Hi, I’m Pinocchio

Hey, hi, hello! I'm Pinocchio. :)

I love to be with people and with other birds. Perching on your head is the best, and I'll step up for any kind of treat you wanna give me - but no head scratches, please, 'cause I think fingers themselves are a little scary! I could use a little flight time though, 'cause I might love treats a liiittle *too* much (tee hee)!

I've made some friends while staying at this place though, and I really like one of them in particular. I've been teaching him that it's okay to be calm and interact with the people here, and I think I'd really like it if he got to come home with me, too! His name's Guiseppe (AID 1521282) and he gives me really good head scratches, so the human's don't mind so much about my new pin feathers coming up in this season 'cause he grooms them for me! ❤︎‬

If you think you can provide the perfect home for me, or maybe even for me and my new friend, please fill out an adoption application today: https://www.rspcaqld.org.au/expression-of-interest-to-adopt (and please don't forget to include a photograph of your bird enclosure!

Tips on cage set ups can be found here: https://kb.rspca.org.au/knowledge-base/what-kind-of-enclosure-does-my-bird-need/ ).

Adoption price for me: $150
Adoption price for me and my friend, Guiseppe: $350
