Edith is an 11yo female Severe Macaw. She has been plucking for about 7 years now , but we are not seeing any of this behavior at the moment. You can see that follicle damage has occurred on her chest, but are hoping for some new growth in other areas soon.She is on a all pellet and fresh food diet, NO seeds :) She is a Macaw so noise is expected (sometimes a loud call or two) , but over all she is a quieter Macaw.Edith seems to prefer women, and will do well in a home that has one as a primary care provider. She is also good , so far , with men , but if the lady of the home is near by , she will be more interested in her ;) She is NOT good with Children. Also , not very happy with Dogs coming by her cage.We understand that she can fly when she wants to , but it is very rarely so far. She has also climbed down from her cage to venture on the floorfor a bit . Edith is a sweet bird, but you will get a strong pinch if you are not awareof reading body language ;) We are not quite sure how she is with other birds just yet.She is still new to her foster home, and getting the feel for everyone and everything around her :D
Edith is being fostered in Leonardo, NJ and will only be adopted to a home within driving distance; we do not ship our adoptable birds. For the Love of Birds is a network of dedicated foster home throughout NJ and Eastern PA, we have no central location. As our adoptable birds are living in volunteer homes, we only allow approved applicants to meet our birds. If interested in meeting Edith please review our adoption policies and complete an adoption application on our website ftlob.rescuegroups.org.
