Cricket the Meyers Parrot Cricket is the sweetest most mellow natured boy you could ever meet! He’s got a zest for life, loves food, snacks, things to chew up and the ability to get around despite his ‘little feet’. Cricket was dumped by an owner who decided he wasn’t flashy enough for him and he wanted to get a “better bird”. Little information was left on Cricket and he was left to fend for himself. Cricket was running around the floor being chased by other birds and attacked, they’d ripped out his wing and flight feathers leaving him no real escape and bite off all his toes. He was unable to climb, balance and grasp normally, nor was he able to fly at the time. We immediately took him in in a heartbeat. He’s been a ball of love ever since and loves to get pets and sit on your hand or shoulder. We’ve provided special cage accommodations that allow for him to walk around on flat feet since he cannot grasp, and hammocks under areas he could potentially fall from. He has flat perches and plenty of activity. He loves to greet us every day and is happy for a head scratch or two. He’s a handsome man estimated to be about 22 years old and will live out the rest of his life here at the sanctuary for whatever that time may be, whether it be another year or another 8 years or more! We’re happy to provide him with love and empathy for the rest of his life and ensure he has no more hardships in his future.
