Pico is a Blue and Gold Macaw.  Pico can get very, very loud. Especially if there is another Macaw to compete with. This is based on what we have seen in the shelter.  He really likes to play with his toys and would do best in a home with someone who has experience with Macaws.  Pico has come a very long way since he first arrived at the shelter.  

Sometimes it can be hard to get him out of the cage, unless he really wants to come out, then he will step up for you.  Once we wants to go back in his cage, for example when he is on a playstand, he will let you know and will step right up.  Pico does talk a little bit and loves to eat Walnuts, Pecans, Hazelnuts, etc.

Additional Information:  

Adoptions are not 'first come, first served'; we strive to find the most appropriate home for each parrot.    We do not ship parrots and generally adopt only within a 200-mile radius of Fargo, ND. 

A pre-adoption, home visit by a member of our Adoption Committee is required for every adoption.   To review our Adoption Process, please click here.   

We charge an Adoption Fee for each adoptable parrot.  Adoption Fees are based on the discretion of the Board of Directors.
