Hi would love to introduce Andre..
Greater sulfur crested cockatoo (so a BIG fella)
1year old male(as been told by previous "owner")
Im his 3rd home this is enough to be of concern.
Where to begin... the begin..so mot the order i dicoved the information but his story not mine..
...so wild caught (legally has a ring* which is legitimate) *ring is a split ring might be asking vet to remove so I don't get caught in anything.
So he was damaged in his capture resulting in missing one tip of his toe and scaring on the other doesn't effect his climbing or feeding at all thank goodness after being captured he was kept in a small cage in a garage... this is home #1...
Rescued from a garage to a kind but impatient house with kids and highly expected to become friendly within 3 months resulting in a nasty bite causing nerve damage to home #2 ...
Given cheap to local breeder who put in 2 weeks work and relisted as avery bird friendly but needing work wings heavily clipped and sold on to make a profit....#3...
Now he is with me I have gotten as a semi tame friendly bird only to find out all the above information... he will never be rehomed even if he never becomes my best buddy but with so much life yet to live as a bird he will be loved respected and live his best life ... to the best of my abilities.
If you have resued a bird from similar situations please any and all advise please im giving him space but have been hissed at and gently bit i respected his bite as me pushing too far and accept it without a flinch he let go we both stepped back and started again with space and treats again... hopefully I'm doing it right.
