Hi, I’m Wattle

Quiet Courage in Colorful Feathers

Meet Wattle, a gentle little lorikeet who's still figuring out the world 💛

Wattle is a bit unsure of everything right now, and that's okay. New sights, new sounds, and new people can feel overwhelming, so Wattle is looking for a calm, patient home where trust can grow at a comfortable pace. With soft voices, slow movements, and plenty of kindness, this sensitive soul will begin to feel safe and curious.

Wattle may not be ready to rush into hands-on affection just yet, but every small step forward is a big win. For someone who understands that trust is earned, not rushed, Wattle has the potential to become a deeply rewarding companion.

If you have the time, patience, and heart to help a shy little lorikeet learn that the world isn't so scary, then please fill out an adoption application today (psst -including photo's of your enclosure ready-to-go helps our team process your application faster)! 💙
