Sad rescue intake

[Hankmacaw]

I have no idea what that could be other than physical abuse from being slapped upside the head. That may not be it at all- but is definitely possible.

I agree with you about wild caughts - they don't seem to develop some of the emotional issues that our capture raised birds do.

Oh my. I hadn't even thought of that. Now, I'm going to cry again.

I think there's a lot to be said about parrot/parent raised birds. I am sure you've read about how birds like cockatoos are raised in the wild and it's nothing like what's done, usually, when they're raised by people.

I saw that they've uploaded a cute video of one of the toos looking pleased with his new cage and fresh water Just thought I'd share for anyone like me who really needed to see some positivity: PearlParrotRescue on TikTok

I can only imagine how much mold spores the birds breathed into their respiratory system. It is amazing they are still alive.

Yes. The M2 is happy to have toys. And they are all eating well.

It amazes me how well they look considering the massive filth they had to endure & lack of care they had. Hopefully the won't have any respiratory or other illnesses.

I haven't watched the videos. I can't.

MC and Secret were in small filthy cages when I retrieved them. Poo piled up. I did not keep their cages. One was destroyed, the other went to a relative's garden after power washing. MC's water had actual green slime growing in it.

Parrots are resilient.

Breaks my heart.

I wasn't sure if I want to open this thread, I have done a fair share of rescues and takes awhile for your heart to stop bleeding.
Michelle, you have heart of gold to walk into that confounded mess and get them out of there. I'm glad they are doing well. Please know that if I ever decided to help a my local rescue again. I am going have toughen up my soul to do it.

I'm concerned about the health of the rescuers. I think they ought to have been wearing better masks, if at all possible. I've been thinking about this.

Thanks. I wasn't there though. The adoption coordinator and a woman with experience handling difficult birds did the rescue. I am hopefully meeting the birds this weekend as I have to go to where they are being kept on another matter. The ladies who did the rescue deserve a lot of credit. It was a tough one for sure.

I don't think they knew they were walking into that bad of a situation.

Credit to you all doing what you do

I think that they should probably have extra supplies then, just in case, from now on. They could assess & add to their outfits as required.

It's not a criticism, it's a suggestion.
