Pictures Should I take in these two budgies?

[hrafn]

I just went in to check on the littles, and found Terre in the middle of what looked like a massive seizure. We're en route to the vet now.

Praying he pulls through and everything is fine.

 

[Karen]

Sending prayers for your little one.

 

[iamwhoiam]

Sending positive thoughts for Terre. Come on little one...be OK.

 

[hrafn]

Okay he managed to get up on his feet and his balance is a bit better. Hoping it wasn't a stroke.

 

[cassiesdad]

...prayers going out...

 

[Lady Jane]

Is he the one that had stroke before?

 

[aqualover9]

Hoping everything turns out well.

 

[JoJo&Loki]

Oh no, please be ok little Terre! We’re all pulling for you

 

[Shezbug]

Oh no. I hope everything is ok with the little treasure.

 

[hrafn]

It was a stroke! Poor darling.

He seems to be improving, though. His balance is off but he's not nearly as bad as when I found him. I thought he was dying.

The vet thinks he'll pull through and be okay. I'm going to leave him overnight (and maybe tomorrow) so there's always someone there to watch in case he goes downhill. This is going to be a long, long night.

 

[hrafn]

Is he the one that had stroke before?

Yes, he had the transient ischemic attack. I knew that put him at risk of having a stroke in the future, but I thought it would be far in the future, if ever.

I’m so sorry little Terre is still having problems. Hoping for the best.

I just saw the pictures of your babies in their new home and they’re adorable. And the cage you’ve created for them is amazing. Whatever happens, you’ve provided the best care possible to these precious babies.

 

[JoJo&Loki]

Awe poor baby. He has much to live for now with his new flock, loving mommy and a safe home. You can do it Terre

So sorry this is happening again so soon.

 

[Mockinbirdiva]

Oh dear.. poor little Terre. I was hoping their problems would be over now they are in a stable environment. All three are just the most precious ever!

 

[Hawk12237]

Oh no! Poor bird.
I just knew it would be about money. The absence of personal details was such a giveaway.

Are you going to get him/her? Tbh it will be incredible if the bird makes it (and I hate to say that)

In the 3 dozen birds I've rescued, the majority of the situation is because the owner couldn't afford good care, proper food, proper cage, the many toys, the amount of time it needs, the screaming, the mess, the biting, .....it's always some Damn excuse, which in turn equals money.
I wish people were screened as to their education regarding owning and caring for a bird.
adoption process we screen very carefully. And if we're still not comfortable a visit to home is required. That's how it should always be.
A bird doesn't deserve ignorance from those that are just plain dumb a**es when it comes to any animal.
Those that go the extra mile to rescue a bird, or any animal, my hats off to you! You have the blessed heart!

 

[Lady Jane]

We are all hoping for the best outcome and Terre is home soon.

 

[Miss Gibbs]

Oh no, poor Terre. Hope he'll recover from that stroke and go back home soon. I've been reading about Terre and the others from the beginning (just registered the other day) and my daughter and I have been hoping for the best for all 3 birdies. Thank you for doing your best to make sure these little ones have a safe home

Actually I was reflecting on the exact same thing yesterday. All those 3 birds are very young still, and they are already been put through so much because of owners who didn't give a damn. 2 lost their sight due to heavy smoking indoor, Ciel had lost a leg to a dog and the owner didn't want to take care of him (her)/ pay the vet. Soleil was given away as a bonus because the kids were getting fed up. I mean, the birds are still babies, and the kids are fed up already?!
And Terre was mauled by a cat who got two more later on...

But how do you check that people will be good owners? Like, those who are very willing and get fed up in the course of a few week because the bird doesn't want to perform all the cool tricks the kids have seen on youtube?!

I don’t know, but it would probably be better if people weren’t able to walk in to a pet store and buy a living creature for $20. When I got Jo, I was shocked that he cost $21.99. Granted I had already purchased a flight cage, perches, toys etc online but the fact is you are able to buy a bird for $20 and a pet store cage for probably another $20-30 and a bag of cheap seed for a few bucks. Then, a week later when the kids “lose interest” people probably think “at least I didn’t waste too much $”... not even considering the little LIFE that is now stuck in that tiny cage, eating crap food and being ignored or worse

Yea it´s tough to see that insanely low price tag put on them. Here Budgies cost 6 - 10 euros (6.88 to 11.50 US dollars)
I paid about 12 USD for my lovebird Sydney, and I wouldn´t sell him for 10 grand! He´s the best bird ever, so full of love!
