Ziggy is my first foster through Phoenix Landing! I'm so happy ad excited to have him here :). He is a 22 year old Yellow Naped Amazon. He seemed to be settling in great until I put him in a bigger cage - his was WAY to small. I know it's all new to him so I'm just sitting with him and talking to him. He was talking and whistling earlier which my 9 month old son loved! Ziggy was talking to Dylan and Dylan was laughing so hard...it was so adorable!

Apparently Ziggy was bonded with the son of the family and the son was going to college and Ziggy wouldn't be getting any attention. The daughter dropped Ziggy off and said he had been in the garage with the dogs :-(. He wasn't in anyway abused or neglected but I don't think they really understood what Ziggy needed. He's on a diet if Kaytee seed so once he settles in, we are going to work on that. I offered him bird bread today and he ate a little o it so that's a good sign!

Here's Ziggy!

Thank God he is with you. Makes me so sad to think of people "discarding" a living being into a garage, not to mention the dogs being in the garage. Why do people like that have pets?

What a sweet boy! I can't wait to see more pictures of him and hear more about him. Sad that is bonded person left without him, that must be difficult for him.
I spent many years as a foster mom for basset hounds, it is very rewarding! However, I wonder if you will be what we called a foster failure? Which is a good thing, it means that Ziggy never leaves your home and becomes a member of your family!

I know! I can totally see myself becoming a foster failure! This guy is great! I am really going to try hard not to adopt him. He'll always have a place here but I would really like to see him adopted to another family so I can continue to offer other foster birds a temp home. If I was to adopt him, I would be at my max and then couldn't take anymore fosters. Plus, I'm pretty sure my hubby would KILL me! Its going to be really, really hard though!
