Meet Mortisha
Mortisha is a 36 year old Bare Eye Cockatoo. She hatched in April of 1988 and has had 2 homes. She joined her second family at just over a year old.

This girl has a nice vocabulary and does not have a potty mouth. She says I Love You, Want To Go Bye Bye, Be A Good Girl, Be A Goor Girl, Want To Play, Want To Get Out, Want A Shower and Pretty, Pretty Bird. She also imitated the phone ringing a pager beeping, and the sound of an electric drill. Mortisha dislikes vacuum cleaners, large moving objects like chairs and walkers, and has been known to bite when overly excited or frightened. She has a preference for women over men, but has had good interaction with some men here at the store.

Her diet is well balanced and consists of Harrisons Lifetime Cards (Pepper) Mayan Harvest Celestial seed mix, roasted unsalted cashews. She is not a fan of fresh veggies or fruit, but does like frozen veggies once they are thawed, and will snack on small grape tomatoes, a big of mozzarella cheese, and it's against helping herself to a taste of your lactose free cottage cheese if you let her.

Mortisha travels well in a carrier and has been on several trips cross country by car and plane.

Her cage is included with the adoption.
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.
