My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.

Hatch Date: 2013
 
Wally is an 11 year old, DNA sexed female, Green Cheek Conure.
 
Wally is a vocal girl. She LOVES strawberries, grapes and a daily splash in her bath. She also loves to snuggle and sleep with a fuzzy wallet.
 
She is nippy, (which is common in green cheek conures) and only likes to be handled on her terms.
Wally does not know the step-up command. When a finger is placed in front of her, she doesn't know what to do and will just nip at it. 
 
Wally did not fly when her current family brought her home, however, she has learned, (with the help of a cockatiel) to fly since she's been in her home. She likes to be out of her cage and has free range of the downstairs. She will take laps around the downstairs. However, she mostly stays on top of, in and around her cage. Her cage is kept open all day long and she is only put in her cage when no one is home or at bedtime. 
 
Wally has another bird, a cockatiel, as a companion. However, she would likely do fine on her own. She isn't interested in interacting with the other bird and has even shown some signs of aggression toward her.
 
Wally did not fly in her previous home, but she has since learned to fly. She has improved tremendously, although still not great at it. 
 
Wally is on a seed and fresh fruit diet. So far she has been resistant to transitioning to pellets. 
 
Wally is looking for a family who can accept her idiosyncrasies, such as typical nippiness, and not expect her to step up or always wanting to interact. 
 
Wally is participating in our Help With Rehoming program and is living in Wernersville, PA   and will only be adopted to a forever home within driving distance. We will not ship our birds. 

Wally is living in a private home; we only allow approved applicants to make visits.  If interested in adopting Wally, please visit our website ftlob.rescuegroups.org  to read our adoption policies & procedures and to complete an adoption application.

Their adoption process

Additional adoption info

The adoption procedure begins with completing an adoption application and returning it to us. We will check your references and then call you for a telephone interview. While we check your references, we will ask that you review an educational power point presentation. After your application is approved, it is our policy that you visit with the bird(s) three times to have multiple interactions with them and give you time to consider the adoption and get ready for your new family member. There is an adoption fee for each bird.
