Baby Doll (above) is doing very well!!
This little bird is becoming quite popular.
Check out her video and you will see why...
She reminds me of my very first doll, so Baby Doll fits well!
Sorry, Dolly is not available for adoption.
This is her retirement home. NOTE:
NONE of the birds shown on these pages are available for
adoption.
Dolly now has 10 more pin feathers on her head. Clean environment, lots
of love, misting with water and aloe vera...
lots of good stuff!
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.
Wow!! She needs to go in the record books. I will be sharing some links soon
for nutrition recommendations. Thank you Sandy L. for the Essential Oils! It is
amazing how well she is responding to them.
Dollie has a happy, interested attitude and wants attention. She does love to
sleep allot, so I guess that is a good sign of her possible age. Mixing that with
her previous poor health would create this condition in anyone. She likes
showing off her wings! 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! She is such a little trooper. Each day they greet me with the typical
wing raise and leg stretching. What a wonderful welcome. I am so glad to
have them here!
Thank you so much for bringing these babies home. Thank you little birds...
What a real JOY you are!!

November 2006 Happy Man Pop A Tops
As you can see from the first picture, Pops was pretty darn sick...
Pop A Tops Happy Man has good days and bad, but mostly good right now so I am
excited for him!
He tires easily but he does find a few moments during the day to take flight and let out a
few chirps. He lives out in the aviary. Freedom to go in and out of the flight cage as he
chooses. He loves it! Now, he can be a bird and fly ! 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 !! His appetite is
improving every day.
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...

| BEFORE - Pop A Tops Happy Man September 2006 - the day he came home... Notice the lack of coloring, the sores on his feet, purple body, etc. |
| The leg bands were not on correct, and they were too small! Some of them were even cutting into the skin. Exposing these babies to internal parasites from the fecal matter. fThis baby was in agony!! This picture was taken the next day after band removal. Look closely and you will see the bruising and the slight deformity of the leg! Also, All of the babies had parasites, especially around the eyes. Megabacteria can be deadly! PLEASE! Have your birds checked annually!! |
| All of us were very worried about this baby bird. (Left and Below) Would he survive? So very, very sickly. The band on his leg was corroded with old food and waste. This picture was taken after we had already tried to clean some of it off. Double click the picture to the left to see Twister 1/1/07! |
| Idgy is doing fantastic! Now, he just needs to grow and fill out!! Click the picture to see him before he arrived... Some wings will be nice but they will come with time. Wings always take a bit longer when they have been chopped so short. Not sure why?? NEVER ever chop a baby Cockatiels wings so short that he literally FALLS to the ground. Cockatiels are front heavy birds. Have them clipped by a professional, preferrably your veterinarian. |
| AFTER - Click the picture to see his current video taken 12/28/06 Pop A Tops is flying and chirping and, well - hey, what can we say? He even has some peach fuzz on his belly! |
| I am woman.. Hear me chirp!! |
| UPDATE: There is a nice surprise to go along with this very special little bird. Click the picture to see a video of TWISTER 12/27/06!! |
