Shaun came to Free Flight when his owner’s work required an overseas move. While he can be timid at times, Shaun is a sweetheart when he comes out of his shell! Staff and volunteers enjoy the way he nods “yes” and taps “no” against his perch, demands scritches before moving from one location to another, and calls out “Hi Shaun!” in a uniquely scratchy, quiet voice to gain the attention of his favorite humans.
