Today we rescued a rather tatty looking cockatiel , he's so adorable and tame , we couldn't say no ... we got him at an auction and we now have him in quarantine while we assess why he looks the way he does , hoping there isn't going to be a huge vet bill at the end of this otherwise I may have to sell something that I don't want to LOL .. but hey we're suckers for a downtrodden little face .... oh well here he is then.   |

;D We took him to the vets today he is going to cost..but I knew that when I took him on he has had a injection for mites just in case that's what he has but the vet thinks its been a case of neglect..how the hell someone can mistreat a animal is beyond me they want stringing up..he has such a sweet nature and has a real way with whistling he does a litle tune and Daz thinks it's from a mobile and guess what ladies he has bonded with Daz that's all the ruddy birds now that love daddy..that Pluck is dying to get out and interact with him but he is in quarantine for a while..he loves it when Daz puts his fingers in the top of the cage and rubs his litle head and neck..I just get hissed at and when I talk to him he shakes his head like he is trying to shake me off LOL..but I still love him to bit's and I will keep working on him..he also does not like to be left alone and screeches at the top of his voice and boy is he loud.

;D Yeah he has bonded with me he likes nothing better than to come out of his cage and sit on my shoulder.I dread to think what past life he has had...he does the noise of a hurt dog at times it's chilling but the best bit is we know what tune he has been whistling it's the theme tune from Benny Hill LOL..it has took us a day or two but we have got it..we downloaded it off the net and he went crackers it was brill to hear him.
His feathers are looking a bit better but he is still biting himself on the neck and then doing a yelp of pain it's like a compulsion he cant help it..hope he does not have to wear a collar..Linda
