About Holly | |

|
Hatch Date 2007
Holly is such a sweet love bird who was recently surrendered. She is always excited to be taken out of her cage and willingly steps up on demand. She is good with men, women, and teenagers. She will happily hang out on your finger, but if you don’t pet her, she will nudge your thumb with her head asking for scratches. She will sit on your shoulder and watch tv or youtube videos with you (she loves talking back to videos of other love birds). She even hops around on my daughter’s bed while she is doing her homework. Please consider Holly as a wonderful addition to your home.
Please note Holly will require regular visits to the vet for a minor scissor beak

Special Needs: curvature of beak will need beak trims: Scissors Beak - also known as Crooked Beak or Lateral Beak Deviation - is a condition where the upper beak is not straight and does not meet correctly over the lower beak. This is most commonly seen in cockatoos and macaws, but can occur in any species. It is rarely seen in parent raised birds and it is thought that parents may assist beak development by locking onto the rhinotheca when feeding the chicks.Several theories as to what the cause of this condition include improper artificial incubation or feeding techniques, heredity or, if developing over time, improper nutrition. The avian vet may trim the upper beak, cutting off the tusk and reshaping both the upper and lower beak. Persistent trimming will eventually result in both upper and lower beak growing normally. Incorrect trimming may worsen the condition. This should only be undertaken by someone skilled and trained in this procedure. This condition may sometimes be corrected with an acrylic appliance. In some major cases, surgery may be necessary.
