In the shelter’s words
Hello! My name is Big Bird and I am female Lutino Indian Ringneck. My previous owner said he named me after the big yellow bird on the kid's show, Sesame Street. He wasn't home a lot and felt I'd be happier in a home where I could get more attention.As you can see on my photo, I am plucking my feathers but I am going through phases with that --sometimes I look much better. I like fruits and pellets and some vegetables like broccoli. I eat treats from fingers, but otherwise, I don't like hands. I also enjoy out time and being around people. We ringnecks are smart and eager to learn new things.I would love to go to a home where I am loved despite my looks. Would you consider letting a little yellow bird with a red beak into your life?You can see more about me at https://mickaboo.org!
