Bird left to die by callous people-More News

[Catherine]

Now that we have had a few days with him we realize that he is almost starved to death anyhow. So abandoning him was not the worst of it. He is in terrible shape. He is seriously thin and his feathers are a mess. His eye is infected and now possibly blind. He is in terrible shape.

He ate the egg I brought him and some of the seed mix. He is perching  better and he even sings, but very quietly. I think when he is better he will be a very pretty bird. I actually had him perching on my finger for awhile.
I think having the other cockatiel to talk to him has really helped. The healthy bird sings to him a lot and he looks more relaxed because of it.

Whoever they are out there, they didn't deserve this beautiful bird anyhow.
