Quarantine her away from other birds and get her to an avian vet asap (I'm concerned about the feather loss on her head and neck area). In the meantime you can feed her veggies and fruits - if you have pellets, that might be an easier transition from seeds.

Well done for rescuing her. The others have great advice!
Do you have any bird experience?
Oh, that poor baby. I got my Rocky off seeds (other than a few for a treat) by just offering him pellets. The food they gave him was also wild bird food and it wasn't even GOOD wild bird food. I offered pellets and he dove in and that was that. She might feel the same way. Others have given you good advice and all I can offer is to love her and be patient with any fears or quirks she has, because she probably has plenty. Rocky was scared of the oddest things and still is, to a degree, due to the abuse he'd suffered. We still occasionally bump into a new one, and he's been with us almost four years. Do you know how old she is?
She already adapting to you guys U2's have a great personality, glad you save her from those heartless people that isolated her with no care.Oh, that poor baby.

We are just beginning our journey with this beauty. She already has a wonderful personality coming out. When we spend time with her she sings to us. And chats a lot. We unfortunately don't have any idea how old she is. Hopefully the vet will be able to answer many questions.
We have searched and searched and the closest avian vet to us is 12 hours away, and can't get her in until Sept. 13. My CAG's vet won't see her, he is not taking any new patients for 4 to 6 months. I did find an avian vet that will coach me through over the phone and emails, but I want to have blood work done.

Wow, seems to be a dearth of avian vets in your location. In what general area do you live?
