Last week I met my new PERFECT friend. Her, hubby and baby moved in across the street from me. We hit it off smashingly! Well....they introcduced me to their cockateil.
Poor thing was in a teeny TINY cage and really had no place to move. My heart sank when I saw him. If he stretched his wings out he hit both sides. The door on the thing was probably too small for my parrotlet. On top of the small cage with no toys and super small food dishes, they also had him in the closet. (They weren't trying to be cruel by any means, they are just uneducated about birds). Well, he is a sweet bird and I had to do something. I took my new friend to my apartment first and introduced her to Tiki so she could see how happy Tiki was in her nice big cage with lots of toys. (Actually Tiki is still in her hospital aquarium, but she got the picture). Then yesterday at the pet store I just went ahead and bought him a bigger cage! It was SOOO much fun! I bought a comfy rope perch, a toy with beads and a bell and a nice colorful pinata! Oh my gosh....the cute little guy LOVED it! He was chirping and playing with his bell (sticking his head up inside of it...so cute)!
It made me VERY happy to do something nice for this sweet, beautiful cockateil. Does anyone else have a similar story to share? I'd love to hear them!!!
