Rescued Baby Parrot Only Wants Cuddles During His First Week in His Forever Home originally appeared on PetHelpful. It takes a special person to open their heart and home to an animal in need, but rescuing a baby bird requires a whole other level of commitment. Many bird species, like Macaws, African Grey Parrots, and Cockatoos, can outlive their human family members, so they really are signing up for a lifelong commitment. Regardless, rescuing birds can also be one of the most rewarding things that avian moms like Jen ever do! This dedicated bird mom is the head of the @the_green_bird_brigade, her flock of 9 rescue parrots who help entertain and educate others about bird care through cute and resourceful TikTok videos. On June 10, however, Jen introduced her followers to her flock's newest addition, a baby macaw named Pyro. The young parrot may still be getting used to his new forever home, but endless cuddles with Mom and Dad are helping him feel comforted while he adjusts! I've never seen a baby parrot before! Pyro the macaw is positively stunning, from his rainbow of feathers to the affectionate, childlike way he interacts with his parents. It's easy to see why his parents fell for that sweet, feathered face!"He's just a baby?" one commenter asked. "I never realized how big they were. He's very handsome!" Isn't he? Even though he's still very young, Pyro would tower over adults of other bird species. But compared to other macaws, he's still quite small. Even though he's old enough to have his colorful feathers, Pyro is still in the fledgling stage when he learns to fly. Thankfully, his mom and dad are dedicated to helping his wings develop properly, so they practice flying in controlled environments like the bedroom. What a fluffy baby bird! Pyro isn't confident enough to rely on his wings by themselves, but he's learning more and more every day. This quick peek at the bird's training proves to everyone watching that Jen and her husband truly know what they're doing with their rescued pets. They are avian experts and bird lovers to the core, and they'll go above and beyond to ensure their parrots live the best lives possible. Clearly, Pyro couldn't be in better hands.
