Rec'd by messenger: Found just now. brightly colored bird. Obviously a pet. Whitehorn area. It’s green on the bottom and has a little kiss of blue on the cheek- I think it’s a budgie. The bird is resting comfortably in a box with some water in a quiet space. Text me 403-862-1188.

I mentioned in my other post what a s**tty weekend it had been...series of events just kept coming and coming.

Baby the goffin decided to continue ripping at her feathers - I made the decision to make a collar for her - while getting the items together - Bman decided to rip out a second tail feather - the one he pulled was a blood feather - about 1 inch in length - he than snapped the one beside it in two - we all know what happened next - blood splatter everywhere. I got most of the blood off but some got stuck to his feathers so it looks worse than it is.
The hormones for the toos seem to be in high drive this year - Mantra the cockatoo is also going to be getting a collar - she had half her growth back - laid an egg and began chewing again :( not long after I removed the egg - I left it as long as I could but they do get rancid after some time and have to be tossed.

While dealing with this - I got 3 calls for birds that need to be surrendered - one will be going on the website - the other 2 will be rehomed via one of our applicants and the other 2 will be arriving this sunday.

And the finale that tore my heart out - was a message from or adopter that her beloved "Popeye" had passed away - I'm sure you all remember her - she was pretty popular on Instagram (which has been taken down)and stole the hearts of many many people - including mine. I'm still in shock about it and my heart aches for her adoptive family - they loved her more than you can imagine and gave her the very best years of her life for the time they had her.

It felt like so much in literally a matter of hours and I spent most of the afternoon crying/sobbing and it took a few days for me to get my s**t back together.

So that in a nutshell has been my crappy weekend update. Heres a couple pics of bman and the beautiful "Popeye"...forever free

Happy Monday!

Its been a rough weekend but I will post about that later.
For now I want to just share how good the handicapped twins are continuing to get around - Gizmo has discovered he loves "hanging" out on the boings - he stayed in this spot for just over 2 minutes lol
When they are out and bombing around you tend to forget their handicap until that imperfect landing lol

While they are not super cuddly like some some conures - their personality more than makes up for that :)

They are still looking for their "feathever" family and their bio is on the website.

Happy Monday :)

Just a quick update on the twins Grizz and Gizmo.

This orb has been near their cage for weeks - acclimatizing them to its presence because we all know how scary new things are lol

Got it hung up for them this weekend and they love it - remember - these two have splay leg and being handicapped they don't tend to be as rambunctious - but they are sure learning!

I love watching the confidence of these two :) and they are still available for adoption as the only pet children in the home :)
