I wish I knew more about Lincoln's history. Other than the brief 3 months that the lady I got him from had him, I know little to nothing. I know some man had him before that but for how long? Where did that man get him from? (Why the f*** did he name an eclectus Ferrari??) Why doesn't Lincoln have a leg band? In my state it's illegal to sell birds without a leg band, so did he come from a negligent breeder? A hobbyist breeder? Did he come from out of state? How many owners has he had? Did one of those owners remove the leg band?
So many questions I will likely never get the answers to since I have 0 way of tracing his history. I wish I still had the woman's number that I got him from so maybe I could ask if she remembered the man who she got him from so I could ask him if he has any more information.
I guess that's the sad thing about rescue parrots. There's just so many parrots that no one knows the history of. No one knows where they came from, who's households they have passed through. How many names has the bird had? It's all just lost and probably forgotten. No one knows except the bird.
