🦜For we want you to meet our new arrival, Mora the Great Green Macaw!
🌱Mora was found on the ground in Puerto Viejo de Sarapiqui, Costa Rica. She is very young and still growing new feathers. Curiously, she doesn’t yet have a full tail even though she should.
🍃Because of this, we tested her for Psittacine Beak and Feather Disease (PBFD), a viral disease affecting parrots that causes progressive feather necrosis. Luckily, her results came back negative!
😢Another explanation for her condition might be that she was kept illegally as a pet. The small cages and poor diet can seriously delay and disrupt development.
🌳Since arriving at Toucan Rescue Ranch, Mora has been eating well and remaining very active. We are hopeful she will continue to grow out her feathers and be able to fly normally! She is socializing with Fresa and Kiwi when they’re a little older, they can be released together!
