Tropic Zone Exotic Birds

Meet Emilio

Emelio is a 5 year old Alexandrine Parakeet.

The Alexandrine is a larger cousin of the Indian Ringneck and the first thing you'll notice is that big beak. These guys are big chewers, so make sure you budget for a lot of wooden toys. Emilio is friendly, talks, steps up when asked, but can be a little difficult to get out of his cage because he's shy with new people. He has had a diet of seed and pellets as well as fresh veggies and fruit.

Emilio was originally a Tropic Zone baby. He says things like Hey Baby, Step Up, Come Here, and Achoo!

Adoptions require multiple visits over the course of at least 2 weeks before the bird can go home with you. We look for the interaction between the bird and the prospective owner. It's important that the bird can form a bond with you and if the bird makes it clear that it does not like you, then the adoption will not be possible. Tropic Zone is a very different environment from the home environment the bird was used to. Birds available for adoption may have behavioral quirks such as aggression, biting, screaming, or the use of foul language, and many time these behaviors do not appear until after the bird leaves the store and returns to a quieter home environment. We make every effort to notify you of behaviors we know about, but Tropic Zone takes no responsibility for behaviors that appear after the bird leaves the store.
