For those of you who didn't read my previous post about possibly rescuing a 10 year old Umbrella 'too, please read it. I'm thinking of fostering her while I build her strength up and find her a home.
Today I went to visit and the situation is pretty bad. I don't think the owners are doing it to be cruel, but they just don't know any better and don't have the time to change things. The bird is being kept in a dog crate with no toys and no perches, and two metal bowls. She eats peanuts in their shell and sunflower seed.
I took her out and she was super friendly....not very cuddly but she liked to perch on my arm and dance around. I played with her for a good hour. I unfortunately didn't get to hear any of her screams, I was hoping to see exactly how loud she is.
She apparently has never had any problems with biting, and didn't attempt to bite me either. I want to take her but I'm so worried because of all the warnings and horror stories I've read.
This is such a dilemma.
I just wanted to keep everyone updated!
