Glad it seems to be working out. But I maintain that cats n parrots dont mix and that it's just a metter of time before someting like this happens.

I'm thrilled to see this update, I was very concerned for Gabriel. I don't believe your vet was exaggerating about how rarely a parrot survives after an attack like that, in fact a minor scratch can be and often is fatal. Thank you for sharing your story, I know the experience was awful for both of you but your story reminds us yet again that it only takes seconds for tragedy to strike. I hope you and Gabriel have lots of happy years together.

I am so happy to hear the update on Gabriel! He is such a fighter and I'm glad he is doing well now.
