These Birds Easily Adapt to Being Handled by People and Are Very Social

These friendly birds easily adapt to being handled by people and are very social. They generally stay with their mate for life, but still like being in groups. They are also highly intelligent and can learn all sorts of tricks. At Living Shores, our birds have been trained to do things like ride tiny skateboards, push around a little shopping cart, perch for medical exams, and hi-five!
