Dislikes:

Charlie is one of our newest, but also most senior, resident parrots in the flock! In her 50’s, Charlie came to us as her owner’s health declined.

We’re still getting to know this gorgeous girl, as she’s quite shy and cautious with new people - but we have already learned one thing: She just LOVES beads! Her favorite activity to-date is gently removing pony beads from tied knots in the long strings attached to her enrichment toys, curiously rolling them about between her toes, then studiously chucking them to the floor!

We look forward to helping Charlie come out of her shell and teach us more about her amazing personality and preferences!
