Hamar looks regal, like you’d see him in an old black-and-white photo in front of a mansion. But his personality sure is colorful. He’s a 12-year-old Congo African Grey parrot. Hamar loves to play with toys and hang upside down in his cage. He also loves almonds, maybe too much. He does need to lose a little weight, but…

Meet Mango in this week’s Pet Connection. Mango is a 10-year-old Eclectus Parrot from our friends at C.A.A.R.E. Eclectus Parrots are not your typical birds.

For that reason, most…
We’ve got another Pet Connection success story to share with you this morning. Bogart the Blue and Yellow Macaw was dealing with some stress when he visited us in early January.

We’re taking Pet Connection on the road this week, visiting the Center for Avian Adoption, Rescue and Education in West Fargo. Board Member Candi Willey introduces us to Diego, a Red-Lored Amazon Parrot. They’re not sure how hold Diego is.

Mango the Goffin Cockatoo comes to us this week from the Center for Avian Adoption, Rescue and Education in West Fargo. Mango is about 16 years old and loves to play and entertain himself.
