That is awful why would someone do that or even have a bird if they were that scared of them. ALso if I were in a little dog crate I would attack someone too.

Some people just shouldn't have animals and birds especially. I have three birds in my flock all taken from homes of people who couldn't care for them or didn't care for them. Its a commitment to take care of these birds I wish people understood that.

So sad!

Monte..Scarlet macaw, Seminole...yellow napped amazon, Starburst... sun conure...Rain, cinnamon green cheek.
This reminds me of (meanie) I renamed him jester... I took him in, only to find out he had a severe respiratory infection...he spent his last days at the vet. I stayed with him most of the time....in the end, we had to put him down.. he died in my arms...

I HATE so called people that treat birds like this....it makes my blood boil.. poor baby..

Some people are horribly cruel because they somehow derive pleasure from being that way. Others are equally as cruel because they're insensitive and brain-dead stupid. Either way the result is the same... the idiots torture and abuse beautiful, defenseless creatures. I harbor an intense HATRED for such people! There are so many stories about these heartless, sociopathic morons and the brutality they've imposed upon their helpless, innocent animal victims. Whenever I think of or hear about one of those stories I become LIVID beyond belief!!! :mad::(

The article about Buddy the GW doesn't appear complete. It seems to end with "CONT" and there is no link to access the rest of the story that I can see. But I must say the part of the description that IS there is shockingly horrible enough :(. I just wonder what has become of Buddy since he was rescued... I sure hope he's OK :confused:

Omg, how horrible. I wanted to reach into my computer & jerk the jerk (not my first choice of a name for him) who hit this baby with a baseball bat right through & show him how that feels!!

I so wanted to read more about this darling GW. I hope it gets the adoring attention it deserves & goes on to find a loving home. And I do hope its abuse has not completely destroyed its ability to one day trust the person it was rightfully meant to go home with when they come to take him/her home.

i wanted to read more about him also :( but i am going to send this place a email because the rescue that rescued buddy is upstate from me. if they still have him i would like to try and adopt him. i hope he's doing alright. from what it looked like the story was a recent one and this is a fairly new rescue group. petfinder doesn't even have him on there yet. but he's the pet of the month when you click on the orginization. so maybe they still have him. i am going to try.

i was wrong on the rescue group, they have been around but i guess they had some tough times and lost everything. and right now are trying to get back on their feet. and they are updating their website. but as far as buddy goes, best believe i will keep every body updated on his status. i just now sent a email. they have on their mini page that they check their mail once to twice a day and email's are the best way to contact them so im keeping my fingers crossed.:D

OMG, that story had my tear ducts in overtime. :( First reading Buddie's story, that poor, poor baby! I am with Turquoise on this one: Hand me his previous owner AND a baseball bat and I'll show him the exact same respect he showed this poor GW. :mad: I'll be happy to yank some of his "stuff" out as well. How could ANYBODY do this???

And THEN, as I continued reading, and saw that you are inquiring about Buddie, HEATHER! Those are some GREAT news!!!! I've got the chills now. I will keep EVERYTHING I have crossed for you so that this will work out.

THIS is a nail biter....for sure. :)

thank you wendy! i think im even keeping my toes crossed about this one. i am with you and turquoise about that guy having his face beat in with a bat. just for some leverage. i think looking at buddies picture they had to sculpt a new beak for him. it's what it kinda looks like. if everythign falls into place, i was thinking of changing his name though. because we already have two buddy's in the family. my dads dog, and my aunts dog. or do you guys think that would be too stressful on him to change his name? i think a name change would be the least of his worries though.

All great names! My favorite so far is LOUIE. Has a GREAT ring to it. :)

And I just looked at his beak, and yes, it looks like he had some work done to it. Remember, the beak grows continuously (even though slowly), so I think in due time you may never know anything was ever wrong with it. :)

OH, and I saw they list a phone number. If you don't hear back from them via email, you could always call. ;)

Considering that if you're able to adopt Buddy it will be the beginning of a brand-new life for him, I think a new name might be very nice since it wouldn't serve as a reminder of his past and the pure hell he's been through. Part of the reason I renamed Zaf when I got him was to denote a fresh start at life for him. And Buddy's past absolutely justifies giving him as fresh a start as possible... I don't think anyone will disagree that he certainly deserves that!!!

Ditto! Wishing you all the best!

And goodness, the story of that "owner" just sets my teeth on edge. The only good thing that person did for Buddy was pass him into proper care. Why do these people even want to GET birds when they don't know a thing about them??

I am so hoping for the best in you getting Buddy/(New Name), Heather. :D

I think that we are drawn to the right place or site for a reason, especially when we are just passing time looking at all the pretty parrots. Then that one, the right one jumps out at you & you just know it is meant to be. :)

I found my Ruby Jewel when I was 'window shopping' just passing the time. Wendy found her Ripley or I should say decided he was 'The One' after visiting him so many times. And you have found your 'Special One'. :red1:

I know there are hundreds of 'The One' stories that could be told over & over again here. It just makes me feel so warm & happy inside every time I read one of these stories. :blue1::red1::blue::red:
