Arlo - African Grey Bird for Adoption in West Warwick, Rhode Island

Meet Arlo — A Sweet Soul Who Just Needed a Little Time to Blossom!

Born on January 13, 1999, Arlo is a 27-year-old African Grey with a personality that is sure to steal your heart!

Arlo came to Rhode Island Parrot Rescue after his previous caretaker was no longer able to care for him due to age. Like many birds adjusting to a new environment, Arlo needed some time to feel safe and comfortable. For a while, he was hesitant to even leave his cage. But with patience, reassurance, and the chance to move at his own pace, Arlo slowly began coming out of his shell!

Now that he's discovered how wonderful life outside his cage can be, he absolutely LOVES coming out! You'll usually find him happily hanging out on top of his cage, enjoying his surroundings. But don't let his innocent face fool you! This sneaky little guy has a habit of quietly making his way down to the floor to go on his own little adventures! We always have to keep an eye on him because you never know when Arlo might decide it's time to explore! We're also slowly introducing him to tree stands, although he's not quite a fan of them just yet.

One thing you MUST know about Arlo: He LOVES his bells!

Arlo arrived at the rescue with his beloved bells, and they mean the world to him. They're not just any toys; they're familiar treasures that have been part of his life for years. And don't worry, wherever Arlo goes, his bells go too!

Arlo also has quite the collection of sounds! From saying "Hello" and his own name to whistling tunes, catcalling, barking, meowing, and even imitating delivery trucks, there's never a dull moment with this handsome boy!

He also enjoys showers, baths, relaxing by the window, and eating his fresh chop! And if you're looking for a way to win him over, walnuts are some of his favorite treats.

What Arlo needs most is someone who understands that trust takes time. He may not show you his entire personality on day one, and that's okay! He deserves someone who will be patient, respect his boundaries, and celebrate all those little milestones as he settles into his next home.

Arlo has already shown us just how much he can blossom when given the time and opportunity. Now, we're hoping someone will give him the chance to continue that journey in a home of his very own.

Could you be the person Arlo has been waiting for?
