Elliot had been hand tame, but has spent the last several years in his cage. Elliot's foster mom is working with building trust and getting him comfortable to hang around people again. He is making great progress.

Elliot used to live with another cockatiel, who sadly passed away a few years ago. In his foster home he chirps and sings to the other small birds in the home. He likes to come out of his cage and sit on a boing attached to the cage.  Elliot would do well in a home with other small birds or kept in a family room where he can be part of the action.. Due to his advanced age, he should not be in a home with young children. 

Elliot is full flighted and is adept at flying short distances.
