Poppy

A little bit about Poppy.

Poppy is a spectacular parrot known as an Alexandrine. Alexandrines are intelligent parrots and make great pets. They learn concepts quickly and love to show off.

Because they are so smart, Alexandrines get bored very easily, and will often resort to chewing and other destructive behavior if left to their own devices. Lots of enrichment is definitely needed!

Poppy requires a large free flight aviary, she would feel more comfortable having her own space and to be in a aviary that gives her enough space to fly.

Poppy would require a good quality parrot seed , fruits and vegetables to have a healthy diet . Not all fruits and vegetables are safe for parrots , so please make sure you check before giving .

Poppy has a history of biliverdinuria, this can be associated with a underlying health condition that occurs in birds, namely liver disease.
She was treated with a course of antibiotics and the biliverdinuria has since resolved. She is otherwise healthy but this will need to be something monitored in the future .
If you are interested in adopting Poppy , one of our vets will have a chat with you about biliverdinuria in further detail and to make sure she is the right fit for you .
