💚❤️ Meet Tessa – Green-Winged Macaw ❤️💚
Some birds have a way of capturing your heart, and Tessa is one of them. This beautiful Green-Winged Macaw is looking for a special forever home that will appreciate her sweet personality and unique journey.
🦜 About Tessa:
• Green-Winged Macaw
• Gender unknown (despite her name!)
• Age unknown
• Hand-tamed
• Steps up nicely
• Talks and enjoys interacting with people
• Loves almonds 🌰
• Currently eating Lafeber products, peanuts, and Nutri-Berries
Tessa especially enjoys the company of men and tends to form strong bonds with them. She can also be good with women, although she seems to prefer having her favorite person all to herself when a man is around. 💕

✨ A Few Special Considerations
We have been told that Tessa is blind in her right eye, and one of her wings does not fully open. Despite these challenges, she is doing well and is now preening herself beautifully. She gets around well and doesn’t let her physical limitations define her.
Like many special-needs parrots, Tessa focuses on what she can do rather than what she can’t—and what she loves most is spending time with people and enjoying her favorite treats.

✨ About Green-Winged Macaws
Often called the “gentle giants” of the macaw world, Green-Winged Macaws are known for their affectionate nature, intelligence, and deep bonds with their families. They are highly social companion parrots that thrive on interaction and enrichment.
Green-Winged Macaws can:
• Live 60–80+ years with proper care
• Learn words and phrases
• Form strong bonds with their people
• Be affectionate, playful, and incredibly rewarding companions
Because of their size, intelligence, and lifespan, macaws require dedicated adopters who are prepared for a lifelong commitment.
⸻
🏡 Ideal Home
• Someone with macaw experience or a willingness to learn
• A home that can accommodate a large parrot’s needs
• An adopter who appreciates a bird with a big heart and a unique story
• Someone willing to provide ongoing enrichment, proper nutrition, and lots of love
Tessa may have a few extra considerations, but she has so much love to give. She’s looking for the person who will see beyond her challenges and appreciate the wonderful companion she is. 💚❤️
