55g on intake, severely underweight and injured. Shelter reported the bird was attacked by crows and rescued by the finder.
Pumpkin was badly attacked by the crows, and they had exposed the brain. Pumpkin continues to be hospitalised after antibiotics, wound cleaning, pain meds of course, and now monitoring very carefully while allowing tissue to close and heal.
Please consider donating to Mickaboo to support the care of birds like Pumpkin, whose wounds are very treatable but require funding to ensure a good and successful recovery after all he or she has been through.
Pumpkin will not be available for adoption until treatment is completed.
In nature, cockatiels live in large flocks. A single bird in a cage spends much of his/her life being lonely because humans have things they must do that take them away. We therefore will only adopt a single cockatiel to a household if there is already at least one cockatiel living there. Otherwise, cockatiels must be adopted in groups of two or more.
