Name: Boq
Age: 20 years
Sex: Male
Breed: Cockatiel
Ref number: 1

Personality:
Since Boq’s arrival at the Ark he has been quite shy. To begin with Boq wasn’t perching but after lots of care from our staff, he is now perching on branches and has begun singing lots of different tunes.

Behaviour:
Due to being quite unsure Boq can become panicked when there is a lot of movement around his cage, but we believe when he is housed with other birds then he will be able to grow in confidence with people.

Housing:
Boq will need to be housed in a large outdoors aviary with other birds, but due to previously being housed insides, you will need to have a set up where he can be housed inside and then slowly transitioned to living outdoors. This will need to be done over a period of weeks and weather dependent, for advice on this process, please ask staff.

Children/pets:
Can live with children aged 12+ years, we do advise that children are monitored when interacting with Boq. He can live in a separate space from other animals.

Vet history:
Boq currently does not have any medical issues.

appreciated.
Additional information:
We reserve the right to remove a reserve at any stage of the adoption process if we believe it is in the best interest of the Cockatiel.
Adopters should consider that previous medical conditions will now not be covered by insurance. Adopters are responsible for the on-going medical costs once the animal has been adopted.
Due to the high number of applications we receive daily, regrettably we will only be able to contact the successful applicant.
