Brotogeris 4 adoption

A member of my Broto forum has decided to put her Orange chin up for adoption, he is beyond adorable...He is sweet as pie ..Tuki is located in AZ

A bit from her e-mail :

I have thought this over very carefully and I really think this is best for Tuki. Here he isn't getting the attention he needs and deserves. He has
great potential, and is a very sweet bird with enough one on one attention. He was coming along fine for me with the Clicker Training, then we
got Sunny. I tried to get them to be friends but one time when Sunny was trying to be a friend to Tuki, Tuki hacked at her eye. Fortunately she is OK.
But I can't have them out together again.

He was 2 years old last May. I am asking $250.00, but I am more interested in getting him a good home than getting my asking price.

He is healthy and eats very well! Loves his bath on top of his cage.
If someone buys him that can pick him up his cage and his favorite cage accessories will go with the deal for $50 more. If not and a new owner would want him shipped, I have the shipping crate I got him in from Gloria. I have all his paperwork too. The new owner would have to pay for shipping.

I would prefer Tuki be picked up here at my home and not shipped, but that is only my preference.

If you know anything about broto's then you know this guy will go fast they are rare...other members of this family include grey cheeks.white-wings,golden-wings,orange chins,etc

Just thought I'd pass the opportunity on

Hope he gets a quality home.

The original 'pocket parrot'. I read a lot about them but no one has any in my area - they were on my short list until i got into Budgies. They used to be the most popular parrot going in the 70's but once other parrots became available they fell out of fashion. I read about a breeding program that started up in the states to bring them back.

He looks really interesting. Hope we hear about his new home - maybe get another member here so we can hear even more.
