Baby Doll (above) is doing very well!! I take her out every day to stretch her wings
and try and fly. She also gets to romp around on the floor for a little while, giving her
a chance to move around without hurting herself. She has lost some weight and the
tumor has shrunk a bit. She has a happy, interested attitude and wants attention.
She likes showing off her wings!
Her tail is slowly breaking off but with time and lots of good food and supplements it
should grow in a bit. Her wings are nice and healthy so this helps counteract the lack
of a tail. Heck, she doesnt care. She is just happy to be a bird!
Each day they greet me with the typical wing raise and leg stretching. What a
wonderful site to see!
Thank you little birds... I will take care of you the best I can
Happy Man Pop A Tops
is doing alright. On a day by day basis.
I am not sure how much longer he will be with us, but I will make sure that he
is happy and content for now. If he starts to suffer or falter in any way
shape or form I will do my best to allow him to "tell" me when he is no longer
able to cope. He will help the vet and I to make the best decision.
Right now, he has more good days than bad. He tires easily but he does find
a few moments during the day to take flight and let out a few chirps. It is a
real shame that this little bird had to live like he did, but I hope his last few
years here will be good for him.
In his day, he was a bold and beautiful Cockatiel.
Full of life and full of himself.
He is thin now. His liver isnt working so great anymore
(but...
shhhhhhh !!! dont tell him that.. what he doesnt know will never get in his
way....
His coloring is EXCELLANT !!
and he loves to take a misting shower. He still preens and removes all the
feathers on his tummy but after doing this for countless years, it may very
well be a difficult habit to break.
I do try misting him when I catch him pulling the feathers out, we shall see if
that helps any.
You do whatever you want little guy -
your home and whatever you say goes...
Pictures of Idgy and
Twister coming soon!
