Re: [Mickaboo Action] Two important needs.

I could foster Zazu. I am at Dr. Speers like weekly anyway. I have a big conure cage, but I would need to get a few teil cages. I was going to get some on my way to Holly St. Next time I went there, but haven't yet. KAtie

Does anyone live somewhere in California that would like a Nanday Conure. My poor Zazu has picked at the top of her wings so much there are bloody sores. She will not come out of her cage anymore. I really don't know what to do with her. She isnt eating much either. I give her lots of different foods...both commercial and fruits and veggies. Also all kinds of different treats. She doesn't even eat her sunflower seeds which has always been her favorite. I do want someone who will love and care for her, not take her and sell her. But I am afraid for her the way she is going here. I have a new kitten which did try to get her for a couple of weeks, but has been pretty much leaving her alone now. I really don't know what to do with her anymore. When I stick my hand in to get her out she attacks me. Which is not usual. And she wont take a bath anymore either. And that was always a favorite of hers also. Our ability to take in this bird and give her a new start really depends on the two big IFs: IF I can find a way to get her here from Fresno and IF we have a foster home to take her in. Please email me if you can help make those IFs into "Can do"s. If I can't get help with these two needs, we can't help Zazu.
