Notes from For The Love of Birds

Meet Pablo! Pablo is a lively and charismatic male Black-Capped Caique, born in 2013, making him approximately 13. He is an energetic and playful bird with a big personality. Pablo eats his pellets and chop, and gets VERY excited at chop time. He enjoys pine nuts, almond slivers, and sunflower seeds as treats. He is an avid chewer of toys, and spends a good bit of time shredding what is his. Not many birds imitate other birds quite as successfully as Pablo does. He can perfectly repeat the call of the cockatiels in his foster home, and will mimic the amazon there, going back and forth. He whistles melodies often as well. Pablo is a puzzle when it comes to whom he decides to like. He interacts well and takes treats nicely through the sides of his cage from everyone, but is quite aggressive toward the woman in the family when out of the cage. He does better with the male figure in the foster home, but his favorite person is the teenage girl. He also has allowed a lot of interaction and touch from his "foster grandmother" who cares for him when the family is away. All this to say he is picky. He'd require a good amount of time to determine if he'll work with a potential adopter. Pablo does have a plucking issue, and his belly now only has down on it. This doesn't seem to be worsening, but should be carefully monitored by an adopter. Because of his very particular preferences and tastes, Pablo should only go to a very experienced bird guardian,and will require 3 visits before he can be adopted. According to past information from when Pablo was initially surrendered to our rescue, he can form a very close bond with someone over time. The right person will be lucky to have his companionship! Pablo is being fostered in Limerick, PA (near the Philadelphia Premium Outlets). He will require 3 visits to be adopted.

We do not ship our adoptable birds.

For the Love of Birds is a network of dedicated foster homes throughout NJ and Eastern PA. As our adoptable birds live in private volunteer homes, we only allow approved adopters to make the required visits. If interested in adopting Pablo, please visit our website ftlob.rescuegroups.org Please read our adoption policies, and fees and complete an adoption application.
