Adopt Zanthea, Milo, Loki

Female

Hi! We are a bonded threesome of Eclectus parrots. We have been with our current owners for 6 and a half years. Zanthea and Loki are the power couple of the flock, producing eggs at least 3 times a year. Zanthea is the sweetedt girl and even when hormones are raging she is still so sweet and placid. (as long as you don't go near her eggs!) Loki on the other hand will not tolerate the main carer during the breeding periods, he will bite so we tend to remove him from the room when cleaning etc. He seems to tolerate the man in the house though when he goes in to clean. Milo is a sweetheart always. All live freely in a large bird room with other parrots and have access to an outside aviary. History/Background: We were previously adopted by Problem Parrots, but due to a change of circumstances have had to return to the charity. Training: All will fly to you freely, but Loki can bite if hormonal, so Loki will need some work with this. Diet: Due to their special diets, they eat mainly fresh fruit and veg. They eat very little seed and will choose veg and fruit ober seed which is good when living amongst other species. Zanthea does have protein and calcium rich foods especially during and after her egg laying periods. Enrichment: The love nothing more than being in the outside aviary. They do play with wooden toys and will happily swing on ropes all day long. Zanthea and Milo love sitting on your shoulders while you go about your day. Zanthea loves daily baths r sprays and the the boys usually join in too. Summary: They would suit a home where they are free to go about their day, ideally a bird room or an aviary. They do get along with other birds very easily and will form friendships with them. Zanthea does tend to lay her eggs on the ground in a box, which is out of reach of the other birds above. Providing they do not go down to her box she is happy. We do remove the eggs once she has laid and replace with false eggs, which we remove after about 20 days. She was a fully feathered bird until she started breeding and the hormones kicked in. She also tends to over preen. All in all they are not noisy birds, just the odd calls now and then, usually from Milo as he has not got a lady. They are easy to care for and are really no bother at all. They are not needy birds, but do love to interact with you and they would listen to you talk to them all day long. The males do talk and say ‘pretty beak', ‘good boy', ‘I love you' and so much more.

About Zanthea, Milo, Loki

What life with Zanthea, Milo, Loki looks like

Zanthea, Milo, Loki is a large adult bird waiting at Problem Parrots in United Kingdom.

Birds are long-lived, social, and noisy. The species and individual history matter enormously — ex-companion parrots can carry strong attachments and trauma. Ask the shelter about their daily routine, diet, and whether they'd do best alone or with a flockmate.

🇬🇧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 Zanthea, Milo, Loki, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Zanthea, Milo, Loki?
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 Zanthea, Milo, Loki on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Zanthea, Milo, Loki 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 Zanthea, Milo, Loki already vetted, vaccinated, and chipped?
Most birds 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 Zanthea, Milo, Loki 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 Zanthea, Milo, Loki 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.
