Rollerblading along the road
I was extremely close to losing my beloved Kakariki Two-Tone yesterday afternoon. I let them out for a fly in their bird room and came to sit out on the computer while I had let out the Eclectus parrots out too.
A few minutes later three Kakas come shooting out in to the main room! Thankfully the Eclectus couldn't care less and just eye balled these crazy little flying machines. So I let them have a big fly around. Warned my partner to take care when coming home from work.
All of a sudden they took flight and had a mini scare and one Kaka went smack in to the glass window. I didn't see anything come flying back up, so I walked over and she was laying on the floor not moving. Feet clenched. Freaking out she was going to die in my hands, I took her in to my room and put her in a soft bedded container to see if she would recover.
Then came out to catch the others so the same wouldn't happen to them. Got them all back in the cage.
Checking on Two-Tone every ten minutes, I mixed up some spark water and gave her a bowl of seed. Over the course of the evening she perked up and started to eat and drink. I left her in the container over night and this morning she was back to normal! She's now back in the cage with the others.
I really thought she'd killed herself yesterday
Now I am in two minds about keeping them in the house. I have two spare aviaries outside with a secure walk in section. They are such smart little parakeets that keeping them in the bird room [where it is safe] is going to be an issue. Adding an internal door isn't possible at the moment. I just have those magnetic fly screen door thingys but they've worked out how to get through. So has Sage but she follows me around anyway.
But if I move the Kakas outside, Sage will have to probably move out here with the Eclectus. Or she will be alone. Sage is good with the Eclectus but of course I watch when ever they are out together.
