Newbie here....
Hello,
My name is Laura and I'm new to birdboard. I work in a pet store that specializes in birds(little over 12 years) and I feel like no matter how long you've had birds or worked with birds, there's always something to learn. This is one of the best sites I have been to and I am so glad to be a part of it. My flock contains tiels, conures, lories, keets, an african grey with disabilities, a rosey boa, a cuban tree frog, 1 cat, 1 dog, and 2 kids. :)

Hi Lisa,
My greys name is Jerry Byrd. He's been a part of our family for the last 7 years. He too has a twisted neck. He has a really hard time holding his head straight, therefore shakes a lot. He is a picker too. When he first come to live with me, he was between 6 months and a year old, judging by the eye color. He was thin, plucked and had mutilated himself. It only took a few weeks and lots of tlc before we became the best of buddies. Unfortunately, he still plucks, usually starting in July,and fortunately the mutilations stopped years ago. Quote:

Hi and welcome to Birdboard.
 I think it is wonderful when I see people give homes to birds that are disabled. There are alot of bird experienced people here and I've never seen a bird in need of help question go unanswered.

Laura, do you have a picture of Larry you would like to share?
I have several friends who have birds with the same 'specialness' and I am compairing notes and pictures. We kinda formed/forming a little club of sorts to share information and Dr visits with eachother. If you are interested, PM me your email. I will forward it to the other special bird moms, and maybe since Larry is older then our guys, you might have some knowledge to help us down the road!
