Mango is an approximately 6 y/o DNA tested male cockatiel.

As you can see from his pictures, he is extremely handsome and he loves it when you talk to him! 

 

He has been an only bird his entire life, however, we have discovered that he does wonderfully with other birds, especially cockatiels.  He will mimic every move and sound and exhibits a yearning for a buddy and companionship.  

 

Currently at his foster home, he loves being around the other birds in the home.

He is still getting used to human interaction and we have been working with him on learning how to step up, but he would rather just sit with you and talk or hang out.  He's afraid of hands from past trauma, but in time, this may change.   All of a sudden he will just bust out into a beautiful song, as he is also learning his voice.

 

He loves looking out the window and has started discovering the toys and paper in his cage.  He loves to shred paper when he's hanging out on the bottom of the cage chilling, which is something he's continued to do since we got him, even though he has a whole big new cage to himself.    

Mango is looking for a wonderful and patient family (preferably with a male buddy for him) to love and work with him on hand training and companionship.  He has a very gentle demeanor and would do great in a home with another calmer male Tiel for a buddy.  

 

He has tons of potential,  so a family with lots of patience and understanding is a must!

There can also be no dogs or cats in the home, as Mango has previous trauma from a dog who consistently barked at him.  

 

Mango is currently on a strict pellet diet, which he has acclimated to beautifully.

He has also been vetted, disease tested, and given a clean bill of health.

 

Mango is being fostered in Hillsborough, NJ, and will only be adopted to a forever home within driving distance. 

We will NOT ship our birds.

Educating potential adopters and the public is essential to reducing the problem of unwanted birds being kept in captivity and providing those birds living in homes with the best lives possible.
