It breaks my heart, but for her own health reasons the owner couldn’t continue with her bird rescue, Wings of Love Bird Haven. She has two birds needing homes. One is a Quaker and the other is an Amazon. My spousal unit would give me an immediate Egyptian burial if I brought an Amazon home (me entombed with the fiddos). He’s neutral about the Quaker, though.
I have two little conures that I’m mad for. I’m struggling to commit to the Quaker. It’s not the vet or finances as much as my capacity as a bird parront. I also read some things on the good, bad, and ugly thread about them that made me nervous, personality wise. I still fear I’m not doing right by Gus and Max. Gus is going thru a “not stepping out of this cage” phase. He scrambles to the back perches and warns me, if I ask him to step up, right now. Of course I’m trying not to personalize his response, but it’s difficult. Max is a shoulder surfer and likes to be in the middle of anything I’m doing. Gus will seek me out on occasion and cuddle up to me. It warms my heart beyond belief when he does this. But it’s rare at present.
Anyway, I’m just putting this out there, as I am clueless as to what to ask or think. Hiccup is a green Quaker that was found and brought to Wings of Love. The shelter was designed for larger bird species, but she took the little bird in, despite this.
