Sappho

Meet Sappho! This lady is incredibly curious and always keen to try something new. She plays with all toys and loves expanding her food pallet. Sappho is very smart and will work away at foraging puzzles for hours. Her happy hisses make everyone smile!

While not tame, Sappho is very interested in people and always comes up to say hello when you stand near the cage. She’d love to continue to grow her confidence around people.

Her plastic foragers and paper boxes to tear up are amongst her favourite things in life. You can treat Sappho with a piece of corn, followed by mango, which she likes to grip on her foot and gnaw on. She also likes ringing bells (under supervision) and making noise in general.

Sappho is a big hisser - not to worry, hissing is a sign of happiness or that they’re hungry and want breaky.

A typical day includes breakfast at 8 AM, water changes, and spot cleaning. Sappho enjoys her 5-10 minutes training sessions throughout the day and practises her musical talents with you. She usually takes a bath after her second water change in the afternoon. Sappho needs 12-15 hours of sleep daily, so the lights go out at 7 PM.

This colourful lady hasn’t interacted with kiddos. She’s interested in other birds in the house, budgies and another lorikeet, but hesitant to come out of her cage to meet them. She’s strictly not allowed around dogs, cats etc.

Are you musically inclined and can teach Sappho a note or two? Sappho would love to meet you and practice for her next performance together.
