Rescued BG Macaw Lenny ***All Shiny and New*** UPDATE ADOPTED

[Macawnutz]

She can close her beak just fine but look at her pictures. At rest her beak was open due to the beak not allowing closure. It's just a comfort thing. She is used to and comfortable with it slightly open, it's where her jaw is used to resting.

She actually does not look like a scissor case at all, just overgrown beak causing the scissor. I bet in few days you will never know the difference.

Talk about before and after photos! It's so heartwarming to have a happy ending in the avian world.

It's awesome they let your friend back to watch and take pics.

That's what I thought, as well. I was going to wait for a straight on shot.

I told my friend.... stick your finger in there, she may unload 7 years of anger on your finger.

I never left my couch. This was @2macshan & my friend. I'm just the storyteller.

 

[metalstitcher]

well @2macshan thank you for saving and helping her. I can tell from the light in her eyes she is thankful and grateful for what you did for her. And you did do you part @Macawnutz by sharing her story with us and people on FB with @Danita it brought a lot of awareness to what happens to parrots that are not in good homes and being taken care of like they should be. I had a few of my friends ask me questions about it and when I told them she was just not in a good environment (because I don't know the whole story about her) the horror on their face said a lot but I let them know she is in a good place and being loved and cared for like she should be.

 

[2macshan]

Yes I plan on saving many
these poor birds out there needing help breaks my heart

I'm not going to lie, it SUCKS to do. All you want to do is pound the person you are standing in front of... You don't ask a lot of questions, you play stupid, you want them to relinquish the bird. I can't bring my husband or he would knock their block off!

I remember an amazon I rehomed, I stood there listening to the diet, I even asked the man if he had some extra butter popcorn that I could take home with me for the bird.

You scream and vent after you have the bird in hand and are pulling out of the driveway! If they don't relinquish, then you call authorities. They know they are wrong, they just don't care.

@2macshan will have that anger and image forvever. It never gets easier to think about.

Korbel was covered in formula and stuffed in a dark dirty tupperware... The man pulled him out and over fed him formula from a dirty cup. I have no idea what the temperature was and neither did he. I won't ever forget the smell in the apartment, crap everywhere and dirty dishes piled high... I didn't ask anything, nothing at all. I stuck him in my jacket and left.

Sometimes we don't need to know, it will save us a few tears at the very least.
