Funny story Lutino-Latino

I fostered and cared for 26 cockatiels and lovebirds after a hurricane destroyed their home. After they were well enough I found foster homes for them all. The one foster home was an older lady who had never had birds before but with my help wanted to try having tiels. I gave her two tiels to foster and told her one was pied and one was lutino.
Well one day I come for a visit and found her and a freind arguing. The friend was from South America and they lady I had given the tiels to was insisting to the friend that the white tiel comes from South America. The friend kept insisting that cockatiels did not live in South or central America.
I cleared it up be telling the ladies that tiels lived in Australia and asked where she got the idea that they came from South America , The lady fostering the birds looked at me and said " You said the white one was Latino!"

I have friend who had a lady call her pet shop asking what to do with an Andes condor? A condor! My friend replied. Are you sure it is a condor?
Oh yes the person on the phone replied. You know they come from South America. Well know my friend is envisioning this huge Andes Condor living in this lady's room. She says are you sure you have a condor? Oh yes the person on the phone says, The person who gave it to me said so. So my friend asked her to describe this condor. Oh it is about twelve inches long, green with a black head. The woman had a nanday conure!! LOL

The rescues all have new homes now but siisy and four who are waiting for the adopting person to come back from a trip. Miabelle ( Kristin) is back on the board. She picked up her two last week. I will let her tell you about them. They are working out very well with Krisitin. I was so happy she could take them. The girl she took Carlie was very sick for a time and I would not let just anyone have her.

Sissy was doing well and all her toes were relaxed and she could even clutch with one foot. But today she is puffed up. She is eating well and still perching but I can see she is in pain. I need to call the vet and see if he wants her back on Metacam.

I'm back to regular now-was in Istanbul and Dubai. I'm glad you found homes for your rescue birds. If I wasn't in Australia I would have taken Sissy-she just breaks my heart.
