Yep.

Helping them to heal, often helps to heal you in a constructive way...

I got into parrot rehab when going through a messy divorce, and having more stuff than I could deal with. The parrot rescue became my place of peace... and gave me a constructive outlet for all that negativity swirling around you.

They use "horse therapy" quite a lot too...

You're welcome, and thank you for support!

It really is therapeutic to help parrots. It helps just to find a purpose in anything really. I go through serious bouts of depression, ESPECIALLY during winter. But my Cockatoo, Cali, who was stabbed by someone 13 years ago, gave me serious motivation to get out and do stuff this winter. She's going to have major reconstructive surgery in a few weeks, and it feels good to help "fix" her!
