Our unexpected new family member

[txdyna65]

Well we certainly didnt plan on this but we just couldnt leave her in the situation she was in. A friend of my mom had failing health and was unable to care for her anymore. She was living in a cage in the backyard under a tree and none of her kids (all grown) wanted her. She is 16 or 17 and not on a good diet, they were feeding her hot cheetos, peanuts in the shell and sunflower seeds. Despite all this she is a sweet girl, the woman called her a double yellow head, but I know its not but I didnt correct her. She gave us the cage she was in and a dog carrier for her night cage. We'll be buying a new cage asap for her but for now she is in our spare room in one of our other cages. I just couldnt bare keeping her in her old cage, it was awful. Will be taking her to the vet monday, she thankfully looks healthy and good feathers. Im glad she called and gave her to us, instead of selling her to someone.

Here is a pic we got of her before we brought her home, she looks like an orange wing or maybe a bluefront to me.

Very sweet! Does she have a name?

 

[Garet]

Oh what a pretty girl! What's her name? I don't know how the rest of the family could decide they didn't want to keep her, but I'm glad they gave her to you.

She's an orange wing. They often make endearing companions but are largely underrated. Thanks for giving her a soft landing!

Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww

 

[WallyLoopey]

OH!! Beautiful! Thanks for taking her in

 

[iamwhoiam]

Wonderful of you to take her into your home. Looks like an Orange-winged to me. What is her name?

 

[faislaq]

Thank you for helping her!

 

[txdyna65]

cant believe I forgot her name. Her name is Miss Birdy Sue and she says it alot lol
She also likes to purr like a cat and call kitty kitty, and does some great duck quacks. She loves her scritches and has some awful pinfeathers right now.
I figured she was an Orange Wing too, the lady has had her all her life and always called her a double yellow head.

 

[MommyBird]

Yes she's an OWA. I have an OWA and a BFA.
Orange wing girlies are just the sweetest bestest friends. They love scratches and really love baths!
You are both so lucky to have each other now!
I can't wait to hear more about her adventures with you.

 

[Lady Jane]

You are an avian angel. Does she look underweight?

 

[txdyna65]

@Lady Jane She doesnt seem overweight but of course I havent weighed her and doubt she has ever been weighed. Shes never been to a vet either so that should be fun.
Im surprised she wasnt overweight after they told me what all she has been eating, but something tells me since her owner has been sick she hasnt been fed regularly. I know she is starved for attention
and part of that is being in a new enviornment and new people.

thats an orange wing for sure, they are indeed lovely companions!
I got mine 2 years ago from a drugs dealer, and i think shes slowly warming up to me.. you are very lucky
