I have one of these guys, Red Loreds are one of the friendliest, loyal, beautiful parrots you can find. Mines like a little puppy dog, he follows me around the house trying to get to my shoulder while making all sorts of crazy noises. I love mine and wouldnt trade him for the world. I sincerely hope youre able to find a loving home for this one because they really need constant attention and it would be sad to see him suffer in any way, most people dont realize that owning a parrot is a lifelong comittmemt. Good luck. If I didnt already have two Amazons, Id take him in a heartbeat. Pics of the actual bird would be nice.
