One fell from the nest last week across the street from me. My neighbour showed up clutching this little thing, "I don't know what to do. I don't want the cats to get it and I remembered you have parrots ..." I called a local rescue who told me, "we don't pick and choose who gets our help." If they wouldn't take it in I'd have another bird. This was Cheep Cheep:

Did he actually get wet or just his feet? :laugh:
Just his feet, plus the sprinkles that I sprinkled on him. You can see the look I was getting. I don’t know how anyone could imagine that animals aren’t capable of thought. I can see all kinds of thinking going on right there. Lol. He learned how to fly today! And spent the rest of the day trying to give me a heart attack. There will be no stopping him now.

Beeper learned to fly after her wing filled out and healed and she was a zippy little maniac. She used to do hot laps around my room when she was let out for the day and try to go bother the big Maxi Pionus much to her foot and toes detriment. She also had a habit of hiding and holding still on the floor and other places, probably built in defence to blend in with her surroundings and avoid predators so be careful about that as they are tiny and easy to miss.

Yes, I can already see that he’s going to be fast, fearless, and a clever little devil. He shows no fear at all of Luna, or Pixel (the greys), Cookie (WBC), or Faust—the huge Blue Throated Macaw who could snicker snack him in one bite! I feel glad they have an abbreviated infancy though. It wouldn’t be fun to chase after a baby with this high of an energy level all the time.
