Meet Mango

  • Both genders of Green-Cheeked Conures are almost identical, except for the shape of their breast bones.

  • Baby Green-Cheeks start off very dark-colored all around and then develop brighter colors later in life.

  • Mango joined the Parks team at 5 months old.

  • He loves getting into mischief and playing around.

  • He loves seeds and the special pellets that he eats to keep him healthy. Millet is his favorite treat!

  • He loves making patients smile!

  • He is a Yellow-Sided Green-Cheeked Conure, or “Pyrrhura molinae.”

  • He is a brightly-colored, medium-sized member of the parrot family.

  • Green-Cheeked Conures are native to South America.

  • They are very smart, friendly and loyal birds.

  • He loves to play with ropes, and anything else he can tear or that makes noise.

  • He loves to be around people and he loves to be the center of attention!

VISIT MANGO’S FREE LITTLE LIBRARY!

Parks Orthodontics is excited to announce Mango’s Free Little Library! If you haven’t heard of Little Free Libraries before, they are a neighborhood book exchange where anyone is encouraged to take a book or leave a book! The first Little Free Library was built in 2009 and now there are over 100,000 Little Free Libraries out there in the world! More than 36 million books are shared in Little Free Libraries every year and you can find Little Libraries in all 50 states and in over 100 countries. We are so honored to be part of this awesome movement!

Dr. Parks is passionate about reading and wanted to share her love with our community. Reading is important because it develops our thoughts, gives us endless knowledge and lessons while keeping our minds active. Books can hold and keep all kinds of information, stories, thoughts and feelings unlike anything else in this world. Being part of the Free Little Library movement allows Dr. Parks and our team to help spread a love and appreciation for reading!

Mango’s Free Little Library encourages patients and their families to take home any book they fancy and invite them to participate by donating books in return if they wish.
