Ziggy is looking for a new feathever family…
This sweet girl was adopted back in 2019 by an amazing family who now reside in Prince George BC.
Unfortunately, an unexpected health concern has arose and they have made the difficult decision to find a new family for Ziggy. The bio provided is from the family and we encourage you to reach out to them directly for more information. We will help them facilitate placement in the Prince George BC area.
Meet Ziggy! She’s a 17-year-old confirmed female Senegal parrot located in Prince George, BC.
Ziggy is a very nice, cute and easy-to-care-for bird. She is rather independent yet enjoys occasional interaction on her own terms. She thrives in a calm, low-stress environment and prefers a private, quiet space where she can feel safe. She does not enjoy excessive movement or loud activities and can scream and become agitated in such conditions. She is much happier to receive companionship when given her own space.
Like many parrots, she can be feisty, especially when scared, and may bite. But once she chooses her human and forms a bond, she is incredibly sweet, loves head scratches, and enjoys being held. Although Senegal’s are not always known as talkers, she is a chatty girl! She likes to repeat her own name, say pretty bird and nighty night and shares various clicks and whistles. She reserves wolf whistles for special occasions because if she does it, it means she really likes you!
Ziggy is very attached to her space and if taken away, she will fly back to her cage. Because of her comfort and reliability, we’ve left her cage open 24/7 for years without issues. Ziggy is used to a healthy diet of fresh vegetables and fruit and enjoys enriching activities like chewing cardboard, wood, or playing with her toys. She is used to living with dogs and enjoys time outside in the fresh air from the comfort of her cage in the summer months.
Ziggy is a rescued parrot, but her first two homes were very loving, and she’s never been mistreated. She comes with her original cage and travel carrier, plus a large double cage with all accessories and food.
