Adopt Tutu

Male · Senior · 10 years

‘My name is Tutu, I am a Orange Wing Amazon, about 10 years old.' Tutu is fully feathered, and has a lovely temperament, very gentle. Tutu likes a good head scratch and can be very affectionate. Tutu has no preference and loves men and women, though will not step up on hands. In the morning Tutu likes to do a quick voice warm up for about 10 minutes and then thats it for the day! He can be loud, but not too bad. Tutu can say Hi and likes to copy people laughing! Tutu doesn't really fly, and is happy to sit on top of his cage or on a perch outside the cage all day. He isn't destructive. Tutu mixes well with other birds and has lived with two others in his safehouse. History/Background: Tutu was previously adopted by Problem Parrots, but due to a change of circumstances has had to return to the charity, through no fault of his own. Training: Tutu will need further training to help you bond with him and teach him to step up. He currently will not step up on hands, but will step up to a perch or stick, so is easy to move around. Diet: Tutu is a funny eater! His safehouse has continually tried fresh veg and chop but Tutu won't touch it and it ends up on the floor. This would need to be continued and encouraged. One week he will like fresh orange and the next week he will throw it at you! Tutu loves his Johnson and Jeff Parrot Mix. His favorite treat is dried banana and he would do anything for some! Enrichment: Tutu has toys, but doesn't play with them that much. He only likes a few toys in his cage. Tutu is not a huge fan of bath time, but sometimes enjoys a spray with the mister, other times he walks away! Summary: Tutu is a lovely bird and not aggressive at all. His safehouse thinks he is the ‘perfect bird' that isn't overly loud, doesn't strip wallpaper or redesign your doors and is content to watch the world go by! When Tutu gets to know you he is a lovely, gentle parrot who would thrive with one to one attention and deserves the best home! If you think you can offer Tutu a loving home, please apply below!

About Tutu

What life with Tutu looks like

Tutu is a extra-large senior animal waiting at Problem Parrots in United Kingdom.

Every animal has their own temperament and history. The shelter knows Tutu far better than any listing can convey — ask about daily routine, ideal household, and what kind of adopter they're hoping for.

🇬🇧Adopting from United Kingdom

UK shelters work under the Pet Travel Scheme (post-Brexit, the EU pet passport is not valid; a UK Animal Health Certificate is required for travel into the EU). Most UK rescues focus on domestic placements but some work with EU partners.

Frequently asked

Adopting Tutu, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Tutu?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Problem Parrots handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Tutu on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Tutu if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Problem Parrots will tell you what they need (EU pet passport, rabies titer, transport coordination) and whether they handle transport themselves or refer you to a partner. UK adopters: post-Brexit travel into the EU requires an Animal Health Certificate. Plan for an extra €100–€350 in transport costs depending on distance.
Is Tutu already vetted, vaccinated, and chipped?
Most animals on TailHarbor leave their shelter with sterilization, current vaccinations, microchip ID, and an EU pet passport included in the adoption fee. The vet status on this page reflects what the shelter has reported — ask them directly if you need details on specific vaccines, recent bloodwork, or chronic conditions.
What happens if Tutu isn't the right fit?
Every reputable rescue accepts an animal back if the adoption genuinely doesn't work — that's part of the standard contract. Talk it through with Problem Parrots early rather than rehoming privately; they know Tutu and can place them more successfully than a second-hand listing can.
Why does the description sometimes read awkwardly?
TailHarbor translates shelter descriptions into English from the source language (EN). Translation is imperfect — names of streets, donors, and shelter-specific terms occasionally slip through unidiomatically. For the cleanest read, click the source link to see the shelter's original page.
