Tito is a Mitred Conure and Tito was captured as a wild bird and brought to this country from her natural home. Tito came to us as the dying wish of a woman who had a terminal illness. She had bought Tito at the Quarantine Station when he got to the US. Tito had lived with her for over 25 years in a cage better suited to a parakeet. TIto's "perch" was a small box. Tito has been a picker for almost as long as she has been in captivity, she has downy feathers on her chest but due to follicle damage she'll never be fully feathered. Tito's caregiver was unable to give us any support for Tito's future needs.

Since Tito has come to us, she has learned to love her time out of the cage. In fact she is happiest when he is outside in the aviary with his new friend Blu. Blu is a Blue Crowned Conure who lost his lower beak in an accident and can no longer preen himself successfully. Tito and Blu spend their days together in the outdoor aviary with little Chevi, a naturalized (wild) Chevron Wing Parakeet who came to live with us after he broke his wing. The three of them have a lot of fun together.
