Talo, a 6 year resident of the local animal shelter, needed a foster home when covid broke out and they had to close the shelter. They called me, apparently they remembered me coming in and talking to him thru the years (I also had adopted many birds from them in the past)
Turns out, he hated everyone that worked there. They wouldn't adopt him out because of his terrible attitude. I was even afraid of getting near his beak. Everyone at the shelter is a woman and once I took him home we got to know each other well and he's a huge sweetheart. He just doesn't like women!
The shelter was amused at this fact and told me I can keep him.
I have to trim his beak every few months. It gets really long. I have NO history other than he's at least 6 years old. I've attached a photo of his beak today. Should I be concerned? Doesn't fatty liver disease have this symptom? He seems otherwise very healthy. He's on a pellet diet but I can't be sure he was before I took him in.
