So who rescued who? I'm quite not sure..
I didn't have a clue about parrots when I found Katie advertised in the local 'Thrifty Nickel' newspaper. Not exactly a fine purveyor of exotic animals, but what did I know? Obviously not much. I'd never had a parrot before or since. 2 yrs old and abused- she was kept in a tool shed. She would scream whenever she saw a stick. A broom, a mop, a golf swing or baseball bat swing on the TV. It wasn't for another 13 years a vet found the pin in her leg due to the broken leg. I had no idea it was there. It explains a lot, the red spot on her foot pad, the way she walks with her foot turned inward.
She would bite me often during our first 6 months together. Trust issues with humans I'm sure, but also a bumbling guy learning about what exactly a parrot is. Her ability to persevere & seek joy amazes me. Even 20 years later..
