Zuri, my other Meyer's Parrot

[Shade]

Zuri is my 4 year old male Meyer's Parrot. I got him from a rescue when he was a little over a year and a half I think. And for the most part, back then, thought he was a female until I finally got him sexed. He's my fourth Poi.

You can read more about how I got him and his past here:
Little Zuri

He's my most independent bird for sure - I think the lack of proper socialization in his early days (in previous home) is partially responsible. He's still very nervous when faced with new people/situations, although much better than he once was. He does love head scritches though..when he wants them

Some pictures of Zuri

Is this the little guy who was rolling around with his ball in the video? I showed it to another parrot person, and we both got a big kick out of it

Nope - the Rolling Meyer's was Petey (the other one).
This little one does like to forage and do tricks - should take a video of his enthusiasm for the turn around trick...

Zur is really very beautiful. Take good care of it as it is very very cuteee

I tried and tried to find a Meyers but no luck. He is so gorgeous and I am so jealous.

Meyers are just awesome! I love my little guy! Wish they were more common because they are a great species for a first parrot. (Keep looking Spiritbird...my Meyers and CAG compliment each other very well).

I only have room for 2 birds so no Meyers. It would have matched better than a GCC and grey.

Thanks everyone!
