging, I’ve been called fussy, but they’re just names.  I mean, all this wonderful personality that is Patra doesn’t come without a little bit of effort, and we’re not all perfect.  So, if you think we are meant to be, why don’t you look me up sometime soon?

Patra will not be adopted to an apartment, condo or townhome residence.

Patra is being fostered in Manalapan, NJ, and will only be adopted to a forever home within driving distance of the foster home. We will not ship any birds and require at least three in-person visits before adopting Patra. For the Love of Birds is a network of dedicated foster homes throughout NJ and the Philadelphia area, we have no central location. As our adoptable birds are being cared for in our volunteer homes we only allow approved adoption applicants to make visits. 

If interested in adopting Patra please complete an adoption application on our website ftlob.rescuegroups.org.
