Bye bye Petrie :(

[Jamie_95]

So this is Petrie ~ the baby Lorrie i've been looking after
I released him back into the wild where i found him about half an hour ago. But don't worry! He was looking much happier and healthier today than he was when i found him. His beak was a brown colour when i first took him in, and now it's a nice orange colour. He was flying around the house with no problems, and even ate a bit of his breakfast without any help! I cleaned him up alot, so he looks so much better than he did when i found him He'd shown me that he no longer needed my help to survive, but he might of died yesterday if i didn't find him
He had a big breakfast of mushed up apples and honey, a big drink of water, lots of scratches and cuddles, and then i sent him back out to find his family
He flew straight up into the tree, then off into the distance. It was a great experience even if it was only for 2 days
Thanks everyone for your help! Petrie and I really appreciate it

Rescuing a bird doesn't necessarily mean that you get to keep it. Thanks for what you did. Both, two days ago, and today.

What a happy ending! It sounds like you two had a lot of fun together Releasing an animal can be rewarding, but i can see why you miss him. Just know you helped him and now he's flying free! Have you considered leaving fruit out by your house to see if petri and other lorikeet's will feed from your yard?sending happy thoughts and prayers that petri finds his way in the wild!
BTW, great name!

I firmly believe you did the right thing, Jamie. Despite being sad, Petrie will fly free thanks to you!!

HUGS!!!!

Although I'm a big fan of all four seasons, I cannot imagine what it would be like to walk out of the house and seen the amazing hookbills of Africa, South America and Australia flying wild.

We enjoy watching our native birds, but we have nothing like what the warmer continents have.

Although, I understand flocks of wild hookbills can be just as destructive geese or locusts.

Does it still cost a tupance to feed the birds? :09:

I love happy endings thank you for rescuing that sweet baby and then giving him the opportunity to live.
