Squeakers

Squeakers is a 25-year-old Senegal parrot who came to us after her owner passed away, and she is truly a very special girl. She’s affectionate, hilarious, mostly quiet, and yes, she even eats her vegetables. Squeakers’ biggest goal in life is pretty simple: be near her people and love them with her whole tiny bird heart. Because she’s a sweet old lady, Squeakers does have some weakness in her legs and benefits from soft, flat perches. She may not always be able to balance on your shoulder, but she’s more than happy to lounge in your lap or settle into other soft, fluffy spots nearby. Due to her age and ABV+ status, she’ll do best with an attentive adopter who can keep an eye out for any new quirks that may be health related. She's mocking me in the other room and laughing as I type this.

Squeakers prefers to spend most of her day out of her cage, keeping you company while you work, tidy up, or go about your day. She may chat with you, mimic you, or even throw in a well-timed laugh during your weekly therapy session (not that anyone here would know anything about that). She knows how to step up, adores head scritches, and will happily doze off while being loved on. We are also helping Squeakers build a little confidence with independent time. She does best spending most of the day around people, with some late-afternoon solo time to practice hanging out on her own without feeling too sad about it. If she decides she would prefer company, she’ll let you know with a little squawk.

And perhaps most importantly: this girl loves to dance. Put on Shakira, Harry Styles, or Taylor Swift, and she is ready for her evening dance party. Honestly, if you’re dancing, she wants in. Her favorite snacks include broccoli, crackers, mashed sweet potato, grapes, snap peas, banana, and green apple.

Squeakers is funny, loving, and full of charm, the kind of bird who wants to be part of your daily life, your routines, and yes, probably your playlists too.

Squeakers was diagnosed with Avian Borna Virus (ABV) as a part of her intake exam with our exotics veterinarian.
