About Patches
Looking for a smaller parrot?
Patches is a Lutino cockatiel, and he's such a pretty yellow. The great thing about parrots his size is that while they're still very smart, they have much more manageable life spans. A cockatiel like Patches will usually live to be about 20. So far, he's 10 so he's got some loving time left in him!
Patches is a graceful, independent fellow. He doesn't know how to do any cool tricks, but he gets along great with the other birds, and he could definitely build a bond with you as well. He's just not gregarious yet.
He was rescued when a bird breeder found out she'd accidentally sold him to a home that was neglectful and horrendous! When she saw the terrible way Patches and his friends were being kept, she rescued them and gave up breeding forever. Patches was left a little nervous from the experience, and sometimes plucks at his own feathers but not badly.
Patches would love to know the feeling of a real home where people love him. He's overdue!
