Thanks again everyone! This is the first photo I took of Wally :shy: I had brought her home in an old apple box and put in a dowel of some sort for a perch, and put her in the hallway because I was afraid my cat would get to her. I called a local wildlife rescue and was told to buy her "bird pellets" from a local pet store's bulk bins. (I definitely did not know anything!)

Walk or waddle? Lol
Wally did neither actually! It had been raining that afternoon and she was standing in the front vestibule of a building, like she was just waiting for the rain to stop ;) Her wings had been clipped and I found out later from the vet that she was underweight, which was not surprising if she had been outside for awhile :(

So sad that someone could lose her and not even look, or even lose her on purpose. I'm just so glad you were there!

Happy gotcha day to both of you! :heart: Slade thinks she's pretty. He whistled at the first picture :lol:
Thank you! Unfortunately, Wally thinks shes hot stuff too :roflmao: When we adopted our sennie, the first words out of Luna's mouth was, "hullo Wally" -- serious.

Its actually a fear of mine that if I took Wally for a play date with other blue Quakers, I may not recognize her! But in your second photo, it does look like Blu's head is more squarish... or am I imagining it now through the power of persuasion?!

Lol! Alot of the times when I see other blue quakers I think they look almost exactly the same too!

And the pictures you linked there of Blu do look almost the same as the adorable Ms Wally floof.

But I mean Blu's is more square in the back on the top. Maybe these pic will explain what I mean. Also their eyes are set differently, though I don't think that's a gender difference

@CrazyBirdChick Yes, I now see what you mean! That first photo of Blu looks the most like Wally to me - but maybe its because the background is blurred so Im only focusing on Blu.

Well, maybe we both just have gorgeous quakers :xflove: I always enjoy your Blu posts :heart:

She was waiting for you. ♥ I do believe that some things are meant to be.
I'm really happy for you both that have found each other. ♥

:Congratwav: and Happy 3rd gotcha day! I think @Eloy is right, she was waiting for the right person to come save her and love her and you were in that place at the right time for that very special reason:heart:
