Jogging around the block
well ok, so its not exactly a red front, but a mitred. A lady in a nearby town has a mitred conure she would like to give to me. He had a stroke severel years ago, and due to partial face paralysis, his beak does not wear down naturaly, so she drives very far to the vet regularly to get a beak trim. This is no longer feasable for them, money wise. But, *sigh*, he is 25 years old. I guess he is a seed addict. But she says he is a quiet old man bird. My Wagler's Ruby is so loud I cant imagine he is quiet. He is not hand tame and I wont force the issue. I am happy to give him a retirement if thats what the lady decides. Its just sad that the economy is such that they must rehome thier friend. I have offered them budgies to have some birdee friends if they choose. They are very nice people, and life is good for life. We will see...
