And you need to be prepared to be committed. The bird you intend to adopt needs time and attention from you. If you are interested in Adopting one of these lovely intelligent creatures there are several things to consider first. We have been lucky and have found many loving homes so far, and intend to continue. We make sure that the new home is planning to adopt long term.

As a Registered Sanctuary we are legally required to re-home all that can be. The first thing we do is to settle the bird and observe the nature and see if the bird is “imprinted” or not.

Knowing the birds are having a ball is great fun for the young and old. Our parrots were never punished when they did not perform. In that time we used positive reinforcement, rewarding them with praise and treats after a trick. They have happily worked for many bus groups and visitors over the years. The Trained Alexandrines have been performing faithfully for 15 years here at Parrots In Paradise, and prior to that we traveled all over for 5 years.
