I've got a special little girl named Cinder. She's a tiel. She came to me at the age of nine, with a badly deformed foot, and chronic sinus infections. She was in a bad environment, being picked on and beaten up by other birds, and that his how her leg became broken, and dislocated. It was never treated and healed badly, and she lived that way for over two years before coming to me. My vet suggested amputation, for Cinder's own comfort and safety, so that is what we did. It was the right decision, as now she is much happier and it is actually easier for her to get around with one leg, than it was with a badly deformed leg sticking out to the side and getting caught in the cage bars. She is almost 14 years old now, and is very happy, content, and sweet. She is not totally tame, but will let me pick her up to move her from place to place. She does not enjoy being held for long though, and wont allow scritches. But thats okay with me. Just knowing she feels safe, and happy and secure, is very rewarding. She deserves to be happy, and as far as I can tell, she is. Thanks for reading. This is Cinder:

Thank you. Yes, Cinder is so much better off without that dangling leg. It was such a danger to her, and no doubt, caused her pain. She is happy now, although very sedentary. She doesnt move around her cage much at all, but, she is content to sit on her padded perches, and watch the world go by. I guess she's earned the right to relax, and be a perch potato, if she wants to. :hug8:

If anyone is interested, this is Cinder's full story. Its long, but it tells all about how she came to live with me. This was written almost four years ago now. Cant believe its been that long! Yet, at the same time, feels like she's been here forever.

Special Friends
