Tipsy the African Grey

Tipsy

Tipsy was previously at a golf resort where they offered exotic bird experiences. It was clear that this program was not a good fit for her when she started exhibiting stress-induced feather plucking behavior. This led her to be rehomed to Alveus.

She is an ambassador for how the pet trade and habitat loss have affected her parrot species and many others around the world.
