I'm a perfect example of why people need to think about responsible pet ownership before they take on a companion pet bird (or any pet for that matter). A Mickaboo volunteer received a call from a lady asking for help with her bird--that would be me! When my owner described how my beak was overgrown, the volunteer told her it could be something quite serious and recommended an avian vet visit ASAP. Her response was, "Oh, my husband would never let me spend that kind of money on just a bird." "JUST A BIRD!" Oh, I am so sad! Thank goodness Mickaboo took me in and got me to the vet the very same day! I am getting a beak trim and treatment and should be well in just a few weeks. I'm sure my former owner loved me, but part of being a good bird-mom is to take good care of me -- you know -- the good along with the bad. Oh, by the way my name is Frisky. I'm a cute little ball of feathers, and I'm sweet and tame too! I also ate only seed in the past so you'll have to convince me that pellets and fresh veggies are good for me as well. I'm willing to give it a try though. How about you? Print this page |
