Another one of the rescues from the weekend is Cookie the African grey.
Cookie is 4 years old and was rehomed as his old owner couldn’t spend as much time with him as what he craved due to having to work long hours, so she made the heart breaking choice to re home him so he could have the attention he loves.
Cookie has started to pluck and has plucked most of his cheast feathers and a few from the top of his wings out too, he still has the down feathers left so i am sure in time he will grow these back.
Cookie loves to be out and say’s “It’s all right!” quite a lot! He is also a good flyer.
As it was so sunny the other day i popped him into a carrier and took him out in the garden to get a bit of sunshine on his feathers which he really enjoyed!
Here is Cookie!
oh he is lovely, hope he makes a great recovery
Yes cookie is a lovely boy,he has been with me for a couple of weeks now and is still surprising me with new words,but now he is spending more time out of his cage ,getting him back in is getting difficult.HE BITES,oh yes my gentle boy becomes quite a little devil for a while,i must admit i do have a bit of a giggle,although he has managed to get me twice,then he had a giggle.He and my poppy are calling to each other and its lovely to just sit and listen to them both,and i am so pleased to say cookie has stopped plucking,fingers crossed.
What a lovely birdie. Stopped plucking too, that’s just fabulous news. well done you
Keep up the great work
