Wanted: Lrg metal white or wood cage for rescue - near Chicago

LuvJardines · Oct 9, 2015

Hi, we are going to foster, with intent to adopt a M2 that rescue says is size of a Timneh( haven't met her yet). She does not come with a cage.

We might be able to take a clean, large cage off your hands for a reasonable price.

Thank you

Location would be very helpful.

M2 the size of a Timneh Grey?? Miniature Moluccan

First, have you seen a pic? It must not be an M2 which are around the size of some large Macs.

That was my initial thought but could it have had some form of growth retardation?

But a Timneh which is quite a bit smaller than a CAG? That's an awful lot of difference even for stunted growth. Now I'm curious to see a pic

.

Edit: LuvJardines - I hope you don't take offense, as I'm not saying it's not a great bird, and not picking on anything you said, just taking the words at face value

The size description makes me think of a goffins cockatoo...

LuvJardines · Oct 11, 2015

No offense taken! They also have a goffin available, so I have to assume he knows the difference. He said she was vet checked, but from description sounds like groomed and weighed. Also said she's not a classic M2, that she is not a screamer, allows him to pick her up ( when I asked about the step up), isn't a attention hound. She is fully feathered, eats pellets etc. Said she was owned by a 80yo woman that recently passed. He explained her as a gem and unusual M2.

Maybe she's sick??? Any advice? I'm near Chicago, from a previous question.

RavensGryf · Oct 11, 2015

Then maybe he doesn't know how small a Timneh Grey is

.

Are you planning this foster sight unseen? Can you go visit her first? Do you at least have several clear pictures? JMO, but I wouldn't agree to do it unless I saw with my own eyes exactly what I was getting into. I am just afraid to take anyone's word these days.

Also, along with quarantine, I'd get testing for viral diseases PBFD and PDD especially.

LuvJardines · Oct 11, 2015

I'm going to meet her this Wednesday. Thanks for advice, I will also have a typical Cbc blood panel done also. She is in his bird room with macaws and other too's which makes me think that is why she is so good or afraid if she is so small. He said she is escape artist also. If I meet her and something isn't right...

How does a person read reviews etc of rescues? Her pic isn't on rescue site either. To funny, the more I write, the more silly I soun, right?

RavensGryf · Oct 11, 2015

No, you don't sound silly. The forum is the place to ask your questions.

Try googling the name of the rescue and see if there are any reviews? Or try Yelp or other review websites and see if you can find any reviews or comments about the place?

I'd also ask if they do any viral disease testing. Quarantine alone is not enough, and a CBC won't tell you if there is a contagious disease.

LuvJardines · Oct 13, 2015

Ok guys so sorry, in my head was thinking U2 but was writing M2.... Here is her pics. Going to meet her tomorrow.... Any thoughts? She is 14yo.

Should I take her directly to a-vet or let her settle in for first?

Appreciate your time!

LuvJardines · Oct 13, 2015

One more pic...

RavensGryf · Oct 13, 2015

Definitely a U2

. Hard to tell from the pic if she's extra small, but she's cute.

LuvJardines · Oct 24, 2015

Thank you Julie.... We have her home now and she is doing well. We are doing our best to set boundaries and a routine for her. Would you know how to delete this post for a cage? We got one. Thank you!

RavensGryf · Oct 24, 2015

Great that things are working out well

. I'll close this thread now.
