UPDATE 3/28/08: Cara went in for a re-check and her heart sounds great! She has lost some weight and she checked out well overall. Cara is ready for adoption! Can you give this little girl a loving home to call her own?


I was rescued from Petsmart because I did not look well due to a chest injury. A Mickaboo volunteer picked me up and took me straight to an avian vet. An EKG shows that I have an enlarged heart in addition to the injuries sustained to my chest. I am being well cared for by a wonderful Mickaboo volunteer. I have other cockatiels here in my home to keep me company. My foster mom says that I am a bit timid and flighty but very sweet and calm once away from my cage. Somehow I lost most of my tail feathers so that poses a challenge when it comes to flight and landing but they are growing in slowly but surely. I eat pellets and love my millet sprays as a treat every once in awhile. I play with and tear up my greens but my foster mom is not too sure if I am actually eating them! I am not big on trying new foods....they are a bit suspect to me. If I am being held, I will lower my head for careful scritches and make a beautiful trillling sound.
I am not sure when I will be released from medical treatment to go to my forever home but if you think I'd be a good addition to your family, please call Mickaboo and ask about me. I will need careful monitoring and regular visits to an avian vet but I promise I will bring lots of love and joy into your life.
