So i have been pretty inactive on the forums over the past week or two. Id like to let you guys have some insight as to why i suppose. I have been dealing with a major hoarding case of over 100 animals. It is over now and the animals are all in great care, the people are being charged as well. So this and working and so on has consumed most of my time and i have just now begun to have my normal life back
.
So some of you may have read my post about baby girl and her story, well she is doing amazing and growing even more feathers. On a part of her body i thought was totally destroyed... her chest! She has a ton of pins and won all over her chest it is just amazing to see. I think it may be because i have been bathing her everday instead of like every other, im not quite sure but something has clicked for her to even grow this many on her chest. All of the other macs and other species are doing great as well.
I made some amazing progress on saturday. 2 years ago we had rescued a red bellied parrot and she was fine through the honeymoon. Then all the sudden she got very phobic of almost everything but toys and my father. So this ment i couldnt handle the bird i took in( she would fly around and would make herself bleed if i just kept going so i refrained from working with her for awhile). I held off for about 3 months letting my dad handle and leting her get over somethings. Then i began again working with her, with really now luck just that she wasnt flying around and hurting herself or screaming at me. So i kept up my little workings for over a year now. On saturday my dad had her out and i had just woken up and walked out seen billie and said hi. Usually she would have acted kinda reserved and scared still. But instead she was content so i went over and offered a hand and she immediatly stepped up and was fine. I was thrilled.
Another thing is in PA it is 80 degrees outside and beautiful so most of the birds went outside today with me and enjoyed time out in the sun and got some great time out of the bird room. I have also been looking into multiple ways to build our outdoor aviary and believe i have a good idea brewing so lets see if the funds get put together and we can put that up for our guys.
As well we rehomed our 2 canaries(finally) the female who was rather old ended up passing away sadly(nothing signifcant just old age). The family was willing to go get another female for the male to have and they have a huge cage and just wanted to listen and watch them. So it ended great for The remaining male and he is going to be in touch with me still. The family had a flight cage the same as mine(HQ) so they refused to take there cage just use theres, which was nice of them. Then we got a call about a white-bellied caique so it looks like the cage will be filled up again:/. Which is fine because 2 love birds will be going home directly as well.
Ok the end of my babbling i just wanted to let you guys know were ive been and give an update on stuff espically baby girl and billie.
