He sounds as if he was a lovely bird!!!! I'm glad to have learned about him and to know he atleast lived a good life in the end! That story though reminds me of my own little cherry head, and her life! I'm thankfull however that she is still with me for after nearly 4 years this December 22nd! She's around 15-16 years old now (as the vet estimates)... In her previous home, she lived with a tiel, lots of cats and dogs, and a couple. The bf moved out, took the tiel with him, and Noel was quite lonely. She was fed a sunflower based diet, in an old wrought iron cage with bar spacing too big, and she mutilated herself... Before that, she was attacked by a ferret which removed feathers on atleast her stomach and the back of her head, which probably resulted in brain damage. She's had a sad past, though she seems much more content and happy now, and her best pal is my female cockatiel!
