Mimosa is an adult Turquoisine Parrot, a type of grass parakeet native to Australia. Mimosa is very shy and would do best in a flight environment. We are uncertain of his age, as he came to us from a hoarding situation. Mimosa is bonded to another Turquosine Parrot, Daffodil, and they must be adopted together.
