See Marley and Tequila’s HomepageGo to our official websiteYou can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. Hatch Date: Marley – 2019 and Tequila – 2018?   Marley is a 6-year-old female Pineapple Conure (has laid eggs)  Tequila is a 7-year-old male yellow Parakeet.  They have been together for a very long time.   Marley and Tequila are a pretty awesome bonded pair that will be adopted together.  Both birds are hand-tamed, but Tequila loves to fly around more than hang with you.   Marley is hand-tame but requires lots of patience and understanding as you work with her. She needs some out-of-cage time for a bit before you try to have her step up. She is a typical Conure, who will run all over you if you let her ;) She can be nippy at times and needs someone familiar with Conure behavior. She enjoys her alone time with her foster mom.    Tequila is more independent but will call out if you take Marley away for any length of time. Professional flyer Tequila is, and sometimes hovers like a helicopter 😀   They enjoy their out-of-cage time in the morning and evening.  Both are flyers; however, they have become accustomed to hanging out in and on their  cage and only take an occasional flight for exercise.   Marley loves being with her person and seems to be more of a woman’s bird,  Yet will also tolerate men.  Tequila loves to socialize with other birds. We are looking for a home with some other (smaller) feathered friends that  would love to have a new friend visit on occasion :)   The foster home has other small birds, and Tequilla is thrilled to visit them on their cages. Tequila likes to try and make new friends with just about everyone. We make sure Tequila is only around other like-sized birds.     We’ve discovered that Marley needs a solid structure in order not to get overstimulated, which leads to nipping and moodiness.  With lots of patience and time, she will form a long-lasting bond with her new owner.    Marley is very inquisitive and a smart Conure for sure!  This pair will make a loving addition to any bird-loving home.  Both Marley and Tequila are hearty eaters. They eat all sorts of healthy fruits and veggies, pellets, and get small seeds.    These two are being fostered in Leonardo, NJ. For the Love of Birds is a network of dedicated foster homes throughout NJ and Eastern PA. We have no central location.  You must be within driving distance to make required visits and to adopt. We will NOT ship our birds. As our adoptable birds are living in volunteer homes or their family home,  We only allow approved applicants to meet our birds.  If interested in meeting Marley and Tequila, please review our adoption policies  and complete an adoption application on our website, ftlob.rescuegroups.org.
